HERALD THE FIRST MOVE Several years ago, a joint commis- sion of American and Canadian en- gineers and politicians recommended the construction of the Great Lakes- St. Lawrence waterway to the domin-: ion and the national governments as an inland waterway improvement beneficial for both. Last November, another board of experts pronounced the New York ship canal waterway, which has been more or less irration- ally support ed as a rival route to the St. Lawrence, im-ractical from an economic standpoint. It is not surprising then that the Hoover commission, investigating this problem, finds the St. Lawrence route to be the "only logical and econoni- cally sound route to the sea for the great Middle West." However, the re- port does more than recommend the construction of this waterway and the development of the power facilities- under appropriate agencies. As the first move, Secretary Hoover asks that negotiations be entered into with Canada in an endeavor to arrive at an, agreement on both the canal and water power development. With the inclusion of this definite recommendation for action backed up by arguments for the canal, it seems probable that this report will secure more satisfying results than its pre- decessor in 1923. Without Congress taking any action, the President, who is known to be favorable to the pro- ject, could direct the state depart- ment to open negotiations with the Canadian government. Complications for the expected par- leys have been seen by some observ- ers in the "Great Lakes water steal", by Chicago. It may be properly as-, sumed that Canada will be loath to' approve any waterway plan while the present case remains in question. The1 final agreement will probably have to. recognize this situation as well as the relation of New York state to thet project., Attack upon three unnamed judges of the Detroit recorder's court as a triumvirate made up of "one lazy psycopath" and "two political favor- ites of the underworld" by August Vollmer, chief of police of Berkely,; California, seems to have brought no little criticism of that investigator of law enforcement in Detroit. The principal objection to his report con- cerns his failure to mention specific men, and his departure from the cityI just after he issued the statement, also brought dissatisfaction. For these indiscretions or unfortunate incidents, whichever they may be, he has been roundly scored by the editorial writ- ers of Detroit newspapers. Whatever justification the criticism may possess, however, it is hoped that the leaders of public opinion will not close the incident with them. If the charges made are sound, the ap- propriate action should be insisted upon; if they are false, their falsity should be established in justice to all the judges on the Detroit municipal, bench. If the newspaper which praises its own former investigation of incompetent judges really regards its attitude as a criterion, it will not allow this opportunity to escape it. THE NEW FORESTRY SCHOOL If the legislature acts favorably, the University will have, in the fall of 1927, a new professional school, the school of forestry. A provisional dean has been chosen, and in view of the previous liberality of the state legis- lature, there is every indication that another college, to rank with the old- er professional schools on the campus. will be established here. Leadership in the field of forestry will not be a new experience for Michigan, for ever since Filibert Roth established the department here, it has held a place of recognized superi- ority. Now it probably will be among the first to be elevated to the promi- nence of a separate .college, and the pre-eminence of the study of forestry, in the state that once had the largest amount of standing timber, will be maintained. It is an altogether worthwhile pro- ject-this new forestry school-,and one which should be supported by every Michigan man. Reforestation is one of our great national problems; a state university should be the first to train men to face it.

He has ordered the books of the state audited and the re- sults published, not only that the peo- ple of the state may know the condi- tion of the government at present, but also that he may know against whatf he has to fight and the uphill course that he must take. It is wise that such a course bef taken with the government of this state, and especially in relation to theI powers of spending money. Just as the stockholders of a company have access at all times to the books of their company, so the citizens of a state should have access to its rec-l ords. Too many times have. the body politic of states of the Union been left holding the bag after a wild orgy of secret spending on the part of state officials. Graft, secret funds and dis- bursements have shaken the faith of the state of Michigan and this policy of open spending and contracting should do much to encourage free and I easy intercourse between the statej and its people. This co-operation would do much to make this state one of the foremost political progressivef Ir 1' I A WISE CHOICE With the announcement that Ann Arbor has been chosen as the site for the new $500,000 state tuberculosis sanatorium comes also the realization of the vastness and magnitude of the great hospital unit which has grown up, almost unnoticed, and which bids fair to vie with the University itself in national reputation.
