France, Seeking To RiUal Ruhr,
Opens MoseIe Canal In Lorraine
tBy Associated Pr@ssl

METZ, France, Oct. ia 200
year-old dream of man-bullt
waterway has just been realized In
this iron producing region OF
France and has given it hopes OF
becoming an industrial counter
part of the German Ruhr.
The achievement is the $9,600,-
900 Moselle canal, partially fl
nanced with German reparations.
President Albert Lebrum and Pre-
mier Edouard Herriot have hailed
it as the iron canal of France.
See Business Help
Its potentialities, scarcely con-
ceivable to the Duke of Lorraine
who first suggested its need to
make the upper reaches of the
Moselle river navigable in 1751,
are of suck magnitude that French
officials hope they will be notice
able in relief of the economic stu
alton.
The canal, opening the Lorraine
metallurgical industry to water
transportation, naturally lis ex-
pected to cheaper the production
of iron and steel at home. But it
has a wider, international aspect.
French industrialists believe it
will facilitate the exchange of raw
materials between Lorraine and
Westphalia, which includes the
great German industrial section OF
the Ruhr.
Will Aid Exports
Furthermore, the canal is in
tended to start Lorraine minerals
from the valleys of the Moselle
and Orne rivers on the way to Eng
land and Belgium, as well as into
the interior of France.
Edouard Daladier, minister OF
public works, has estimated that
the waterway, by providing cheap
er transportation, will save almost
81 ton in the price Of coal
brought into the Lorraine section.
Such saving would mean approx.
mately $72O,OOO year to the
French metallurgical industry.
The canals construction was
proposed in modern times shortly
before the war Of 1870 in which

Samuel insult Detained
AT Athens Upon Request
Made By U. S. Minister
Question OF His Extradi-
dition Still Pending; ;
Arrives In Greece At
ter Leaving Italy

ATHENS, Oct. 10. -
Samuel insult was detained
by Athens authorities today
at the request of the Amer
lean minister to Greece. The
question of his ektradition
to the United States is pend
ing.
insult arrived here after
leaving Italy just in time to
escape an attempt of the
American government to
have him returned to Chi
cago to face indictment for
embezzlement.
insult left Paris last week
a few hours before the
American embassy asked
French foreign office to
have him arrested and held
pending extradition proceed
ings from France.
He went to Italy with his
SON, Samuel, Jr., and left
Saturday for Athens.
Whether he will be
brought back from Greece
on an extradition writ was
considered questionable.
The extradition treaty has
not been ratified FORMALLY,
so it is probable America will
leave it up to Greece to say
whether the treaty is now in
force.
Police later announced the
former utilities magnate was
detained today merely be-
cause papers were not found
in order and that he must be
released within az hours un-
less arrest for extradition is
authorized.
