DEVELOPMENT
Ottawa,
Nov.
27.—The
feature
of
the
opening
of
the
annual
meeting
of
the
Commission
of
Conservation
here
this
morning
was
the
annual
address
of
the
Chairman,
Sir
Clifford
Sifton.
Probably
the
most
outstanding
recom
mendation
made
by
the
Chairman
was
one
in
regard
to
waterpower
develop
ment.
He
suggested
that
an
interna
tional
commission
should
be
named
as
a
means
of
guaranteeing
the
best
and
most
economical
development
and
division
of
power
between
the
United
States
and
Canada.
Sir
Clifford
also
dwelt
upon
the
ne
cessity
of
eliminating
political
patron
age
in
connection
with
forestry
work,
declaring
that
there
is
no
branch
of
public
service
that
will
benefit
more
by
the
abolition
of
patronage.
