The vote administered the first major legislative setback to the Roosevelt administration. President Roosevelt had urged rati- fication in two communications to the senate as a step toward opening vast interior areas of the United States to ocean commerce and pro- yiding cheap electricity for his own state of New York, but the opposi- tion of a large group of Democrats and Republicans proved too strong. Only a while before the treaty vote he told reporters he would send the rican meee reconsideration when ere e, the giant is eg teal lay ca a ed that failure of ratification would Place the seaway entirely under Can- adian control. Withdrawn All Reservations To reach the vote, treaty opponents Mier: all reservations to the reso- Wu of ratification, paving the for a clear cut vote on the pact with out strings. The vote of northwest senators on ratification of the 8t. Lawrence treaty follows: 5 Minnesota: Schall and Shipstead for. North Dakota: Frasier and Nye for. South Dakota; Bulow for, Norbeck paired for. a Montana: Erickson and Wheeler for. Construction of the seaway would involve a 27-foot channel from the foot of Lake Ontario to tidewater at Montreal; a system of locks at the eastern end of Lake Superior: a dredged channel between Lakes Hu- ron and Erie; another series of locks between Lakes Erie and Ontario; a two-stage dam and canal system at the international rapids around Ogdensburg, New York, and additional locks and canals at two other major rapids below the inter- national section, one about 50 miles from that section and the other near Montreal. About seven years would be required for the work. A engineers’ estimate said the cost to the United States would be $272,453,000, with Canada paying $270,976,000. ‘Treaty Opponents say cost to the United States would be $573,136,000. Ratification required a vote of two- thirds or 64 of the 96 senators. ‘i is Factor said. “They abused me foriwould be grievously injured by the| Dilli: Han Qe Ps pagel igi pe plore 12 days, kicked and beat me, and|seaway.
