WATERWAYS PACT BETWEEN CANADA AND U.3. 15 SIGNED St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project Is Officiaily Approved. REDEMPTION OF PROMISE POINTED TO BY HOOVER Treaty Subject to Ratification. Ocean-Going Ships Would Be Given Lake Pessage. ted Press | awaited treaty between the United States and Canada for the tre-| mendous St. Lawrence seaway and power project was signed this morning. Coincident with this action by Sec- retary of State Stimson and Minister ge of Canada, President Hoover | ded the acccmplishment in a| statement as “the redemption of a| promise which I made to the people of | the Midwest.” Subject to Ratification. The agreement, Which remains subd- ject to legislative ratification in_ both countries, calls for splitting in half t\:e; estimated $543,000,000 cost for a 2‘-1 | foot waterway for a 180-mlie stretch from the sea to all Canadian and American points on the Great Lakes. “Such a depth,” wrote the President, ocean shippirg of the world to our lake | of New York, Ohio, Michingan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Min- | ota i sposal of the 1,100,000 horsepower | which is expected to be realized on the | American side of the international sec- | tion is reserved for settlement by this country. In that connection, Mr. Hoover re- cently informed his rival for the presi: dency in November—Gov. Franklin D. Rosevelt of New York—that Federal| authorities would confer with those of the interested States to agree on de- tails once the treaty is finally effected. As to diversion of water from Lak Michigan upon the 9-foot waterway from Chicago to the Mississippi, the Fresident was assured by the War De- pariment that the treaty provides suffi- ciently for maintenance of that water- 11 Years in Controversy. The treaty question has been hang- ing fire for 11 years, and officials es-| timate that once the agreement is in} complete effect it will take probably 10 years to construct the waterway. During that time, Mr. Hoover said, “normal growth of traffic in the Nation | will far more than compensate for any | diversions from American railways and | other American port facilities.” i The treaty was signed in a brief cere- | mony at the State Department. | The Senate has directed that an in- | vestigation of the treaty be conducted between now and the opening of the/ December session of Congress. But| Chairman Borah of the Foreign Rela- | tions Committee specifically stated this | was not decided upon because any | suspicion attached to the treaty. 1 The document calls for two dams.
