Congressman STEVENSON had a con-
ference with the state department Of
llcials. recently, relative to the ques-
ton of whether the department Of
the Tawney International joint COM
mission has jurisdiction over contro-
versies about the operation of the
dams on the Canadian side of the
Lake of the Woods. The settlers con-
tend that their lands are flooded at
certain times, and the navigation in
terests also complain that, at times,
navigation is seriously affected by
the lowering of the lake level. Fish
ermen also have complained about
the hampering of the industry. Mr..
STEVENSON will present these COM
plants to the state department for

sent to the Tawney commission if the
department has no jurisdiction. In
a statement issued a short time ago
Mr.. Tawney said the Lake of the
Woods controversy is one his COM
mission would be called on to set
