SPECIAL SESSION
is CALLED IN OHIO
Gov White Sets May 16 for Pass,
ing Bank Changes to Get Share
of Federal Relief.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 5.-A special
session of the Ohio Legislature, the sec
or in six weeks, was called last night
by Gov. George White for May 16 to
amend State banking laws and permit
Ohio banks in financial difficulties to
borrow from the Federal Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
The session is expected to last not
more than one day.
Ohio banking laws, in existing form,
do not give the superintendent of banks
necessary authority to borrow from the
S2OO,000,000 Federal fund, and without
such authority the corporation will not
make loans.
Under the plan, the State superin-
tendent will borrow from the corpora
ton and pledge assets OF the banks as
security. ...--
On March 90 Gov. White called a
special session to enact emergency rel1et
appropriations Of S25,o0o,ooO.

By the Associated Press.
A nine-hour flight in the Akron has
convinced at least one member Of the
House Naval Committee that the air
ship is wonderful job"
Representative Woodruff Of Michigan,
said today:
There never before has been such a
splendid piece Of lighter -than-air con-
struction as the Akron. 1t is necessary
to take fight on her as We did yester-
day in puffy weather to appreciate her.
1T was amazing to see the splendid
way she reacted to every turn of the
controls. Why, she handled as beautt-
fully as a ship at sea and there was no
jolting and vibration like one finds in
a train"
The Akron yesterday carried members
of the House Committee on an all-day
cruise over Washington, New York,
Philadelphia and Atlantic City. 1t re-
turned to Lakehurst last night and the

DIG THE FLORIDA CANAL.

TT SEEMS to us that this is the time of all
l times to begin digging that deep-water
canal across the neck of the Florida PENN
sula. While we are preparing to build the
ST. Lawrence deep waterway along our

lars. it looks to lis as ii we should not wait
TO put a lot more money and men to work
i'll the South, also.

Is small sum as money IS counted III these
days 1t will take several years to com

SO much time and money for ships plying
between Gulf ports and the Atlantic sea
board that it will pay for itself i'll tolls III

The Panama canal last year, i'll spite Of
depressed foreign trade, earned S120OO,0OO
above the cost of operation After paying
the interest OH the $125OOO,000 Of Panama
canal bonds. this left 100000 profit.
There Is much more ship traffic between
the Gulf Of Mexico ports and those OH the
Atlantic coast than there is going through
the Panama canal annually At a much
smaller toll per gross ton, the Florida canal
could earn as much as Panama does.
We understand that application is be-
inc made to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation to finance this enterprise. We
hope that it will be one of the things done

1t is estimated by those who know
about such things that not more than
IA percent of the passenger cargo ships
engaged in the United States foreign
trade, and not more than Is percent
of the fast all-cargo vessels or tankers
now using American ports, could use
the new waterway if it were built
And LIN Conclusion
In the enthusiasm generated in the
Middle West by the advocates Of the
seaway, very little emphasis has been
placed upon the fact that navigation in
the upper lakes, from Buffalo to
Duluth, ends early in December when
the insurance companies refuse to carry
any more insurance on vessels facing
the oncoming ice. Navigation never
opens again before March or April, SO
that, so far as through traffic Is con-
cerned the proposed deep waterway
would be out of commission for from
three to four months every year
And, as a final argument against the
proposal, it is pointed out that every
important canal, including the Suez
Canal, the Manchester Canal, the Pan
anna Canal and the Chicago Drainage
Canal, cost from two to three times as
much as the original estimates con-
templated The estimate for the United
States share of the St. Lawrence deep
waterways is $258, 900, 900. It is more
likely, its opponents say, to cost half or
three quarter of billion before we
are through with it. Interest charges
on this investment at three percent
might easily run to Is million or even
Is million dollars year.
Anyway, whatever the merits of the
treaty, it is certain that one of the
bitterest controversies, perhaps the bit
terest since the Treaty of Versailles
was rejected by the senate in 1919, IS
on the cards for the next session.

WASHINGTON
~ RADFoRD MoelEY

Washington, D. c., August 3.-Con-
gress has adjourned, but Senator Borah
is still in session
As chairman of the foreign affairs
committee of the senate, Senator Borah
has announced that he will conduct
an investigation into the treaty recent
~ negotiated between the United
States and Canada for the construction
of the ST. Lawrence deep waterway
Since this treaty does not take effect
until it has been ratified by the proper
legislative bodies of both nations, the
fate of this ST. Lawrence project rests
with the United States senate, and from
present indications it is going to be
one Of the holly controversial subjects
of debate when the senate convenes
AGAIN lltAt l1CIclllptl.
For rs years the cities and states
bordering on the upper lakes have been
presumably united behind the move
ment to make them seaports The
agitation for twenty foot
waterway from Duluth to Montreal
has been going on for at least that
length of time A week ago, when the
announcement was made that treaty
had finally been negotiated between
Washington and Ottawa providing for
the carrying out of this immense prof.
ect, it was hailed by the deep water
way advocates as great victory.
In a week all of that has changed.
There is no public project against
which so many shafts Of criticism have
been leveled as are being aimed al
liiS lItdly dt tiic plcSSiit liiilt, DOfne
Of the criticism is political, some is
economic.
Chicago Now Doubts"
Chicago has long been ambitious to
become seaport, as a part Of that
city's ambition to rival New York in
every way If there were navigable
channel q feet deep, all the way from
the Gulf of st. Lawrence to Chicago
that ambition might in part be realized
But Chicago and the state of Illinoi,
now seem to be lining up against tn,
treaty on the ground that it limits til,
diversion of water from Lake Michi-
gan into the Chicago drainage cana
to $500 cubic feet per second Chicago
Western news and the Libby times. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1920-1933, 1932-08-04

says that that is not enough to main
tain a nine foot depth of water for the
inland waterway from the lakes TO the
gulf So strong opposition to the treaty
is already developing in Illinois and in
the states to the south and west thereof
that are interested in the lakes to the
gulf waterway.
Opposition is developing from the
state of New York from two or three
different angles. There is nothing in
the treaty which allocates to the state
of New York any part Of the S258 600, !
600 which the ST. Lawrence waterway
is expected to cost the United States,
and President Hoover refused to dis
cuss that point with Governor Roose-
Welt and the chairman of the New York
state power authority. Frank P. Walsh.
The fear that New York state will have
to spend $3.50, 100000 Of the S258,OOO, :
600 is one Of the grounds of opposition
from that state. Another point on which
the fight on the treaty will be made is
the question of how the hydro-elec-
trio power which will be developed
along the northern border of New York
state will be handled on this side.
Whether the disposition of this electric
power is to rest with the state of New
York or with the federal government is
question which is not answered in
the treaty.
Some Broader Objections
Another ground of criticism is that
under the treaty the Canadian gov
eminent will have to spend only about
sixth as much money as the United
States, and that about SIS, 100000 Of
American funds will have to be spent
for Canadian materials, engineers and
labor, while there will be no compen-
sating expenditures by Canada for
American labor and materials.
Those are only samples of the things
that are being said about the treaty as
negotiated. Back of all of these criti-
cisms there is much broader base
for the real fight against ratification
This base is the growing belief that
a 27-foot waterway, l,500 miles long,
would not accomplish the purpose
which it is intended to serve, namely,
that of making seaports out of Duluth,
Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Toronto and the other towns on the
upper lakes. At the time when n feet
was fixed upon as the necessary depth
to bring ocean-going ships up into the
lake country and the effort to develop
this waterway was begun, ocean COM
merce was still mostly carried in small
ships. Since then we have had world
war. in which practically all the old
ships were scrapped or rendered OBJ
solete. and the new merchant marine
Of the world consists mainly OF large
ships, which could not by any pos
sibility penetrate into the upper lakes
through twenty-seven foot channel
even If it were economical for them
to travel at the slow speed to which
rivers and canals limit navigation. In
other words, the shipping industry has
developed while the St. Lawrence deer
waterway project has stood still
