FOREIGN BOND LIST

Dollar Loans, Led by German

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 28.-Foreign dollar
bonds, led by the German group, ad-
issues were irregular and extremely in
active. taking their cue from the stock
market. Volume was not particularly
heavy, but owing to the activity in for
eignS 1t showed a considerable advance
over Mondays business.
German 5l2s and German Repara-
lions rs held the markets interest at
the opening with jumps of points
Later the gains were extended and the
improvement spread to German Cen
trail Bank issues, which gained to 6
points; German industrials, up 3 and
points: municipals, up 2 to points,
and public utilities, also sharply higher
Offerings We're scarce at the start, but
the advance brought out more bonds.
These might have served to depress
prices again, but bidders also became
more active.
There was nothing in particular in
the European news to account for. the
strength. Hopeful aspects of the sit
uation were the evidence of new Eu-
ropean cooperation in the help being
given Germany in her banking difficult
ties and the 100000. 900 credit given
the Bank of England by the Bank OF
France, and the strength OF continental
markets. Other European issues to i'm
prove included Austrian rs, Italy rs,
Greek 6s and those of the Scandinavian
countries. Buying of Dawes operations

trade figures and first half year en-

will send products. such as rubber,
which will be admitted because there is
no rubber produced in the United States
and the provision is rendered map
plicabla in that event.
Before it drafts regulations to carry
out the statute, the Treasury must
decide what sort of policy is to be fol-
lowed. That is. whether the provisions
are to be literally or rigidly CONSTRUED
and what sort of proof it will demand
before admitting cargoes that might
have had their origin in districts where
it is known that types of forced labor
are used. In other words. 1t appears
that the Treasury must determine in
advance whether it will lay down regu-
lations that consider all consieuments
from suspected" areas as having been
the product wholly or in part of forced
labor, or whether it will consider them
free of faint until challenged.

CANADA'S ANSWER !.

ST. Lawrence Project Ready
to Start as u. S. Hopes
- -
for Approval.

BY the Associated Press. ~
The st. Lawrence waterway project
has come again under active diplomatic
negotiations between Canada and the
United States.
THE Ottawa government is expected
shortly to- reply to the American note
Of last September inquiring the atti-
t1de Of the administration of Prime
Minister Bennette to the proposed en-
terprise. The impending arrival in
Washington of Mat w. D. Herridge,
brother-in-law and close adviser OF the
premier, is being looked forward to by
American. officials as presagtng 1mpor-
tai1t developments on the long-stand-
ing problem between the two countries.
y, Approval Anticipated.
Maj. Herridge was appointed Cana
dian Minister to washington after the
was considered by officials here to be
possible even that the Minister might
bring with him q formal note giving
the premier's views on the project.
:; While no action can be taken on the
uroject until Canada indicates its ap-
prpval for the enterprise to go for
ward, the American Government has
been basing all of its considerations
and discussions on the project on the
dSSuInpIlOIl LIldJ NdLldud WOuA0 aP
prove.
The approximate cost Of the project,
varying according to the type Of In
stallatiors, would be about 4400, ,000,-
600 and would, in addition to its nav
tgation potehtialitieS, develop some a.
100000 horsepower through hydro
electric plants.
Talked 100 Years Ago.
State Department records show that
the question of affording deep chan
mel for the St. Lawrence first was dis
cussed 100 years ago by navigation ey-
pertS who foresaw the eventual devel-
opment of the Western parts of the
United States and Canada. In the in
tervening period, the question gradually
has become one Of prime Importance
between the neighboring governments.
The international Joint Commission,
private engineers and State surveys Of
the project have brought the project to
the point where only Canada's approval
is necessary to have the enterprise put
under way.
