WATERWAY TREATY.
HEARING RECESSES
Senators Prepare to Resume.
Monday, With Opponents /,
Claiming Victory
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senators went back to their Offices
today to store up more thousands of
words for and against the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence waterway treaty and pos
sibly to draw up tentative reservations.
In recess over the week end after an
opening days debate that developed an
administration attack on the opposition
for local selfishness," the Senate will,
resume the arguments over the con-
troverted pact Monday, when opponents
are expected to start heavy assault
There is little prospect a vote will be
reached for several weeks. It also is
very likely that the pact will not be
allowed to interfere with other big
business, but will be laid aside tenn
porarily now and then.
Proponents claim they could muster
the necessary two-thirds votes for rati-
fication, but some privately expressed
doubt
Opposition Claims Victory.
The opposition. made up largely of
Democrats, despite President Roosevelt's
advocacy Of the treaty, still cling to the
claim of between 35 and so votes. With
all Senators voting 33 is all that would
be needed to reject the pact.
First hints of possible reservations
came during yesterdays debate, when
Senator Clark, Democrat. of Missouri. a
leader of the opponents. told Senator
Pittman Democrat. of Nevada, direct
ing the administration efforts for ratif-
cation that millions of Americans fa-
vored the general outlines for the wa
terway. but objected to specific pro-
visions in the treaty.
One of these he interpreted as inter-
naturalization of Lake Michigan by
putting in international agreement form
the amount of water the Supreme Court
says might be diverted from the lake for
the Chicago Drainage Canal and Lakes,
to-the-Gulf Waterway.
Canadian Benefit Claimed.
Mississippi Valley and Illinois Sena-
tors hold this would prevent Congress
from increasing that diversion, if it saw
fit. without Canada's consent.
Clark also contends millions Of Ameri-
can dollars would go to Canada for en-
ployment of Canadian labor on the
huge construction job.
However. If any reservations develop
they are not looked for until near the
end of the debate.
Senator La Toilette. Republican Of
Wisconsin a strong believer in the
project, said the time had not arrived
for reservation talk yet.
Senator Pittman, aided by Senators
Erickson. Democrat of Montana. La Fol-
lette, and Vandenberg. Rebuplican Of
Michigan carried the fight to the op-
position yesterday, Pittman charging
opponents with ignoring the broad ma
tional considerations and putting first
their local harbor interests"

American producers and manufacturers
will be affected by the loan ban.
From the viewpoint of Senator john
son, however, short-term loans would
only be regarded as a subterfuge in
some instances to evade the law, so
new language will have to be employed
to retain the original objects of the
legislation and yet prevent foreign gov
ernments from selling their regular
bond issues in America until they have
paid up on previous issues.

Twenty of the birds were released at

ford and thirty at the NOVEL; ranch
north Of White Bluffs. The birds are
about eleven weeks old and having
been raised at the Walla Walla state
game farm, were quite tame when
liberated. Game Protector Watson says,
however, that they soon revert to the
wild state and become as hard to ap-
proach as birds born in the wild.
With the release of these focks, the
total number of pheasants released In
Benton county this year was raised to
about $50.
