Joint Board Says st. Law
renee Not Endangered by
Power Development.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Montreal harbor shipping and the
navigable depths in TIE St. Lawrence
River below Montreal were reported to-
day by the Joint Board of Engineers to
be adequately protected against in
furious effect in the two-dam plan
adopted for the St. Lawrence seaway.
This report, which supplements one
made in 1926. was based on much fuller
information about the rock surfaces
OF the rapids section where the dams
ere to be built than was previously
available. as many additional borings
have been made at CrySler Island and
Barnhart Island The report was made
public today by the State Department.
Two Ontario towns Morrisburg and
1roquois, will be partly flooded by the
Crysler dam. but adequate provision
has been made in the estimates for
their rehabilitation. No considerable
damage will be done on the American
side by raising the water levels.
The report estimates the average head
of water which will be made available
at the Crysler Island dam will be "a
while at Barnhart Island it will be 60.4
feet in Summer and 564 feet in Winter.
President Hoover mentioned the pro-
lection for Montreal in his announce
mont of the two-dam or two-stage plan.
This protection has played large part
in the negotiations, as Quebec Province
has been somewhat hostile to the devel-
opment Of the st. Lawrence power by
Canada and the United States jointly.
The engineers report says the con-
struction of the two dams agreed upon
will require the placing of 4,O74,O 900 cubic
yards of concrete the excavation of
about 100000 cubic yards of solid rock
and 90.000000 cubic yards Of earth and
other material

board of engineers which made the re-
port are all Army engineers-Col. H. B.

members are D. w. McLachIan, o. Le-

It is interesting and gratifying that the chairman
of the Appropriations Committee and also its special
b partisan Economy Committee has asked the heads of all
executive departments to advise him concerning beneficial
changes t!at may be made in the economy act.
Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington likewise desires

Reiterates Accord
With Platform

In his address at Chicago
Mr.. Roosevelt, in reiterat-
ing his hearty accord with
the Democratic platform,
touched anew upon the utter
absurdity, and almost wick
edness, of trying to force
upon a people a personal
habit law which is disap-
proved by a vast part of the
population. Nothing could
be sOunder than this:
If a law is imposed upon
law enforcement agencies
that a vast proportion of the
people do not regard as a
moral obligation, the great
orderly force of public opin-
ion that must stand behind
law enforcement is lost. And
on the contrary this force
runs counter to the process
of law enforcement and it
must meet not only the prob
lem of restraining the Of
fenders-it must restrain the
offenders in spite of the fact
that the people of the COM
munity do not think the Of
fender is an offender at all. "
National prohibition liter
ally is despised by many mil
lions Of the people; it has
not been enforced; it cannot
be enforced; and it operates
exclusively for the benefit of
bootleggers who are given
immunity from taxation to
the loss Of hundreds of mil
lions to the Treasury.
Mr.. Roosevelt says at Chi
cagO:

cratic platform 100 per cent.

cation of the Volstead act, !"

voted for the repeal of the

never beaten her, or starved her.
BUT HE HADN'T MADE

Mr.. Hoover cannot be

liberal, no matter what he
says now in the desperation
Of despair.
One of the grand old fig
ures of American politics is
former Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri. Every
liberal in the country trusts
him. He has fought their
battles against the Hoovers.
He says properly of the
Hoover plan and pledge that

AL Smith is trusted by the
liberals. He has fought their
battles with rare courage;
and he makes Hoover posi-
ton clear in two paragraphs
of his editorial urging the
election Of the Democratic
ticket:
Pending constitutional
amendment (the nature of
which the frightened Hoover
5 not indicate) the Presi-
ul is ,,ainst any plan to
legalize light wines and beer.
In the course of the long
period which will undoubt-
edly elapse before the Eigh-
teenth Amendment is re-
pealed or modified, and in
the face of the urgent need of
new and fairer sources of
revenue, the President still
insists on kicking away the
hundreds of millions of dol
lars which could easily be
raised by a tax on beer and
wine.
In other words, Mr..
Hoover does not propose, if
he can prevent it, that the
American people shall have
beer for years at least. There
can be no repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment for
at least four years. Mean
while the mockery of prohi-
bition goes on; meanwhile
the bootleggers remain i'm
mune from taxation; mean
while the people are de-
prived of beer.
Mr.. Roosevelt and the
Democrats propose to deal
with the Volstead Act at
once and give the people
beer wherever they want if.
That makes an issue that
even the most stupid liberal
ought to see.
Meanwhile Charles Curtis,
the bone-dry champion both
of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the Volstead act
is being sent into dry terri
tory for purpose; and
Hoover speakers are utterly
ignoring prohibition - be-
cause no man with any pre-
tensions to common honesty
and self-respect can under
take to explain the Hoover
program without admitting
that it means nothing at the
best for four wears.
