100000 on the st. Lawrence from the
sea to Montreal. Is it not selfish to
oppose the continuance of the chan
mel westward from Montreal. 1t was
federal money that was spent.
Montreal is the head of navigation,
1t is the natural head. you would
make an artificial condition" said Mr..
Iaschereau. When the first plans
were made with reference to the St.
Lawrence they had in mind Montreal
as the head of navigation. 1t is not
selfish to consider it so"
HesitateS Over Joint Control.
Mr.. Hoover suggests a joint fnanc-
ing of the scheme. Would Quebec be
opposed to that?"
That would mean joint control.
Canada should look very deeply into
the question as to whether she is pre-
pared to see international or joint con
troll over her great waterways. 1t
would have very far-reaching effect.
The people of Toronto and Ontario
must not look at our attitude as
hostile one, but, after all, charity be-
gins at home, and after the immense
amount spent on the port of Montreal,
into any scheme that would defeat
what our public men had in sight dur
ing the last so years in the develop
ment of Montreal. Montreal is not
only an asset to this province, but to
all of Canada. During the past year
Montreal has been the biggest grain
handling port in the world"
But if the St Lawrence were
deepened, would not that bring more
grain from the head Of the lakes and
divert it from Buffalo?"
Experts Advice Needed.
Yes, but there are certain trade
conditions which must be taken into
consideration by railway experts, and
am not an expert"
Would you be willing for Canada
to enter into negotiations with the
United States as to the development
of power and navigation"
That is a federal matter and must
be dealt with by Ottawa. I do not
think they would do it without our
consent, and in order to give that con-
sent we would require to know what
the plan Is. We are in favor of any
thing that will help to develop
Canada
Would you have any objection to
the two countries arranging for the
early construction of power dams
across the international section of the
ST. Lawrence?"
1--WE have no objection where there
is joint ownership to discuss the terms
Of the agreement. They cannot de-
velop it without us and we cannot
develop it without them"

Reverting to the St. Lawrence ques-

its control must be kept in Canada.
The United States would not let us
secure control of the Mississippi or the
Hudson,and if they provide capital for
the st. Lawrence they would not be
satisfied unless they had some con-
troll of the St. Lawrence. So far as
Quebec is concerned, we are opposed

many of them not being accustomed
to the ways Of large cities naturally
fell into the hands Of the law and their
short comings made it hard on the
good and the bad colored people alike.
1t is really a serious thing for the
white Republican speakers to attempt
to make the white and colored people
believe that the colored people will
rush into this city by wholesale.
The co1ored leaders Of the race in
this city should sanely advise the col
ored people that it will or would be
much better for them to come to this
city in smaller numbers, with no brass
bands to herald their coming and that
would enable them to secure some
thing to do much more easily The
colored people and their white lead
ers should not herald it to the world
that there are almost three hundred
thousand colored people in this city
and with the one hundred and fifty
two thousand who are getting ready to
come there will soon be FIVE hundred
thousand colored people residing in
Chicago.
This is one Of the widest wild cat
statements that has ever been dished
up; at no time in this city has there
been such a large number of colored
people; at no time has there been over
one hundred and seventy-hve thousand
colored people in this city and thou
sand years from now the whites nc
doubt will still out number colored
people in Chicago.
In the mean time whites and the
colored must work hard to make Chi.
cago in every way the best, the great
est and the most beautiful city or
earth.

At all of the elections held in this
city, important or unimportant, the
leaders of both sides Of the political
game always strive some way or other,
TO stir the white and the colored peo-
pie up over the race question. The So
called co1ored leaders are past mas
ters in that same art and really they
outdo the white political leaders in
that respect.
It always happens that just as soon
as the elections get under good head
wav. some one will start up the hew
and crv "that the whites are going
to run all the colored people out OF
town or that the colored people are
planning on driving all the whites into
Lake Michigan" The white daily
newspapers start their race prejudice
mud batteries to working overtime
and they frighten the people into feel
ing or believing that there might be
some truth in the wild statements ap-
pearing in the newspapers pertaining
10 the unfriendly relations existing be-
tween the white and colored people in
this city.
Some of the cold and selfish white
politicians contend shat it would be
lust the thing if race riot would
break out in this city just before the
election for that would be the means
Of lining up all the whites on one side
Of the political fence and all the col
ored voters on the other side OF the
same fence, and in that case white
person could be elected mayor OF Chi
caeo without the aid of the colored
voters.
