WATERWAY ACCORD
HOPED FOR BY U. S.
Canada's Consent to st.
Lawrence Project Would
Give Aid to JobIess.

BY the Associated Press.
State Department officials are hope
full of a definite decision this month
on the st. Lawrence waterway, long .
subject of negotiations between the
United States and Canada.
Active agitation for an open road
for ships from the Great Lakes to the
Atlantic has continued for more than
a generation and the general belief
in the Capital is that the Washington
and Ottawa governments will shortly
reach a conclusive agreement on the
problem.
Prime Minister Bennett of Canada,
in reply to a formal inquiry by the
United States some time ago as to
whether Canada was prepared to pro-
coed with the negotiations on the prof.
ect, set November as the time when
he would be able to give the matter
his attention. The meeting in London
of the British Imperial Conference and
the aftermath of the Canadian cleo
lions, which swept him into Office, pre-
vented an immediate consideration OF
the question by the prime minister.
Would Aid Jobless.
Deeply interested in the project as
o prospective scheme for the relief of
Unemployment. In DOM the UnlCeu
States and Canada, President Hoover
is devoting considerable attention to
the possibility of immediate resumption
of negotiations The next step for the
President. in the event the Canadian
government agrees to a joint commits
sion to settle the two important ques-
lions remaining open on the project.
Is the designation of the American
members of the commission.
The appointment awaits only
Canada's approval of this method OF
Grating q treaty between the two
countries to embody the terms under
which construction could be begun and
the project made reality. Methods
of financing and q technical question
on dam construction are the two main
points to be settled. The belief Is that
the American Government would better
prefer q commission of three or five
members from each country.
Personnel for u. s.
The American section probably would
include some high ranking Army
engineer, possibly Mai Gen. Lyle
Brown, chief Of engineers. or one OF
his immediate subordinates. In addi-
ton. It Is considered likely an Assistant
Secretary Of State, probably William Il.

The President has been interested In
the project ever since he was Secretary
of Commerce. He served as chairman
of the st. Lawrence Commission OF the
United States, appointed by former
President Coolidge to push the prof.
ect. The attitude of the Chief Execu-
tive now is that to launch the under
taking would furnish large unemploy-
ment relief and bring general economic
benefit.
The cost Of the enterprise has been
estimated at some $275,000,0 900, includ-
ing installation of equipment to pro-
