New York-Criticism of the pro-
posed deep sea waterway from the
Great Lakes through the st. Lawrence
River as impracticable, unsound and
injurious to the barge canal Of New
York State was massed by its OPP
ponents at a hearing before the Inter-
national Joint commission. Eastern
proponents of the project will place
their views before the commission,
which was appointed by the govern
ments of Canada and the United States
to investigate the feasibility Of the
plan.
Flecked among the arguments we're
several references to the expenditure
Of great sums of the United States to
improve waterways in another coun.
try, and several times opponents of
the project pictured the plight of the
investment in case of war between
Great Britain and America. One
speaker declared he could not see why
the United States Should start an.
ether Panama Canal in foreign coun-
try"
These remarks brought a reply from
the American chairman of the Inter.
national Commission. former Senator
Obadiah Gardner of Maine, as the ses.

Idea Originated in Congress.
Several times l have noted infer.
ences, some deliberately erroneous,
that this project'is an attempt on the
part of Canada to inveigle the United
States into building waterway for
Canada" he said. "This project orr.

are dreaming Of being ocean ports,'
naming Duluth and Chicago as two
of them. He predicted at least twenty
locks would have to be built on the
lakes. and pointed out the slow time
that the boats would make compared
to a trip to an Atlantic port. Also he
continued the argument of othe,
speakers that the route would be
closed half Of each year because Of
ice. fogs and other hazards.

The senate committee that has been
investigating the price OF coal last
week accidentally uncovered what
looks like a sensational scandal.
George ii. Gushing, general manager
Of the American Wholesale Coal Deal
ers' association, was being questioned
as to those who took profits in the
handling Of coal. He mentioned the
miners. the operators, the railroads,
the wholesale dealers. the retailers.
and then added, land officials OF the
United States government who got
into the coal business" Mr.. Gushing
tried to stop there, but the committee
was insistent and drew from him the
assertion that government officials,
taking advantage of advance informa-
ton on the fuel stringencies obtained
in their confidential positions, de-
clared themselves In on the coal-price
boosting and cleaned up" millions.
He told the committee of one In
stance In which government officials
cleared profit of $675.000 on the
sale OF $50 900 tons of coal. He stated
that he was offered a share amounting
10 over 100000 TO participate In the
deal but declined. There were many
other such instances. he told the com
mittee. He supplied the committee
with the name of the ringleader. who
is said TO be a doliar-a-year man. He
added that railroad officials and labor
leaders who had TO do with the han
ding of coal frequently managed TO
get "rakeoff."
The disgust with which the public
reads this sort Of thing Is heightened
by the information that graft prosecu-
tiOns probably cannot be Instituted
because the coal handled by the ring
was not sold to the government. The
senate committee planned TO make
public after full investigation, the
names OF all officials who have engaged
I'm coal deals. and the contempt with
which they will be regarded by their
fellow citizens will be some punish
ment.

from the National Coal associations

tee, was read. II included letter

dent OF the association. stating that

Presidentelect Hardlng's confer
ences at Marion with the best minds,
though by no means ended. seem al
ready to have resulted in the crystal
lizing of certain Of his policies into
definite form. OF course the two that
arouse the greatest public interest are
those relating to foreign affairs and
the League of Nations. and to the plan
for reorganlzlng the nations business
and establishing II on more econom-
ic basis.
In discussing an association of ma
lions, there Is no evidence that Mr..
Harding has converted to his own
views such irreconcilables as Senators
Borah and Reed, or even Mr.. Bryan.
whose invitation to Marion aroused
the ribald laughter of the paragraph
ers. But Mr.. Harding seems to have
brought his theories into form fit for
presentation to the world. According
TO what is said TO be authoritative In
formation, he believes the first ap-
proach TO the formation OF his "asso-
citation Of nations" should be to OBJ
tain the assent of the five leading ma
tons. the United States. Great Britain.
France. Italy and Japan, his theory
being that. once these nations have
Joined, the other nations will fall In
line. The basis Of this association Is
to he world court to deal with justi-
ciable questions.
Mr.. Harding holds that no associa.
tion OF nations can succeed without
the Endorsement of the leaders of pub
lie thought. in America and elsewhere,
and that these leaders must reach
agreement In the essentials, leaving
details to be settled later; that all
governing features must be eliminated
from the association, each nation re-
naming free 10 make Its own de-
cisions; that the agreement must be
specific enough to prevent the posi-
bility OF an offensive and defensive
military alliance of the FIVE great
powers, and the association Of ma
lions itself must place all nations on
an equal footing in the presentation
OF their views on matters of world
policy.

Despite the gloomy situation, the
prospects were said to be fairly
bright for early restoration of order.
One sign of weakening on the part Of
the Sim Feiners was the collapse Of
the railway strike against the carry

strike had been going on for seven
months and the operating forces OF
the railways had been so depleted by
dismssals that railway service was
gradually approaching the vanishing
