II am greatly impressed and pleased
with the constructive steps already
taken toward the elimination of acci-
dents, especially highway disasters,
which. because avoidable. are doubly
tragic" The President wrote
This is problem which We must
attack with the utmost energy and
persistence. Ultimately we may ex-

Boring Into Personalities.

You can get a better idea of what
to expect from boring into the per-
sonalities behind the new set-up
These personalities may be checked as
follows:
Clay WilliamS-a d-boiled. ca
pable former tobacco manufacturer
whose industry has not accepted an
N. r. A. code.
Arthur Whiteside-an intelligent
Wall Streeter, who signed the Cham
Der of Commerce statement a week
ago urging that the N. r. A. be
scrapped
Sidney Hillman-a rough-and- -tum-
able labor leader, who has the clothing
industry under the thumb of his
union; his labor tie-up is with the
John Lewis crowd in the A. F. Of L.,
not the Green crowd.
Walton Hamilton-A Yale law pro-
feSSor, formerly an ardent left wing
Progressive, who has been mellowed
somewhat by his studies of constitu-
tional law.
Leon Marshall-A moderate liberal
college professor, who has been at
Johns Hopkins trying to figure out how
to humanize law.
Add those personalities up and
the dnSWer is nothing. This board
probably neUer mill be able to agree
on uhere to hold its meetings. 1t is
three to tlDo liberal, but the third
liberal (MdTshdH is an irdeterni-
nate, or at least an uncertain,
quantity.
The real secret Of the reorganization
may be found in the personalities on
the second directorate-that is, the
policy committee. There will be no
disagreement among these policy fix
ers. They are all Of one mind, and
the mind they are of is Mr.. Roose-
Velt's.
VIII Give Roosevelt Reform.
Messrs. Richberg. Ickes, Hopkins,
Davis and Miss Perkins know that Mr.
Roosevelt wants reform. They will
give it to him In fact, they may give
him just a little more reform than he
wants, for they are all Jealous pro-
gresSives and liberals, who have an ir-
repressible hankering to make every
thing better.
They will tell the first committee
what to do. All Of them, except Rich
berg, are too busy with other jobs to
worry about details, but all will vote

in. They will decide all the heavy
policies over which the Administrative
Board will split; and they will decide
them the liberal way.

MOSCOW, Jan. 26.-A suspicion of distrust of Japanese intentions in the Far East is voiced by the Soviet Press.
 This is the first reaction to the speech of Foreign Minister Koki TIirota before the Japanese Diet and the resignation of Gen. Sadao Araki as Minister of War.
 Declaring no changes of Japanese policies will be expected to result from fIirota's declaration of policy and Araki's retirement, the news paper Izvestia added that it is re- grettable that neither even gives any indication of decision by the Japanese and there is no liquida- ton in the tense policy toward the Soviet Union.
 Karl Radek, writing in the same newspaper, warned that peace is in danger,'i due to measures of the Japanese imperialists.

 He said the bill would raise prices, stimulate trade, protect and stabilize currency and aid in every phase of the present emergency
 This afternoon the Senate voted to give the Secretary of the Treas 'ury sole jurisdiction over the two billion dollar stabilization fund pro- posed in the Administrations bill, rejecting the amendment to place the fund in charge of a Board of five members for currency opera tions.

WASHINGTON, Jan 26.-AAddi tion of $500 miles to the American seacoast and conversion of 30 in- land cities into ocean ports :. Utilization of the Great Lakes as 94,000-square mile basin for hy- dro-electric power.
 These are two of the main points sketched in an inter departments survey of the economic aspects of the St. Lawrence seaway supported in a message to the Senate by President Roosevelt.
 The seaway, avenue of the earli- est explorers and for more than a century envisaged as the open road for commerce to midcontinental America, has been a subject of ac- tive national investigation, as least since 1919, when Congress author ized an International Joint Com mission to study it's possibilities. It is now before the Senate in the form of treaty with Canada.
 Short Gap Incomplete
 Strictly speaking, the seaway al ready is, in existence, for all but 120 miles of it's 2,437 mile course from Duluth to the Atlantic has been improved to a depth of 21 feet, which in 1928 allowed vessels of light draft to carry 8,400,000 tons of commerce. Its present ca pacity is about 90o0,000 tons.
 The International Rapids section where the principal work remains to be done, has AT miles of IA foot canals in use. Here it is plan ned to build two giant dams and three locks, with hydro-electric generating capacity of 100000 horsepower to be divided evenly between the two countries.
 Canada already n completed the Weland canal around the greatest of all obstacles, Niagara Falls. and has completed all but the locks for the BeauharnOis ca nal She is to build the Lachine canal and locks, while the United States is to build new lock at Sault Ste. Marie and dredge chan nels there and at Detroit to 27 feet, already being deepened to 25 feet. Both countries have cleared the Thousand Islands section.
 Estimated Cost S543, 100000
 Based on 1926 estimates the en- tire project is expected to cost $543, ,0O0, 900, but Canada already has spent nearly $13O000,000 of that amount, and the United States has spent or auth orized $30,000,000. With $89 .000,0 900, the amount New York state is to pay for the power developments, deducted the further cost to the United States is eSti- mated at less than $150,000,000.
 With locks 30 feet deep and channels 27 feet deep, it is esti- mated that TO per cent of the worlds ocean-going ships could reach inland.
