CREDIT AID FOR
INDUSTRIES IS
BEING PUSHED

CONTINUED from page one.)
100000 men could be given
jobs under the program.
Attempts to expand credit
through established banks have
failed and the administration has
decided that the best way to help
industry now is to provide it with
government loans such as already
have been extended to banks and
railroads.
The industrial loan plan is, in
effect, one of credit initiation.
Conservative interests contend
that the stock market, commun-
cations and tariff bill, are della
tionary because all are alleged to
tend to discourage investment,
through creating restrictions up
on business and making uncertain
the future course of industry.
President Roosevelt has re-
Quested legislation in all three of
these fields, but apparently is
willing to make extensive conces-
sions to business in some direc-
tons.
Wall street spokesman protest
ed that the stock exchange bill,
as originally drafted would vir-
tually wreck the investment mar
iet and make it difficult to raise
new capital. President Roosevelt
called upon three of the most
conservative of his advisers to
confer today with Ferdinand Pc
cora. counsel for the senate stock
market investigation, and one of
the authors of the drastic pend
ing bill.
Governor Black, Thomas Corco-
ran of the Reconstruction FL
nance corporation, and Thomas
Smith. treasury adviser, confer
red for hours with Pecora yester-
day, drafting changes to meet
MANY of the conservative obJec-
tions to the bill. They will meet
again today.
Meanwhile, the senate inter-
state commerce committee was
told by Walter S. Clifford, presl-
dent of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company, that the
Dill communications regulation
bill would disorganize the teie-
phone business and ieopardize the
investment of 681,000 stockhold-
ers in his $5,000,000,OOO corpora
ton. :,
The Dill bill was introduced
after President Roosevelt asked
that a communications commission
be set up to regulate telephone,
telegraph and radio systems.
Clifford contended that the Dill
bill went far beyond the White
House request, giving the pro-
posed commission power to inter-
fere to a great extent in the OPP
erations of communications COM
NAMES. He said it would jeop-
ardize accounting practices es-
tablished by the interstate COM
merce commission and would give
the president power to seize tele-
phone. telegraph and radio com
panies in an emergency.
David Sarnoff, president OF
Radio Corporation Of America
endorsed the bill enthusiastically.
R. B. White, president of West
ern Union Telegraph company,
proposed a provision protecting
communications systems against
interrution by strikes.
On the tariff front, James A.
Emery, general counsel for the
National Manufacturers assocla,
ton, told the house ways and
means committee that the pend
ing tariff bill would give the
president power with which he
could regulate the "employing
power and perhaps the very ex-
istence" of industries. He pro-
tested against President Roose-

SENATE DEFEATS THE
WATERWAYS TREATY
iContinued from page oneJ

DEM, Mo-, who, with his col
league Senator ]. Hamilton Lewis,
Dem. ILL.,, has directed opposition
strategy, said the reservations
were withdrawn yesterday to
keep from muddling up the is
sue"
"The administration will not
accept reservations which we con-
slider VITAL" Clark said. eve have
enough votes to beat the treaty
so we decided to do it and get 1t
over with"
The senate accepted without
record vote yesterday a reserva-
ton providing that the treaty, If
ratified, could not be construed as
in any way confirming the right
of the Aluminium Company OF
America to permanent diversion
of water at the Massena Canal
on the st. Lawrence.
Such an understanding was
agreed to in exchange Of notes
between the Canadian and Amerl-
can governments in January
1888.
Senator Clark denounced the
treaty as "a menace to the neces-
sary development of the system
of Mississippi Valley waterways"
eve of the Mississippi Valley
who oppose the treaty see in the
absolute limitation put upon the
diversion of water from Lake
Michigan for all time, a curtail-
ment of the future development
of the lake-to-the-gulf project
and the making of the inland en-
pire of the Mississippi Valley a
landlocked and commercially i'm
potent domain" he said.
The issue has cut sharply across
party lines to produce an old
fashioned sectional battle, with
home town influences stronger
than allegiance to the White
:; House.
The proposed st. Lawrence
waterway would be a channel n
! feet deep, linking the midwest by
water with the great ports of the
world. 1t would open a water
| lane for ocean going ships from
| Duluth. Mimi, to the mouth of
the St. Lawrence, a distance of
1890 miles.
A project calling for 100000
/ horsepower of hydro-electric en-
ergy to be divided between the
United States and Canada is as
sociated with the proposed devel-
opment. Army engineers have es.
timated the construction would
cost approximately $550,0O0,OOO
although some opponents have
placed the expenditure as high as
$1,250,000,000.
! The cost is to be divided be-
tween the United States and Can
ada. The state of New York would
pay $89,726,OOO of the United
States share of the cost, because
the New York power authority
will develop the 100000 horse
power of electricity to be gener-
ated on the American side of the
river and sell this electrical en-
ergy at low rates to consumers.
Chief opposition to the treaty
comes from Mississippi Valley in
terests which fear the waterway
would cause a lower water level
| in the Illinois river and ultimate
! ly iniure water connection be-
, tween the Great Lakes and the
Gulf of Mexico; and from New
York interests which contend that
the waterway would result in a
diversion of European freight
from New York.

Mrs. Wiley's Luncheon
For judges on Ar.

Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, president of

uel A. Swiggett, chairman of the di-

and Mr.. Benjamin Kurtz, who had
been invited to Washington to act as
jurors in the State art contest, spon-
Sored by the General Federation of

of work in the several libraries, the
members of the jury expressed them
selves as surprised at the absence of
the usual painting before which one
stands and wonders just "how that
awful picture got into the show" In
selecting the four subjects from each

ative point of view which shows a
sense of vision and imagination-a
creative impulse of the individual
rather than craftsmanship.

dent of the General Federation of
