able feat was heartily applauded.

Senator King insisted that he would
not vote to commit Congress to
project which would cost ultimately
from $44, 100000 to $60,000.000 without
its first having been considered by a
committee of the Senate. He asked
if Senator Wadsworth of the military
affairs committee had looked into the
power project and whether he was
willing to sponsor the Norris amend
ment. Senator Wadsworth replied
that the committee had not looked
into it.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, ex-
pressed the opinion that it would do
little good for congressional COM
mittee to spend it's time poring over

gineers 1t would be better to decide,
he said. whether it was wise to make
this expenditure at this time.

Senator Walsh of Montana and Sem
ator Dial of South Carolina both spoke
in favor of the adoption of the Nor
ris amendment. Senator Dial sug-
gested that the work could not be
carried on at an appreciable decrease
in the estimated cost. He said that
the project would serve as a model to
be shown visitors in Washington and
thereby promote water-power deyel-
opment generally. At this point SEN
