Editorial Comment
Canada Holds Back
Minneapolis Journal)

Ottawa asks for further delay in negotiating an
agreement with the United States to build the St.
Lawrence Seaway.
This is the disappointing answer to the notifica-
ton last November from the international engineer
ing commission. headed by Secretary Hoover. that
after careful survey it found the project both prac-
ticable and highly desirable.
The reason given in the Canadian note is that
the Dominion's advisory committee must have time
to study the Hoover report since it revealed differ
cnccs Of opinion on important phases of the pro-
posed development"
Canada is not to be blamed, of course, for making
completely sure Of her ground before she announces
herself ready to make treaty with us for compile
ton of the Seaway. But her advisory committee
has already had some eight months in which to
study the engineers report and findings, and it
ought not to take much longer to clear away her
doubts, if they really rest on technical grounds.
But the probability is that the political situation
is not just favorable for the Mackenzie Govern:
ment to enter upon SO important an undertaking.
This is particularly true because holds power by
an extremely narrow margin, and because the
Quebec Liberals form large fraction of it's
support.
Montreal, like New York. is inclined to look as
kance at project that threatens its own supremacy
as port. The Quebec metropolis wants the east
bound grain of Canada forced to undergo trans
shipment at its own piers, just as Buffalo and New
York jealousy guard their present privilege Of
levying heavy tribute on American grain shipments.
Montreal fears that the ocean ships to and from the
inland ports may 60 sailing by. if the Seaway is
built.
But the larger vision will prevail in Canada as in
the United States. The Prairie Provinces, like the
Middle West. will insist on opening the ways for
ocean-going ships to reach the Head Of the Lakes.
The New York opposition has been driven into cor
ner. and the Montreal opposition will fare no better
The recent declaration Of the New England Coua-
Gil for completion of the Seaway was based partly
on selfish consideration Of what would do for the
six States Of New England but still more on broader
consideration of what it would do for the pent-u2
Middle West and for the - s3nlek
We shall yet see similar ID IT Ivelop in East
ern Canada. The favorable political moment cannot
be long delayed for starting the negotiation Of the
agreement which will distribute such tremendous
benefits on both sides of the boundary line.

The longer the duration Of the
complaint, the more difficult to pro-
vide adequate relief. The child who
begins to stammer early in life be-
cause Of some state Of fear, depres-
sion or struggle. and who is not re-
lieved before the sixteenth year, is
likely to constitute q much more diff

who is treated carly Many parents
comfort themselves with the notion
that the child will outgrow its COM

constitute an enormous strain on the

Of the assistance it should rightly

Practically all specialists are now
agreed that the attempt to cure
stammering in installations in which
treatment follows q definite routine
for all, including speech exercises,
gymnastic training, rest. and similar
methods are not as satisfactory as
those in which each patient is stud

The routine methods have value
when it is found that the difficulty
is largely one of training. Unfor-

instances represent Psychological
problems that can be unraveled only

Abandon Air Hops? Hardly.

The suggestion has been made that tranSOceanic
hops, such those made by Smith and Brontc and
by Lindbergh, should be abandoned Because of the
element of risk involved. prominent men who would
be likely to sponsor future flights have been asked
to withhold their support.
The result of the Dole races, as it now stands
would seemingly indicate there was something to
this suggestion. Seven flyers were missing, of
them woman. Whether they will be found not
still remains doubtful, although every effort is being
made to them and every invention is being
used to ascertain their location. !.
1t has been argued that airpanes, at present, are
not fitted for such long hops The successful flights
have been pictured as more the result Of fate and
luck than Of capacity to make the trips And stacked
up against the successes the apparent failures
among them the flight Of Nmgesser and Coli
But regardless of the merits of planes nowadays
it is doubtful if the long trips will be abandoned
There are round-the-world flights being planned
and one has already started. There is race to
Tokyo scheduled for the near future-and Tokyo is
nearly twice as far as Hawaii or Europe

Who Said We Wanted You, Bill?


Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago dc
fender of Americanism in his own little puddle has
issued statement saying he will not be can
didate for president
To most of us, this comes even more of sur
prise than Mr. Coolidge's statement There had been
sundry talk about whether or not Mr. Coolidge
planned to seek third term. Many seemed to
think he would So his statement proved bomb
shell.
But even more of bombshell was Mr. Thompson's
statement, for we didn't know Big Bill had
been touted for that office. 1t may be that out in
North Dakota means Of communication not
as good as they are in the more thickly-populatcd
cast. Maybe Mr.. Thompson's friends weren't good
enough publicity agents. But at any rate you would
have to- search a long time before you could find
anyone who had heard even the slightest pop" to
indicate that the estimable Mr.. Thompson had been
doomed.
1t is true that Mr.. Thompson would bring to the
national conventions something new. There would
be no staidness. peace quiet If he invaded the
sanctum of the Republicans. With his varied bag of
tricks he would certainly introduce the element Of
novelty into the deliberations of the delegates.
That attack on King George, for example. Thou
sands of US benighted souls who knew nothing
about the daboica attack the king planned to
launch on America until Bill squelched him, could
learn all the facts. Mr. Thompson could very likely
tell that the Canadians have cannon, machine
guns, poison gas and bombing planes hidden at all
tho strategic points the border from North
Dakota. He could very likely explain to US that
the reason we have hail storms is because King
George starts them up in Canada And he would
have other stories to tell the people in other states.
Yes, it is too bad that Mr. Thompson isn't going
to be candidate. There must be somebody who
likes him, he wouldn't have been elected mayor
of Chicago. But who wants him out here, it is
hard to say. If there is anybody planning Thomp-
son boom, far he has kept himself securely out
of sight.
