war would be fatal. I believe that the best, and indeed the only, chan### solving this problem of hydro-electric development in the Highlands, whi### for long has been a matter of acute controversy, is to take advantage of the substantial degree of national unity which now exists to pass the legisl### to establish the machinery recommended by the Cooper Committee. The es###abl ment of the new Board now would enable possible schemes of development t### be investigated during the war so that immediately hostilities cease the de### ments which are urgently required for electricity supply could be procee### with.
