SENATE SHOWS
SLIGHT REGARD
FOR WATERWAY
st. Lawrence Project Lost
Unless Roosevelt Acts,
Is Belief.
BY WALKER STONE
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11-There
is little likelihood that the St.
Lawrence treaty with Canada will
be ratified unless President Roose-
welt turns the heat on Democratic
senators.
All informal poll Of the senate to-
day indicated that many more than
the thirty-three members necessary
to defeat ratification will vote
against the treaty if the President
rests his case on yesterdays message
weakness Admitted
Several unfriendly Democratic
senators who live in states where
sentiment is neutral admitted, how
ever, that they could be persuaded
to give support should the President
force the issue.
Proponents of the treaty privately
admit their weakness.
Floor leadership of the opposition
forces will be in the hands of two
Democrats, Senators Royal S. Cope
land of New York and Huey Long
Of Louisiana, and their principal
oratorical hackers will be three other
Democrats, Senators Robert F.
Wagner of New York, Bennett Clark
OF Missouri and j. Hamilton Lewis
Of Illinois.
Although nominal leadership of
the pro-treaty forces will fall to
Senator Key Pittman Dem, New
foreign relations committee chair
man, the actual leadership will be
supplied by three Republicans-Ar-
thur H. Vanderberg of Michigan,
Robert La Toilette of Wisconsin
and William E. Borah of Idaho.
These three are the only members
of the senate who profess anything
like enthusiasm for the waterway
and power project.
Opponents Seek Delay
Although confident they have the
votes to defeat the treaty, opponents
will pursue strategy of delay. They
want, if possible, to prevent a vote,
so that timid opponents will not
have to break with the administra-
ton.
Senator Copeland has announced
that he is prepared ito speak for
week." and Senator Long has said
he will talk for two weeks. In the
opposition ranks will be a solid block
of senators repreSentinp the Allan
tic seaboard states. No amount of
presidential pressure will win over
any of these eastern senators, be
cause the chambers of commerce
and shipping interests in Atlantic
ports have stirred up local opposi-
ton to a point where a vote for
the treaty is politically dangerous

sky. the Soviet Unions first ambas-
sador to Washington, said today in
his first statement to the press since
his arrival I'VE must do some
thing for it, be active for it, struggle
for it."
This, the Soviet envoy said, would
be his foremost objective here, and
in accomplishing it he was con-
WINGED that it would be in accord
with the aims of the government of
the United States.
Pledges Support of Cause
He said whatever would advance
the cause, he would support. In the
furtherance of this subject, he re-
called, Soviet Russia has already
concluded several pacts of non-ag-
erosion, both political and
economic, and if such pact be-
tween his country and the United
States would be deemed helpful, he
would be for it.
In line with President RooSevelt's
Wilson day dinner speech in which
he proposed that from now on war
by governments shall be changed to
peace by peoples" Ambassador
Troyanovsky said that unquestion-
ably the vast majority of mankind
ardently desires peace" And it is
his hope, he declared, that our
great countries will contribute posi-
lively to its promotion.
The significance of the continued
reiteration of the words world
peace" in the announcements of
both Russian and American states
men in connection with the new as
ISOLATION of the two powers is not
lost on observers here.
Negotiations Stress Peace
The phrase occurred most prom
inently in the original messages ex-
changed between President Roose-
Velt and President Kalinin of Mos
COW. 1t is uppermost in the reports
OF conversations between the Amer
lean President and Soviet foreign
commissar Maxim Litvinoff during
recognition negotiations here. Will
liam G. Bullitt, our first ambassador
to Moscow, stressed it when pre-
senting his credentials at the Krem-
lin, and President Kalinin, replying.
again urged the point.
While officials in Moscow have
openly and repeatedly warned of
the danger of conflict between Rus
STA and Japan, Ambassador Troy
anovsky refused to discuss that
topic.
In recent months the peace poll
cies of Washington and Moscow have
seemed to converge to a marked de-
gree. Both have made it known that
they are not contemplating joining
the league of nations, the weak
nesses of which they have pointed
out. Both have officially stated,
however, that they will cooperate
with that body whenever possible.
Both stress the vital need for dis
armament.
Early trade urged
Concerned action between these
two powers. whose combined popu-
lation reaches approximately $780,
100000, admittedly would be a po-
tent influence for peace without the
necessity of political commitments
entangling them in each others
private difficulties.
Trade negotiations between his
country and the United States
should set under way very soon, the
ambassador said. Russia stands in
great need of the things which is
best qualified to supply. How much
she will buy here depends, first,
upon how much she can pay for
for she intends to pay-and, second,
upon the nature of the trade terms
offered.

MAIL SUBSIDY
BUDGET FACES
RIGID SCRUTINY
Senate Committee to Make
Careful Study Due to
Disclosures.
BY G. SANFORD HOLMES
Times Special Writer.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
postoffice budget for ocean and air.
mail subsidies for the coming year
will be scrutinized with more than
usual care, Senator Kenneth Nc
Kellar Dem, Tenn, ranking
member of the senate appropria-
lions committee and chairman of
the committee on postOffces and
post roads, said today.
The poStofflce department is ask
ing for nearly a million dollars
more for the next fiscal year than
is being paid out for air and ocean
mail subsidies this year.
Subsidy Increase Sought
For foreign mail transportation,
both by air and water, the budget
estimates call for an appropriation
Of $38, 485 40 for the next fiscal year,
as against an expenditure for this
year of $36,295,290.
For domestic airmail transporta-
ton and subsidies, the department
is asking $14,000,0O0 this year. The
amount being asked for 1885, how
ever, is far below that expended for
the last year Of the Hoover regime,
when airmail subsidies cost the gov
eminent $19,454,981.
Increased foreign mail costs are
attributed to new ships put into
service, for which the government is
obligated, and the increase for do
nestle airmail is attributed to the
necessity of paying for services still
being maintained by operators for
which, during the last year, they
received no compensation, owing to
government economy.
Whether the postoff1ce depart
ment will be granted the funds it
asks in view Of testimony already
brought out by the Black investiga-
ton. is regarded as highly profile
NAUTICAL. The fact that no cancel
lations, curtailments or abridge-
ments of either class of mail have
been made by Postmaster General
James A. Farley since taking Office
has disappointed critics of the sub
sidy system.
McCarl Decision Cited
Under a decision by Comptroller
General McCarl in the so-called
Winnipeg case, made in 1881, it was
ruled that the postmaster general
has no right to make major extern
sion or to let contracts without COM
petitive bids. Testimony before the
committee, however, shows that
through indirect methods lines have
been enlarged far beyond their orig
inal length. This was done under
the regime of Postmaster General
Walter Brown, but some senators
believe the decision opens the way
for abandonment of these contracts.
