CANADA HOLDS UP
ST. LAWRENCE PACT
Failure of Present Waterway Pro.
gram Delays Negotiations,
Stimson Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Negotiations of a treaty with Can
ada for st. Lawrence River seaway
was said today by Secretary Of State
StimSon to have been delayed through
failure of the Canadian Minister thus
far to present a program setting forth
his country's desires.
The Secretary said the negotiations
have not been abandoned despite the
delay. The American Government is
ready to go ahead with them at any
time, he added.
Several weeks ago the Canadian and
American Governments simultaneously
announced that negotiations looking to
formulation Of q treaty, under which
the navigation channel from the At
lantic to the Great Lakes would be
built, would be begun Immediately"
1t was agreed the discussions should
be held through the regular diplomatic
channels, rather than a special COM
mission, the United States having
yielded on this point as a result of
its desire to get the long delayed prof.
ect under way.
While the Canadian Minister, vii
liam D. Herridge, had a preliminary
discussion of the matter with Under
secretary Castle shortly afterward,
State Department officials assert the
actual negotiations have yet to begin.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government
has refused request from New York
State that its interests in water power
to be developed in connection with the
seaway be specifically defined in ad-
vance of the negotiations with Canada.

lively perfect or something which
touches the innermost chord of
memory has been reached.
It would be hard to say when
more impressive concert has taken
place in this city This choir, which
evokes images of the old clustered
monastic days, and sings music
which otherwise might be swallowed
I'D in the archives of lost art, is
something which one should def
nitely be heard. 1t has reached not
only a point where the voices pre-
sent as varied a tonal picture as
an orchestra Of mellowed instru-
ments, but 1t sings so definitely as a
single unit that the sometime curse
of personality which so often is the
fault of a choir is In no way EVIL
dent
Last night, for instance, the only
solos to be heard were woven in TO
the whole musical texture with skill
that seemed almost superhuman.
The lone voice, which scared high
and clear and as vibrant as a bell
in the Dickinson I'm Joseph'S Lovely
Garden" was framed by a back
ground of shading which was more
a part of it than a mere super
fetal support. The many choir
masters present in the audience
must have been struck by DR.. Will
liamson'S ability to blend the one
into the whole. Those who would
attend certain church services often
are half frightened away by the
sudden screaming of lone soprano,
high on her vocal balcony, who has
torn away from the choir as whole
and is torturing the air with that
what must be unfortunately called
the very essence of unholy per-
sonalism.
DR.. WilliamSon's choir is a choir
IN the very deepest sense. 1t Is
such a one as makes chorale music
something to be venerated as we'll
as stimulating merely to listen to.
One feels the need for more of
this in the churches of today, and
the fact that last nights audience
found 1t so stirring is an indication
that many 1--WE hope) will follow In
the wake of this splendid group
which has been made possible by the
continued and continuous support of
Mrs H. E. Talbot, who was present
at the concert and who must have
felt the gratitude of all those
present.
The program offered was replete
with harmonies of the past. It in
cluded, too. the first performance of
"Methinks Hear the Full Celestial
Choir" written by DIR. william
Crotch. and a new chorale by Healy
william, "A Clear Midnight" as
well as an impressive rehearing, by

A Colonial Office

President Hoover is said to be considering the idea
of colonial bureau to handle all our foreign posses
sions. That is good idea Doubtless he will have it
in mind when he sails on his Caribbean tour this
week.
Most citizens probably assume that the United
States already has colonial Office. The need for
Capitalization and coordination is obvious especially
in a highly specialized activity such as colonial ad-
ministration Why, then, have we gone on with the
present inefficient system?
There two reasons.
The first is a matter of hypocrisy. We can not
have colonial Office without admitting that we have
an empire We don't like to admit that. We like
TO assume that We still republic, with no i'm
peria ambitions desire to rule other peoples
We like to think of the Declaration of Independ-
ence-and forget that its application to the Philip
pines and Porto Rico would mean independence for
these subject peoples. A colonial Office would mean
that have colonies and object to calling them
colonies
A colony implies alien rule and alien exploitation
Imperialism. We want to forget that we have come
TO rank with Great Britain as the largest of imperial
istic powers.
The second reason we have central colonial
bureau is that the various governmental departments
which now control different colonies have vested in
terest in them The department wants to keep its
hands the Philippines and Porto Rico the interior
department will not give up Hawaii and Alaska, the
navy department wants to keep control of Guam and
Samoa, and only reluctantly let go Of the Virgin
islands, though of the three departments is fitted
for such colonial administration
In addition to that tumble, the state department,
on the SIDE runs unofficial colonial affairs in Cuba,
Haiti and Nicaragua.
We should have the honesty to admit the fact that
we are an imperial power ruling subject peoples. And
long as are in that business, we should do the
job as efficiently as possible.
That means in the first place the creation Of an in
dependent colonial Office bureau, centralizing the
common problems and duties.
1t means in the second place the development of
specially trained and experienced personnel for colon
ial service, comparable to present military and
diplomatic services
Colonial administration as Great Britain long
since discovered is job for experts Retired army and
navy officers, lame duck politicians, and party cam
pagn contributors not adequate for the task.
Here is problem which Hoover inherited. We be-
leve it is precisely the kind of problem that Hoover
can solve He has made good beginning in transfer
ring the Virgin islands from naval to civilian govern
ment.
We hope that, before he finishes, he will have
separate colonial bureau with complete responsibility
for all foreign possessions and with trained per-
sonnet in colonial service.

DRESIDENT HOOVER plans to make tour Of the
country and wants to visit twenty-four states if
he can
It's not bad idea, for the President is merely a
to almost everybody, and it would be valuable
politically if he could dramatize himself.
But he's having terrible time figuring out an
itinerary for all of the Republican senators are pes
tering the life out Of him to come and visit them
First of all there's Senator Norris of Nebraska He
simply won't take mo- for answer
He's getting a lot Of young chickens to fry, and
IN addition he has put out some onions and radsheS
NEXT there's Senator Cutting of New Mexico. He
In is stocking stream with fuII-grown trout and
in addition he would like to take the President hunt
ing bobcats.
Then there's Senator Hiram johnson. He demands
that the President come and stay at least month
The senator would like nothing better than to have
Hoover all to himself far away from the haunts of
man.
A ND there's Senator Borah All, there's a Hoover
IA adn1irer, whose constancy is as unaIterably
fixed as the north star
He is the most insistent of all
He demands not only that the President come to
his Idaho fireside but that he bring the grandch-
1ren and stay at least six weeks
Then on the way back east Hoover must go Up to
the Dakotas and visit Nye Already the placid and
imperturbable Nye is arranging entertainment for
his White House guest
Among other things he is to take Mr.. Hoover on
an investigating tour.
A ND then, Of course he'll just have ia stop of in
A Wisconsin and visit Senator La Toilette La Fol-
ette is simply on the warpath, demanding that the
President give him half Of his entire vacation.
Among other things, Senator La Toilette has ar
ranged to take Mr. Hoover to Milwaukee and let him
observe first hand how the noble experiment" works
So all in all it's hard to see how Mr. Hoover can
meet the social demands Of the Insurgents and still
visit twenty-four states

Poor Relief

Commendable as may be the purpose of
the members of the county council to keep
down taxes, there is one spot where not even
they will dare to stand and defend program
of retrenchment on poor relief.
This is the refusal to give any needy per-
son proper sustenance. Nor will any reduc-
ton of either amount or quality of food be
tolerated by community that still has a
heart, even if it has no jobs for the voorhees,.
1t is costing this city very much money
to support the families of the unemployed. 1t
is costing other cities much more. 1t will con-
tinue to cost money until this and other cities
find cure for unemployment.
If there has been either mismanage-
ment or private profit in the distribution of
food to the hungry, the county council has
duty to demand changes. Every penny
spent by the public for relief should and
must go to the needy.
But there must and can be no arbitrary
limit to the amount spent for this purpose.
That would be notice to the world that the
city is ready to let men, women and children
starve rather than raise tax limits. 1t
would be, in the end, the philosophy of kill
ing the needy and the unfit.
