Root, in Reply to Gouernor Cox,

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Evasion of
the issue by Governor James NJ. Cox.
Democratic standard-bearer, is charged
by Elihu Root, in his telegram to the
governor replying to his request to
correct" an alleged false" statement
in Mr.. Roots New York address Tues
day, regarding the Democratic candi-
dates stand on the League of Nations.
Mr.. Roots telegram follows:
II have received your telegram
dated yesterday. willingly would not
do you injustice, and I do not think
| have. You began your campaign
by an interview with the president,
and an authoritative statement that
you and he were in complete accord
upon the League of Nations.
Il cannot be mistaken about his pc
sition. Throughout the long struggle
in the senate he flatly refused to give
his assent to any reservation which
substantially changed the covenant he
brought back. He certainly has not
changed.
His very recent utterances show
that. If you have changed from that
complete accord with him, l have not
heard of it. Such a change is not
indicated by the vague and general
expressions OF your telegram saying
that you will accept reservations that
will clarity, that will be helpful, that
will reassure the American peopie,
that you would sit down with tbs.

MIDWEST COMMERCE
TOPIC AT WATERWAY
CONFERENCE HEARING

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 22.-Recail-
ing that at hearings of International
joint waterways commission hereto
fore held in cities of Canada and the
United States. representatives of ter
ritories visited have dealt chiefly with
the productivity of the various areas
and their ability-to furnish export ton
mage that would warrant a deep wat
erway from the Great Lakes to the
sea, John A. Russell. vice president
OF the Detroit board of commerce, to-
day gave the commission statistics to
show that the midwestern territory
was capable also of assimilating a cor
relative import tonnage
Industries of the states bordered by
the lakes, he said, were now almost
entirely dependent upon rail trans
portation for importation of raw ma,
terials. Without injury to the rail
roads. he believes, vessels operating
on the proposed waterway would with
out difficulty find return cargoes for
this region of between three and fou"
million tons annually tonnage
equal to the average one-way traffic
through the Panama canal.
Names Possible Imports.
Among the principal imports that
could be expected to move over the
waterway. Mr.. Russell said, were sug,
arbeets for the forty or more refin-
cries which are now idle nine months
of the year. hides, which now come
from the Argentine, South Africa, Aus
tralia and the far west to 35 tanneries
in Michigan; pulpwood for the paper
mills in Michigan and Wisconsin,
woods for the furniture industry in
Michigan, which come principally
from Yucatan and Mexico, and the ma
terials used in manufacture of acces-
sorry supplies for the automobile in
dustry.
Mr.. Russell also mentioned porce-
lain, great quantities of which are
used in the manufacture OF sanitary
pottery and spark plugs in Ohio
cities. The basis of this material, he
said, was imported principally from
England,
The west, Mr.. Russell told the com
mission, was not alarmed at the pros
ject of the waterway developing grea!
industrial centers in Canada with
which industries of this country would
have to compete. A development ia
| Canada, he said, would in the end
benefit business Of this country by
building up great market at our
= borders. .e.
