VAST POWER SCHEME

American engineers have prepared
plans for a scheme to develop several
million horsepower at Niagara.
The plans, il carried out, would in
volve almost total destruction Of Nj
agara as a scenic wonder.
Today the river is generating
total Of 100000 horsepower, of which
Canada's share by authorization OF
the International Commission which
regulates the use of power, is some
Ar, 900 horsepower. At present wat
err can only be taken from above the
Falls, the commission permitting the
diversion of 5000 cubic feet per sec
ond, of which the American share is
20 1000 and Canada's $4,000. Ontario.
however, supplies the American side
with a certain amount Of current.
The new Chippewa Canal will in
crease Canada's power under inter-
national arrangement by some 2l0.-
UVV horsepower "ulNu ~ - hoptt "
eventually increase to $4,000.
Meantime the Americans propose
that the $4,000 cubic feet diversion be
increased to 10000 and instead Of
getting the smaller portion as today,
that both Canada and abe U. s. go
fifty-ffty, taking 10000 each. But
that is not all the Americans pro-
pose. They hope eventually to get
100000 horsepower from above the
Falls. And this they would manufac-
ture by tunnelling Goat Island. BY
extending Goat Island out into the
rapids they could cut rock tunnels
which, from the upper end of their
base at the foot Of the Falls would
give drop of 200 feet on to the tur-
bine wheels. OF course this and an
equal diversion on our Ontario side
would greatly reduce the size of the
Falls.
But this is only part Of the scheme.
The sequel means goodbye TO the
Whirlpool and the magnificent rapids
in. the gorge below the Falls. The
American engineers actually propose
to dam the Niagara River at Fosters
Flats below the Whirlpool and about
five miles below the Falls. To any
one who has seen the mighty river
sweeping down towards Lake Ontario,
the very idea Of controlling IL seems
preposterous. The Niagara has a
minimum flow Of 100000 cubic feet
per second. From the Falls to Fos-
ter's Flats the river 6escends 102
feet, and for the first four and one
half miles the current is terrific, and
the shores sheer cliffs, hundreds Of
feet high. But Fosters Flats give
the necessary shore base on which
TO start the dam which, $50 feet wide
would be 40 high from it's base TO
the crest Of the spillway on top. The
daring engineers propose TO build
one-half the dam from Fosters Flats,
to pierce II with temporary sluice-
ways and then TO divert the whole
Niagara River and send il thru these
sluices, while they construct the bal
ance Of the dam in the dry bed Of
the diverted Niagara. Once the dam
was built the river would obviously
back up and rise in its confines until
about 80 feet Of the presentsbank at
the whirlpool wac submerged, and
the now madly rushing stretch Of
waters became nothing but one of the

FARMERS NEEDS
GIVEN ATTENTION
IN WASHINGTON
BY HARDEN COLFAX
Ueascd Wire to The Journal.)
CnnNrirht 1901

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Ways by
which the farmers of the country
can secure the money they need, and
find ready funds for planting and
cultivating their crops this year, are
giving serious concern to members of
congress, and officials of the govern
ment who are interested in the agri-
cultural situation as a whole. It is
recognized that a farming industry
has been without new money" not
only during the war, when all avail
able resources were devoted to war
purposes, but since the war, when a
gradual reimbursement of the invest
ment field has taken place under the
terms of the federal tax laws.
Senator Calder, of New York, is
made to the revenue law that will
exempt farm and home mortgages
from taxation, at least the small hold
ings in the hands of individuals. He
contends that this would open up a
new source of funds for the farmers,
and serve materially to increase the
growth of ample crops on the farms
this year.
II am opposed to all exemptions
from the federal income tax law
says Senator Calder. But the drift
of money from purchase of mort
cages and other securities of the
farmers has been so great, and is
continuing at such a rate, that
unless we forego our need for dwell
ings and agricultural revival until
must adopt temporary measures OF
relief. [ believe that the farmers
should have legislative relief that
would put a stop to the drain OF
money from their securities, and
provide the new money that is neces-
sary if the efficiency and productlV-
ity of the farming business is to be
fully restored to it's pre-war basis.
With the farming industry getting
back to the pre-war level, the feel
ing prevails among many OF the
farmers that other industries which
may still be in an inflated CONDITION,
or not fully restored to a normal
basis, are feeding at the expense
of agriculture, and are obtaining the
products of the farms with dollar

chasing value in buying their own

REMAIN FIRM ON
ZAP CONCESSIONS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-Califor-
MIA has determined the limit of her
concessions to the Japanese, and will
go no further, whatever the contents

tions maye be, Senator Phelan as
serted today.

state is willing that it be embodied
either in treaty or a federal statute,
Senator Phelan said. If the report
does not satisfy CALIFORNIA; position,
it will be strenuously opposed, he
added.
Senator Phelan outlined the atti-
tude of his state in the following
points:
1--Japanese now owning land may
retain their property, but will not
be permitted to acquire holdings in
the future.
Japanese who are American cit
liens may own land, but provision
must be made to prevent abuse of
this right. Senator Phelan claimed
California would not tolerate the
practice by which Japanese subjects
own land in the name of Japanese
children born in the United States.
He said California also intended to
prevent Japanese subjects from back
ing land companies organized in the
names of Japanese who acquired
American citizenship through war
service.
3-California will forbid the prac-
tice by which her farmers permit
Japanese to work lands on a part

4-California will insist in full
stoppage of Japanese immigration,
excepting business men, students and
similar classes.
5-California will oppose unquali-
fiedly the naturalization of Japanese
now resident in the state.
In CALIFORNIA; refusal to guaran-
tee future rights of Japanese now
living in the state is seen a conflict
with the settlement proposed by Am
bassadors Morris and Shidehara, ac'
cording to the best understanding OF
their recommendations
The state department, it is under
stood, considers that Japan has met
the United States half way" in agree
ing to bar all immigrants, but also
believes that this country should ac'
cord broader rights to the japanese
now settled in California.
1t is the state departments con-
tention that if immigration is wholly
stopped, the Japanese problem" will
in time adjust itself.

PREPARATION PACT
SEEN AS VICTORY
FOR u. S. IDEALS
Washington Pleased Over
Triumph at Paris but Be-
Iieves Indemnity Fixed at
Too High Figure
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The JournaD

Copyright, 1921
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Victo-
ries are sometimes belated but his
tory records them none the less. All
Washington is pleased over the tri-
umph at Paris of the American idea
of fixing a definite sum that Ger
many should pay as reparation for
war damages.
For months the American finan-
cial commissioners at Paris fought
for the fixing of a definite sum, but
both Prime Minister Lloyd George
and Premier Clemenceau were afraid
that any sum that might be fixed
would be disappointing to their peo-
pies and that they themselves would
be ewept out of political power.
President Wilson admitted before
the senate foreign relations commit
tee at the white house that the fail
ure to fix the indemnity to be paid
by Germany was IAN international
secret" and Senator Borah didn't
press him for a reply. But the truth
is the prime ministers of tho allied
countries had retained their political
power by promising the masses that
Germany would pay an enormous
war indemnity.
Aside from the historical aspects
of the agreement that has been
reached at Paris, the effect upon
American business, agricultural and
Industrial, was a subject of much
discussion here wherever the news
from Paris was carefully studied.
American cotton growers and wheat
growers and manufacturers who have
been clamoring for foreign markets,
have not been able to sell their
goods because European money had
deprecated in value. German mar
kets have been Of doubtful value be-
cause the worth of Germany money
has f1uctuated so much.
Germans Know Goal
With the fixing Of the indemnity,
the German people will have a def
mite goal. They will know exactly
the amount they are mortgaged and
what their opportunities will be to
rise above their Indebtedness.
Indeed. the far-reaching impor-
lance of the agreement at Paris of
the allies is not exaggerated here,
where most everybody believes the
fixing of the indemnity is the biggest
event that has happened since the
peace treaty itself was signed.

sion has been traced by economists

Not knowing how big a load they
