million dollar question

— Newfoundland claims on western Labrador rest largely on old regulations for the fur industry. The new official boundary strikes north from Belle Isle Straits, turns west at 52° latitude for 300 miles and then weaves north toward Cape Chidley, encompassing on the way headwaters of all rivers draining east. Such a delimitation doubles the previously accepted Labrador area which was about 120,000 square miles. One reason why the Labrador boundary is a million dollar question may be discovered by journeying up the rock-bound coast to Hamilton Inlet and following that arm of the sea 150 miles inland. There a surprise awaits the American who thinks Niagara's supremacy as a falls is unquestioned. Grand Falls on the Hamilton River is nearly three times as high as Niagara. So mighty is the flow of water that, with the rapids, Grand Falls' potential water power is greater than Niagara's during the summer months.
