COincidental with the reception Of
the Presidents message was the sub
mission Of q minority report by Sen
ator Wagner Of New York as a mem
Der Of the foreign relations commit
tee, In which Mr.. Wagner argued Wig
orously against ratification of the
treaty. He declared the cost Of the
waterway to the United States would
be 1918, 10000 instead Of the $272,-
$4,000 estimated by the proponents Of
the pact; and he asserted the United
States would spend three times as
much as Canada. though the Do
mlnion would receive vast prepon-
derance" Of the benefits. The senator
added: a
Most important Of all. am not In
favor of a public works project de-
signed to employ Canadian workmen
with United States money. The treaty
provides that although the United
States is to supply the funds for most
of the work in the International rap
Ids section Of the st. Lawrence river,
the portion of this work on the Cana
dian side of the section is to be per-
formed with Canadian workmen using
Canadian materials"
The Presidents message to the SEN
ate gave his opinion that the treaty
was fair. that the waterway project
was economically sound He declared
that local fears of economic harm to
special localities or to special inter
ests are grossly exaggerated" He at
tempted to dispose Of opposition from
Illinois and Mississippi valley senators
by declaring that the treaty provision
on the diversion at Chicago was ade-
quate to guarantee a sufficient volume
Of water. Q
The opposItion of Chicago and the
Mississippi valley to the treaty was
voiced especially by Senators James
Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois and Ben
nett Champ Clark of Missouri. Both
these gentlemen declared entirely un-
acceptable a suggested compromise fol-
attaching q reservation to the treaty
holding that If the United States Su-
preme court at any future time al
tered Its present order that the Chi
cagO diversion should be limited Il
1900 cubic feet per second after 1888
the altered Judgment Of the court
should automatically be enforceable
under the treaty.
The Mississippi valley people are es
pecially opposed to the surrender o.
the domestic sovereignty of the Unltet
States over Lake Michigan; and al
the members of the army board Of en-
gineers except the chief engineer hell
that the treaty provisions for diversion
at Chicago were inadequate.

CHICAG0'S milk supply was practi-

farmers Of that region who demand a

controversy was complicated by the
evident desire of the larger milk dis

drive out Of business the smaller con-
Germs that depend on cash and carry"
trade, and by the determination Of the
organized milk drivers not to accept
reductions in pay. The farmers, thor
oughly organized and ably directed,
and the temporary idle drivers commit
ted innumerable acts Of violence and
vandalism, almost with impunity. MIX
trucks were burned or dumped in the
river with their contents, and in at

 Huge Recovery Program Now Being Worked Out

New York, March 31.-Last month the treasury offered two new note issues as the second phase of the governments plan to raise $10,000, 100000 before June 30. The new notes totaled $800,00O,OO0, half of which will mature in 22 months and bear an interest rate of 1-2 per cent, while the other half will mature in three years and pay 3 per cent interest. As has been the case with all recent government financing the notes were quickly taken up. The gross public debt now stands at approximately $26,000, 900, 100, which is about $500, 100000 below the 1919 peak, states the current issue of the Guaranty Survey, pub- lished by the Guaranty Trust com- panyof New York.
 Government expenditures for the 1933-34 fiscal year up to February IT totaled $4,034,245,0O. the Sur vey continues, marking an increase of $826, 6,000,000 above those in the corresponding period last year. Of this total more than half represent ed outlays for emergency purposes to facilitate the recovery program.

Gold And Siluer Were Features Of Ma rket
Whole General List Fluctuated During the Week;
 Trading Was the Lightest for Many Months

American Smelling and Cerro do Pasco were sharply higher along with U. S. Smelting and the sil. yer market. Silver futures rose sharply on Thursday, but not sufTi- ciently to offset losses incurred earlier in the week.
 Coppers firmed with the other non-ferrous metals, and there was good demand for Patino (tin). Buying in the latter was said to be coming from foreign sources, notably British.
 Gains were noted in some of the utilities, mercantile issues, and chemicals. Rails barely held their own. Steels declined a point or so. Small losses were made by the oils although the latter were in good demand on Thursday with Texas Pacific Land Trust certificates &C., tive and strong.
 In the commodity markets small losses were made by New Orleans Cotton, silver futures, and cocoa futures. Grains were down to 2 cents a bushel. Silk lost more than 2 cents a pound. Rubber held about steady. Tin gained sharply. The dollar was featured by a sharp rise in the pound.
 Electricity output showed a gain of 17.6 per cent over the corre- spending, week of 1883, but the rise was smaller than in the pre- ceding week. However. the sea sonal index showed a rise. Steel operations dipped small amount and car loadings of the individual roads showed a decline from the recent pace. Commercial failures declined.
