Washington, August :o-The Inter

shortly be completed by the promulga
ton OF the neines OF the Canadian
commissioners. the announcement Of
the Canadian personnel coming through
the British Foreign ONCE, as of the
appointment OF His Majesty, king
George. Is the hrst piece o. iEtcrna-
tional machinery for nirec: regotia-
tons and settlement of questions that
may arise between the :.nited States
and the Dominion OF Canada. 1t is a
modified Hague trlo nal confined to
the northern part OF the North Amer
lean continent. Through the powers
conferred upon this commission by
the treaty with Great Britain of 1909,
the representatives of the United
states and those of Canada may take
up questions relating to the develop
ment and use of the waterways be-
tween the two countries
To Fix Use of WATERS.
The primary work of the commission
is in relation TO the water boundary
not as to its location, but as to Its
uses. There are many plans fur the
use VI tUeSe international waters Other
than for navigation. but there has
been no competent authority for grant
ing permits and at the same time
properly protecting the rights OF the
people on the othe rside of the inter-
national lir-S.
There are pending schemes for de-
vcloping water power in the ST. Johns
River. which forms the international
boundary between Maine and New
Brunswick: for the development of
the Richelieu River. which the out
let of Lake Chaplain; for the improve.
ment of navigation und the develop
ment of water power n the ST Law
renee River between New York and
Ontario; for the sanitary canal around
Niagara Falls on the American side;
for the development OF water power
in the Rainy River between Minnesota
and Canada; also for development of
water power in the Lake of the Woods,
and uses OF :he--Yater ut the ST. Mary
River and the Milk River. in Montana
and Saskatchewan for irrigation pur-
poses. There are smaller projects.
but these larger schemes will furnish
ample work for the commission, and
If settled ample justification for the
creation of such an International court
OF arbitration.
The negotiation OF this waterwayj
treaty, creating the International Joint
Commission. is the first STEP iowa re 8
an enlarged control Wy the Dominion
OF Canada of her relations with the
United States. These questions relat-
ing to the water boundary are not new.

Washington. Q. c., August 2o.-Plans
Tor President Tafts coming trip
through the West and to the Pacific
Coast practically were completed to-
day. The Journey will be almost as
extensive as that taktn by the Presi-
dent on his famous Swing around the
circle In 1909, when he travelled more
than $4,000 miles and visited thirty
three States. He will break ground
Tor the Panama Canal Exposition at
San Francisco. make several score of
addresses. and attempt to scale the
$4,000 feet OF Mount Rainier's preclp-
itous slope.
According to the prescott arrange
ment. the President will be gone six
weeks. In that time IT is expected
that he VIII make close to 200 speeches,
from platforms from tho rear end OF
his private car and at other places
not on the regular schedule. Republi-
can leaders look upon the trip as the
most important politically that the
president has mapped out since ne en-
tered the White House. He will go
through all the Sites In the West in
which they recognize the domination of
the Progressive Republicans, who are
counted on to oppose his renomina ton
next year.
with adjournment of Congress prac-
ucaNy assured for this week, the Pres
ident feels that he can get three
weeks rest at Beverly and be in trim
then TO stand the admittedly hard grind
OF forty days on a private sar.
The Presidentp robably will leave
Beverly September II. returning East
about November l. He will go West
through Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska. COL
orado and Nevada to the coast Most
OF the big cities in these States, in
oiuding Dos Moines. Kansas City,
Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake. will be
visited. but the plans for the trip con-
template stops at scores of smaller
places as well. From California the
President Will go North to Portland
and Seattle. Three days are TO be-
spent In Washington State. and the
route eastward will allow him to stop
IN Idaho, Montana. the Dakotas and
Minnesota.

for years. but they had TO be handled
in the old way through the diplomatic
representative OF Great Britain, and
the negotiations had to be conducted
In the roundabout way of London to
Ottawa and back by the same route to
Washington. Such indirect negotia-
tons were in q measure responsible
for the dissatisfaction the Canadians
have manifested with the settlement
OF the Alaskan boundary and other
questions in controversy.
Direct Negotiations.
The International Joint Commission
provides for direct negotiations be-
tween Canada and the United States
on all questions relating to the water
boundary and opens the way for the
settlement OF all other questions that
may arise by the reference of these
questions to that commission. The
general arbitration treuties between
the United States and Great Britain
and France may fail OF ratification,
but In the creation of the Interna-
tional Joint Commission the beginning
has been made in the most practical
way on the questions tuoehing the re-
lations OF this country and it's nearest
neighbor, who is progressing alone
the same lines az hQre. with the same
kind OF people. who have ambitions
and the enterprise touching the de-
velopment of the greatest water power

United States have been appointed, and

Representative James A. Tawney. of
