By the Associated Press President Hoover does mot intend to discuss the St. Lawrence waterway with Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt until the United States and Canada have agreed upon and ratified a treaty for the vast project In answer to a suggestion from the Democratic presidehtial nominee that they talk over the problem, Mr. Hoover telegraphed yesterday If the treaty is consummated and ratified, I shall be glad to consult with vou and other governors. I -have no doubt that we can make such recom- mendations to the Congress as will be helpful to them in solving the particular domestic problems relating to each State.” 4 The President added that in prelim- inary negotiations. although “interna- tional ties fall within the sole Jurisdiction of the Federal Government, b heless the representatives ap- pointed by you and leaders in other States primarily concerned have been consulted.” Mr. Hoover made no direct reference to Roosevelt’s expressed understanding that a difference over New York State's share of the cost of the project had, up to now, prevented complete accord “{e probably included that in the “all Gomestic _questions” phrase in this portion of his answer “The question of the disposal of the T of power which will result ks which border the State ke all domestic questions acter affecting the two Teserved by the proposed urely domestic action by Not Subject of Agreement. “This disposal is not the subject of international agreement,” Mr. Hoover continued. “If a treaty is concluded and is ratified by the Senate. then the dom questions which may arise must be settled through the action of both the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives in accordance with Federal and State law and in accord with the 1 t of all the States of the Union “You will realize that neither you nor 1 have authority to enter upon agree- in respect to these domestic questions.” For these reasons, the President said, not be necessary” for the New overnor to interrupt his forth- coming cruise by a visit to Washington.

Roosevelt made no immediate comment That Mr. Hoover agreed the watcrway had the makings of a political issue was at- tested by his consultation with Walter Newton, his secretarv. before the tele- gram was made public. I am fin hopes an agreement can| be reached between the Governments.” | Mr. Hoover continued, referring to the | suggestion for a conference. “But it has not yet been concluded and I shall | ke glad to have you advised when this occurs. Gov. Roosevelt, who is planning a | (s e with his sons this week, in his| telegram Saturday said he had been | informed by the power authority of New York State that the issues still unsettled in the negotiations with Canada had been referred to the Presi- | dent for final determination. He said the New York power au- thority had reported to him that “the question, failure to agree upon which | had prevented complete accord, is the proportion of the cost to be borne by the State of New York." Text of Telegram. The President's telegram follows in ull 1u I am in receipt of your telegram of July 9. I am glad to assure you that the negotiations between the United States and the Dominion of | Canada in respect- to the Great Lakes | waterway are making progress and that | v will not be necessary to interrupt your cruise by a visit to Washington. | These negotiations. as you know, involving a score of intricate problems, have been under way for nearly three years and have now reached a hopeful | aspect. While under our Constitution international _treaties fall within the sole jurisdiction of the Federal Gov- ernment, nevertheless the representa- tives appointed by you and leaders in other States primarily concerned have been consulted during the course of the negotiations. I am in hopes an agreement can be reached between the two governments, but it has not yet been conluded, and I shall be glad o have you advised when this occurs. Power Domestic Problem. “The question of the disposal of the | power which will result | from the works which border the State { of New York, like all domestic ques- tions of this character affecting the two countries, is reserved by the pro- posed treaty for purely domestic ac- tion by each country. This disposal is not the subject of international | agreement. If a treaty is concluded and is ratified by the Senate, then the domestic questions which may arise | must be settled through the action of | both the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives in accordance with Federal and State Jaw and in accord with the interest of all the States of the Union. | “You will realize that neither you nor I have authority to enter upon agreements in respect to these domestic questions, but if the treaty is consum- | mated and ratified I shall be glad to consult with you and other governors. T have no doubt that we can make such Yecommendations to the Congress as will be helpful to them in solving the particular domestic problems relating to each State. “Having ardently advocated for over 10 vears the great work of completing this shipway from Duluth and Chicago to the sea. I am glad to know that it will meet with your support.” ROOSEVELT IS SILENT. Declines Comment on Hoover's Reply Until He Studies It. HYDE PARK, N. Y, July 11 (#).—i Goyv. Franklin_D.
