Railroad reports for the month of

among the carriers to balance losses in
gross earnings with a cutting down in
operating expenses. How much further
this can be carried without detriment

upkeep, No new equipment is being
purchased This has compelled another

Steel Rails Not Needed.
Evidently the railroads are not in need
of steel rails, for they have made abso-
lutely no response to the reduction in
price from S43 to $40 ton, announced
last month by the United States Steel
Corporation. They have been favored
during the last two Winters by mod
crate weather, which has relieved them
of extraordinary maintenance charges
during the season when their operating
income in most parts OF the country is
at the lowest of the year. Their STATS
have been cut as far as good service
permits, in some cases nearly so per
cent from the 1929 quotas 1t is not
likely that any early change will be
made in the status of the pay schedule

permanent structures such as locks.
 Two dams will be built in the St Lawrence. The treaty does not fix their location, but engineers favor placing one near either Crysier or Ogden Island and the other near Barnhart. The United States had wanted only one dam, but Canada insisted that if only one were built it would have to be so high that the river would overflow several Cana dian towns.
 The dams would be fitted for hydro-electric plants capable of producing 1000, 900 horsepower, di- vided equally between the United States and Canada. Each will be left free to settle the power claims of it's plitical subdivisions = the United States with New York state and Canada with Ontario.
 New York'S power claims have been a controversial point. New York authorities claimed the fed eral government in it's negotiations with Canada was not taking the states rights into consideration. The power issue will be settled be- tween congress and the state.
 The waterway when completed will enable ocean-going vessels to be loaded directly at Great Lakes ports and take their cargoes to Flu rope without trans-shipmsnt. Mid- dle-western grain and meat, Min- nesota and Michigan iron ore, Pennsylvania coal and many other products then can be laid down in European ports at a considerable lower cost than at present.

 Thus the campaign came far closer to providing Q straight. out-and-out test of sentiment on prohibition than any election yet held; and when Smith went down to defeat, the dry leaders an- nounced that the 18th amend ment was more secure than ever.
 But the vets refused to agree.
 One fact, though, was clear. Prohibition had come out into the open and was fast developing into a straight party issue. Both sides prepared for a new test of strength in the election of 1932.

ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY HAVE
 BEEN SEVERED
Diplomatic Relations Are Broken of and Argen- tina Blanses Uruguay for All the Trouble

Buehcs Aires. July 14.-afcP)-- Argentina and Uruguay have brok- eu diplomatic rslations. after . series of mis,tndsrstandings. the latest involving visit by an Argentine exile to a Uruguayan cruiser departing for Buenos Aries to participate ifi a national Argen- tine celebration.
 The Argentine government said Uruguay had broken relations flor feasons absolutely devoid of fcufi. datioh.r Uruguay took the initial five and gave the Argentine am bassadcr his passports late yester- day.
 Uruguay claimed that ,Areen.. tina's attitude during the visit of the cruiser Uruguay was islfriend- ly, and that this precipitated the break. General Severe Tofanz0, an exiled Argentine, visited the cruiser just before 1t left MontAvideo to cross the River Plata and help the Aresntines celebrate their holiday of July Q.
 Captain Hernandez of the Urug- tiay was relieved of his command because he did not report .eArlier fo his goverhment that hfs ship was watched closely while in port at Buenos Aires. When the ship started back to Mcntevideo. Argen- tine naval planes escorted 1t as far as UruSuayan waters.
 This incidAnt climaxed a mum. Der of qphrfels over Argentine fugitives allowed to enter Uruguay, where they congregated at the com- f0rtabIe cafes of Montevideo. The Argentine government charged they plotted against Argentina in perfect safety guaranteed by a supposedly friendly neishborine power.
 The question of tariffs also enter ed into the discussions. Argentina taxed passages to Uruguay during the tourist season, and boosted the tafiK on sand. Uruguay retaliated.
 An Argentine comynunique an- nouncing that the Drqguayan afn- bassador had received his passport and that Great Britain had been asked to represent Argentine tenn porarily at MOntevidso said that the Uruguayan government had made no former formal protest re. garding the alleged unfriendly Afgehtine attitude.

United States And Canada Prepare For Immense Waterway
St Lawrence Project Will Cost Three Times as Much as Panama Canal Both Nations Will Divide Expenses
 of $8OO,OOO,OOO

Washington, July 14-(U. P) - American and Canadian diplomats sto-day rushed the first draft of the
 final treaty for construction of the St Lawrence waterway costing three times as much as the Panama Ca lnal.
 Preliminary terms for building the 1,000-mile seaway have been agreed upon by the two countries.
 The White House said the final treaty would be ready for sigma sture lat an early date.'
 An authoritative sougce informed the United Press that the agree ment set the cost of the project at about $500, ,000,O00. { The total cost is to be divided sequally between the United States and Canada. Each will be allowed credits for work already done. Can ada has completed more work than this country. She will be given a ss12O, 900, 900 credit for the Welland Canal, which will become unit of sthe new waterway, linking the Great Lakes with the sea.

but it made little difference, the League of Nations and general dissatisfaction with the war were the only issues, and N prohibition played practically no part at all in the campaign.
 As far as congress was con- cerned, 1920 passed with prohi- bition getting very little attention. Congress appropriated the money 1t was asked for to enforce the amendment = 1t took $4,575,000 that year-and voted down a very half -hearted attempt to repeal the Volstead act. That was all.
 During succeeding years Con- gress passed sundry laws to tighten up enforcement-law providing for deportation of alien bootleggers, laws restricting the amount of medicinal liquor 8 doc- tor could prescribe. and so on but in no case was the division along party lines. The handful of vets present came from both parties.
 The republican platform in 1924 treated prohibition even more lightly than that of 1920.

The amendment was nowhere re- ferred to by name. Two brief paragraphs demanded respect for law, asserted that violations of the law threaten government it. self'' and pledged the party to en- force the constitution and all laws.
 In the democratic party prohi- bition tried valiently to emerge as party issue, and what hap pened at the Madison Square Gar den convention is still remem- bered. The two chief candidates were Alfred E. Smith, wet. and William G. McAdoo, dry. After 103 ballots, the convention found itself. unable to agree, on either, and nominated John w. Davis.

 The oft-repeatsd assertion that prohibition is not a political issue was certainly as true as gospel in the beginning.
 Not only did the Anti-saloon league work through and with both parties in getting ratification of the amendment, but the two major parties seemed, from their public announcements to be -tu terly ignorant of what was, taking place.
 An excellent example is to be found in the New York guberna- torial campaign of 1913.
 Congress recently had passed the 18th amendment and it was before the states for ratification. Alfred D. Smith was running for the governorship on the demo- cratic ticket, opposed by Charles S. Whitman, the republican can didate.
 Then, if ever, one would have expected prohibition to be a prominent issue in the campaign. The amendment was still pend- ing: the time was ripe for bring ing it out into the middle of the political arena.
 But neither Smith nor Whit man once referred to it-nor did their respective party platforms.
 By 1920 when the democratic and republican national conven- tions were held, the amendment had not only been ratified, but had gone into effect, although it may be worth noting that the democratic convention in San Francisco has gone down in his- tory as one of the wetetst gath erings of its kind.
 Perhaps the politicians thought : the issue had been closed. At any rate, the subject was treated gingerly in the party platforms of that year.
 The republican platform of 1920 said just this on prohibi- ton:
 with regard to the sale and manufacture of intoxicating bev- erages, the republican party will stand for the enforcement of the Constitution of the United States sas it shall be declared by the su- preme court" The democratic platform of 1920 failed to mention the sub- ject at all, although it did go out of it's way to congratulate the state legislatures--35 of them, at that moment-which had ratified the 18th amendment, granting the vote to women.
 
 Minor Campaign Issue In the campaign, Warren G. Harding was popularly supposed to be dry-he had voted for the | amendment--and James M. Cox was similarly chased as a wet; l
