CALDER TERMS
CANAL PROJECT
BIG DETR||MENT
That Waterway
Would Aid Canada,
Bring in Cheap Goods.

Washington, April 1S.-The ST. Law
renceGreat Lakes waterway and power
project was criticized by Senator
Calder. of New York, a republican
member of the senate commerce com
mittee. as of more benefit to Canada
than the United States and designed to
increase wheat prices rather than to
provide more efficient transportation.
Among other arguments against the
project cited by Senator Calder in his
address before the senate were that it
would not be under American control
exclusively; that it would bring cheap
European manufacturers in closer COM
petition with American wares and that
it would cost 10 times the Suez canal
and entail the expenditure in one place
of the federal waterway development
fund which could be distributed more
widely to great national advantage.
Too Many Empty Cars Now
Citing reports giving statistics of
empty freight cars, Senator Calder de-
MED that transportation shortage
exists which makes the st. Lawrence
project necessary, adding:
NO, it is not transportation burr
under the saddle that is causing the
middlewest to gallop so madly. Price
per bushel and more transportation is
is the impelling motive. More cents
the slogan Of the wheat belt. We can
not log roll ourselves to a state of
maximum efficiency.
divorce the project from its ag-
gressive agrarian support and it col
lapses. ! concede that perhaps this
canal, if built, may carry wheat, but
whose wheat? The answer is unescap-
able-Canada
Canada Using U. S., He Holds
Senator Calder said Canada herself
would build the canal if the project was
regarded as feasible. He asked how
American wheat growers on land aver
aging S92 per acre in value could com
pete with Canadian land worth 80 cents
to SAB an acre.
Citing the tonnage argument of the
canal proponents, Senator Calder ask

PACT VIOLATION
OneConsolation toParis
Is That 1t Hits Policy
Of Lloyd George.

Paris, April IS BY The Associ-
ated Press. Premier Poincare as
sembled his cabinet Tuesday to con-
slider the attitude to be taken by
France in case Russia and Germany
purpose to maintain separate ar
rangement regarding the restoration
of Russia. 1t was decided to with
hold announcement Of th- .nlicy ten
tatively decided upon until receipt
from Genoa of the action taken at
the meeting there Tuesday of the
principal delegates called to consider
the treaty.
While number Of cabinet members
are absent from Paris, those present
were unanimous in regarding the pact
signed at Rapallo as violation of
the treaty Of Versailles. as well as the
conditions laid down at Cannes as II
basis for the Genoa conference.
Hits Prior French Lien
The clause in the treaty mutually
according most favored treatment is
regarded as in direct opposition to the
peace treaty. and the new pact also
was held to dispose of property in the
hands of Germany over which the rep
arations commission has a prior lien.
a Havas dispatch from Genoa says
the allies are drafting Il note to the
Germans and Russians, notifying them
it will be impossible for the Germans
and Russians to continue to partlci-
pate in the sessions Of the Russian
affairs commission of the conference
if they persist in compliance with the
Russo-German treaty.
Insist On Cancellation
A high official Of the government de-
clared Tuesday afternoon there was no
possibility Of continuing the discussion
at Genoa unless the Russo German
treaty were cancelled. Even if it were
annnlled. he declared, the moral effect
would remain of two of the parties to
the Genoa conference maneuvering on
the side to forestall the conferences
work.

and Germans in concluding their treaty

Revenue Provision Undecided

There is a division of opinion among

A Great Opportunity.

There is in prospect the establish
ment in North Carolina one of the
largest and finest medical colleges
and hospitals in the entire country
one that will take rank with
Johns Hopkins, Jefferson and Har-
ward, And this is to be made pos
sible by the generous gifts of the
Dukes, the Rockefeller Foundation
and our own States appropriations.
For some time the University
trustees have been considering the
establishment of a four-year-course
medical department. The need was
keenly realized. But it was also
realized that it would require a
huge sum of money. Last week
just as the trustees committee were
on the point of meeting in Raleigh
to further consider this matter, a
proposition was sumbitted by DR..
w. P. Few, of Trinity, to President
Chase, of the University, whereby
DIR. Few offered to turn over to the
State a million dollars for building,
and three millions for an endow-
ment, provided the State furnish a
similar amount-and with this
build "a great medical college for
ALL the state. The only string at
tached was that the college should
be built at Durham (not Trinity.
There would be no control by Trim
ity or any denominational college,
but absolute control would be vest
ed in the STATE, with the trustees
to be appointed by the Governor,
irrespective of college atfiliation.
In order to insure the maintaining
of the required scholastic standing,
the presidents of the University,
Wake Forest, Trinity and Davidson
would be members of the board, the
remainder, as stated, to be appoint
ed by the Governor. And, as stat
ed, it would not be on the Trinity
campus, or connected with Trinity,
but simply in Durham, probably in
connection with Watts hospital and
would be known as the North Caro-
lima Medical college.
The first report sent out last week
concerning the proposition was that
it was to be a joint affair between
the University and Trinity. This
was wrong; had it been the former,
the question of mixing State and
Church would have instantly arisen.
But since the plan is now under
stood, there is no kick or Objector--
in fact, such big men as President
Poteat and DR.. Paschal, of Wake
Forest, and other prominent men,
such as President Binford, of Gull
ford, heartily concurring in the
plan.
1t is a great opportunity for our
boys to receive a medical training
at home, and at the same time have
established in the center of popula-
ton a great clinical hospital where
hospital treatment can be received
practically without charge.
The Richmond County Alumni
association of the University, in an
nual session Wednesday night, ap-
proved enthusiastically the PROPOSE
ton, and so wired Presidents Chase,
Few and Governor Morrison.
