CANADA TREATY
. HIT AS SECRET

The attack on the st. Lawrence
waterways treaty negotiated by
Canada and the United States
continued today with the State
Department maintaining silence.
Amplifying the assaults already
made on the treaty, opponents
attacked the secrecy surround
ing the negotiations of the past
three years.
State Department officials, de-
clining to answer the criticism,
took the position that the treaty
is sound and will be justified
when the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions subcommittee completes its
investigation.
Senator Lewis CD of Illinois,
who is expected to deal the fight
against ratification of the treaty,
charged that American interests
were kept in ignorance of the
negotiations.

SEEK NEW
BONUS LOANS

While veterans going home
under the fare arrangement con-
tinued to line up at the Vermont
Avenue entrance to the Veterans
Administration Building, another
line formed today outside the
entrance to the Washington
regional office, 1917 I st. N. w.
1t was composed of veterans ap-
plying for so per cent loans on
their bonus certificates, following
the signing yesterday by Presi-
dent Hoover of the bill removing
the requirement that a certificate
be in force two years before a
loan can be drawn.
These veterans were urged to
file their applications but not to
await obtaining their money here.
They were told they should pro-
ceed to their homes under the
fare arrangement and that they
could then get the loans in short
order from the regional office
nearest the home city.
Those who wish to await their
loan money here must remain
until the applications are for
warded to the regional office
nearest the veterans home,
where it will be okayed and re-
turned to Washington.
If veterans choose to remain
here for their loans they cannot
give any of the bonus camps as
an address. A street address or
care of general delivery" is
necessary.
The total number of applica.
tions for fare home had reached
1928 when the Veterans Admin.
iStration opened at 9 o'clock to.
day. Three more days remain
for the veterans to utilize the
fare arrangement, the time limit
being midnight Sunday.

Workers to Cut Pay

NEW YORK, July % G.N.SD.
With bankers pressing him to
slash $75,000,00O from the city
budget to effect economies, Mayor
James j. Walker was scheduled
to make a radio plea today to
city employees to accept vol
untary cut in pay.
Although under the law munic-

There was fair support at the

At the opening wheat was I'M

was unchanged to 4 cent lower and

Liverpool opened higher, but not
as much as expected, and by mid

The strength in wheat toward the
close last week rallied corn, and
almost all Of that grains losses were
recovered. Corn is depending al
most solely on the strength in
wheat for advances. due to the ad-
mittedly bearish cash and statistical
position.
Oats also took strength from

but is offset by the cash demand.

Proof that American standards Of
living have not been abandoned
during a period of financial stress
is seen in the figures on domestic
consumption. Average annual con-
sumption for each consumer for the
year ending Jan. 81 increased 90
per cent and the average cost Id
per cent.
Domestic customers numbered
20,316,675, fully 10 per cent of all the
homes in the country being served.
This was the largest number in his
tory. The average bill per consumer
was $3.50 in 1881.
The electric light and power in
dustry, with a plant and equipment
value approximating $4,000, 100000,
is one of the important industries
of the country and in itself has
done much to furnish employment
and keep money in circulation dur
ing the depression period. Its oper-
ations furnish valuable index OF
the great volume of business which
still goes on even when general &C
tiyity is at a low ebb.

In the Cotton Markets
CBv Thomson g. McKinnonl

The cotton market was a tame
affair this morning with the trade
doing little and local traders bear
ish on lower security prices. There
was nothing in the news except ref
erences to the attempts being made
to restrict production among south
ern mills. AS the week closes, bet
ter weather in the south shows on
the map.
Prices at noon we're eight points
lower. The market had no particu-
lar tone, being easily influenced
either way by orders. We see no
reason for changing our opinion of
cotton. We realize that the public
is too uncertain about political de-
velopments to take a great interest
in cotton so early in the season but
for this same reason, it might east
ly be that such low prices exist.
