BY CHARLES LYNCH.

Canada is not as anxious as the
United States over the development of
the st. Lawrence deep waterway and 1t
Is the general opinion in political cir
cleS that many months. possible two or
three years, will pass before the Situa-
tion will permit Of an agreement with
the United States.
Members of Parliament and Senators
have been carefully reading the cor
respondence with Washington and were
more eager to secure information than
impart their views. In general there
remains the predominant sentiment
that Canada go slow in entering into
any permanent engagement with the
neighboring republic.
Joint Development Opposed,
Quebec members six months ago were
almost a unit in their hostility to any
proposal for joint development, On
tario members are not committing them
selves. but invariably view the proposal
with suspicion. Conservative common
err from Ontario particularly feel the
scheme as outlined would retard On
tario'S development. entangle Canada
with the United States, and would carry
no guaranty against unfair water di-
version by Illinois or power diversion by
New York State. The scheme as pre-
sented will. no doubt. be fought bitter
ly by Ontario conservatives as unfair,
dangerous and discriminatory.
As q matter of fact, the huge pro-
posal will have To stand in status quo
until the relative Jurisdiction of On

Independence would be endangered
