ST. LAWRENCE IMPROVEMENT
; MATTER BEFORE THE HOUSE

Washington, Jan. ia bitter and
perhaps protracted fight in congress over
the proposed Improvement of the st.
Lawrence river to provide a channel for
ocean-going vessels to the Great Lakes
was forecast today by developments in
the house after the report of the inter-
rational joint commission, which inves-
tigated the project, had been transmitted
70 Speaker Gillett by President Hard
ing.
Instead Of Immediately referring the
report to committee, as is usually
done when communications are received
from the president, the speaker with
held reference and announced he would
determine at hearing on Wednesday
which of three committees should take
charge of it. There is a divergence OF
opinion as to whether the report should
so to the merchant marine, foreign af-
fairs or ways and means committee.
Proponents of Sthe project declared
they would oppose any efforts of the
merchant marine committee to haves the
report referred to it, because severai
members of the committee had express
ed opposition to the proposition. Once
referred to a committee lengthy hear
ings in an effort to obtain the opinions
of experts appear certain.
In the senate the report of the com
mission. which recommends that i'm.

Paris. Is CBy the A. P.)-An un-
satisfactoi. piece of news comes from
the United States, says the leading edi-
torial of the Temps today, dealing with
the resolution to be offered in the United
States senate by Senator Mediil McCor-
mick demanding Information from Euro
pean countries regarding their finances.
Senator McCormiclI's explanations says
the Temps. show that the resolution ap-
plies first of all to France.
MIR. Mccormick seems to intend 10
continue a campaign which means that
we are unlikely soon to see him again in
France, where hardly year ago he
found welcome so cordial and resound-
ing" the editorial continues.
The Temps finds that Senator McCor-
miclls resolution is the isolated initiative
Of one Of number Of similar efforts to
| influence public opinion in that regard.
The newspaper calls attention to A cable
despatch to the Morning Post of London
from the United States 70 the effect that
Secretary of Commerce Hoover. with
President Harding's approval. expects to
| bring up at the forthcoming conference
at Genoa the question Of military ex-
| penses. budget, deficits and European
debts to the United States. Are there
persons sheltering behind Mr. McCor-
mick's resolution seeking opportunities. to
| intimdate France?" the TEMPS asks TT
| is a game We would advise them to aban-
DON"
The Temps then deals at considerable
length with considerations intended to
dissuade the continuance OF this CAM
paign and at the same time to give the
matter general character. , These con-
siderations include attempt to explain
why the Temps says the European states
have exaggerated their expenses. 1t con-
tinues:
Firstly. some do not receive the sum:
due them for reDarations; secondly
| others have to pay reparations, thus de-
preciating their exchange; thirdly. mis-
trust IS reborn continually between Eu
ropean peoples as between victims of
shipwreck who dispute their scanty pro
visions. This mistrust obliges some t.
expend greatly for their army to guar
antee peace"
The Temps says the situation woult
never have arisen if financial soiidarit,
had been established among the allie,
and associated powers at once after til
