Mjor Politicwl Conflict Looms In New Project Roosevelt Stands for New York State Control; Hoo- ver Not Committed WASHINGTON, July 22.-(AP- One of the major political conflicts, of the coming campaign between President Hoover and Governor Roosevelt may develop over the con- summation of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway treaty. While the treaty has been signed by the United States and Canada. it will not become effective until rati- fied by the United States Senate and the Canadian parliament. Seaway Primary Object As designed in the treaty, the principal function of the canal is to providpthe seaway. While this pur- pose will necessarily remain primary, to New York state and to Governor Roosevelt the matter of waterpower developed in a very important con- sideration. Two .decades ago the Democratic party in New York advanced as a political issue the idea of public de- partment of the water power re- sources. Republicans conceded that the power belonged to-the people, but favored lease of the power sites for private development. Former Governor Smith brought the fight to a head, and Governor Roosevelt carried it to success, de- claring it the opinion of New York that the state should own and de- velop the power. Expected to Be Issue Whether Congressional action can in any way negate that opinion is not known, but Governor Roosevelt is expected to; make an issue of the matter beyond the bounds"of New York state. The question of states' rights a o centers. The attitude of President Hoover has not been dis- closed. New York, insisting on her right to the power, has denied the Federal claims to the navigational rights. Governor Roosevelt, the state pow- er authority and other interested groups have altered their plans and called upon the Federal government to determine what New York's share of the seaway should be, based on the cost of the power plant. New York's claim to the water- powerhnever has received a ruling from the U. S. Supreme ?Fourt, which may be necessary. Some 2,000,000 horsepower is involved, half for On- tario and half for New York.

Chicago Opposes Plan It is generally realized throughout S atu rd ay the country that the opposition to the project will come, in the United States, from.New York state and the city of Chicago.

P'ortage Lake Have Had Small Ocean Trade Previous to this time, Dean Sadler pointed out, there have been small ocean-going vessels on the Great Lakes, but they have een limited in size to 250 feet, the largest length which can pass through the old Wel- land canal. Such trade, mainly in Norwegian and Swedish ships, has not been of particular economic ad- vantage because of the small size of the vessels, but with the opening of the St. Lawrence to boats of greater tonnage, he expressed the opinion that no doubt business could be car- ried on much more economically. "The real trade of the world," Dean Sadler asserted, "is carried on in vessels on an average of from 5,000 to 8,000 tons. And these will be able to come through to lake ports. There is absolutely no thought of mam- moth passenger liners using this service." Minimizes Local Losses Dean Sadler minimized the loss which might occur in New York or other present shipping centers. "The production and absorbing capacity of the middle west area is enormous. There is no question but that open- ing it to direct communication with the rest of the world will be econom- ically advarntageous. New York- and Montreal will always.be big shipping ports, and when we consider that the main financing of the two countries -is done in these two cities, the gain accruing them from financing a busy Middle-West will offset the small re- duction in shipping reVenue." He also pointed out that the exist- ing lake traffic will go on as usual and be taken care of in the specially- designed ships as at present. It is probable that. ocean-going vessels Stressing the economical aspect of the project, ,DeDan Sadler declar'ed that the cost of transportation is so important to any trade that any- thing done to reduce it constitutes an advantage. The present water- way' project will save costs of re- handling at coast ports and addi- tional costs of railway transporta- tion to the coast. Touching briefly on two other aspects, he intimated that the waterway should be con- sidered first, and that the power is- sue is secondary. He also said that as far as the engineering is con- cerned, the plans are quite feasible and should- present no difficulties. "The country as a whole will bene- fit from a prosperous Middle-West," he encluded. "And the history of the world has shown that whenever adequate facilities are supplied, ships will take advantage of them." Detroit and California Veterans Refused Food WASHINGTON, July 22.-(AP)- Who should have the food was be- ginning today to bother the capital's bonus marchers. Walter W. Waters, elected com- mander-in-chief of the chartered bonus . expeditionary forces, had charge of the commissary. But he issued orders that no supplies should be issued to groups led by John Pace of'Detroit or Roy W. Robertson of California. Pace and Robertson had not found anything they could do about it. All three leaders turned down an- other invitation by Pelham D. Glass- ford, .superintendent of police, to leave town. Waterway Will Benefit Toledo Most, Is, Claim Toledo, rather than Detroit, will benefit most by the St. Lawrence waterway, according to George San- denburgh, Ann Arbor city engineer. "Toledo is," Sandenburgh said in an interview yesterday, "more favor- ably situated than Detroit. It has a better harbor than either Cleve- land or Detroit and is closer to the regions affectod than either of the other two cities. Thus the railroad traffic westward would be handled by lines running through Ohio, such as the N. Y. C. and Wabash." Sandenburgh said that Detroit would benefit materially and conse- quently the whole 1Michigan area in- cluding Ann Arbor. A boom in De- troit, he said, would be radiated for several hundred miles, helping farm- ers, dairy men and business men. The Michigan Central railroad, Sandenburgh indicated, would be benefited by the waterway through shipments to the lake ports but would lose a certain portion of its foreign freight. The New York Central lines in the. Middle-West would profit, he said, but this would be offset by a loss in freight on the eastern lines. The belief that goods would be shipped by water to Toledo or De- trbit ' and then to Chicago by rail he declared fallacious, pointing out that although the water route through the Straits of Mackinac was about five hundred miles longer, the cost of unloading' and reloading would make the cost of rail shipment practically prohibitive. if 0 MAJEST IC - Starting Today 25c to 2 P.M.
