ton and was in a region where so
much work relief was not needed. But
Mr.. Roosevelt, whose Campobello sum-
mer cottage is near the location of
the proposed dam site, is said to be
personally interested in the project,
believing it will bring new industries
to the area.
Anyhow, this big Maine project is to
go ahead, and Maj. Philip B. Fleming
of the army engineers corps has been
chosen to take charge of the construc-
ton. Major Fleming has been serving
in the PWA for some time but has
been released for this Eastport work.
IN ADDITION to the Passamaquoddy
project, calling for $10,O00000, about
q billion dollars in work-relief allot-
ments were given verbal approval by
the President, these having been favor
ably passed by on by the allotment
board. Included in this program are
extensive rivers and harbor works
throughout the country, and $780,
100000 integrated works program for
Wisconsin. The latter was planned by
Senator La Toilette and his brother,
Governor La Toilette, and approved by
the administration.
These initial allotments will put
lot of men to work in short time, for
the plans for many of the projects al
ready are complete. Mr.. Roosevelt
pointed out that % to so per cent of
the work-relief funds to be spent in the
various states would go out through
mandatory allotments to such units as
the CCC, highway construction and
Embarrassing elimination. Funds for
these expenditures were earmarked in
the bill.

established pay rates under the $4,-
$4,000, 900 work-relief measure, dividing
the country into four sections in set
ting regional wages Pay will range
from $40 a month for unskilled labor
ers in the South to 1914 month for
professional and technical workers in
the East. The wages will be from 20
to 80 per cent below the prevailing
wage rate structure throughout the
country.
D EICHSFUEHRER HITLER, APP
IN pearing before the reichstag, out
lined a 10 point program for disarm-
ament and the improvement of inter-
national relations. and did it so well
it cannot well be ignored by the other
nations of Europe. He again rejected
the resolution of the League of Nations
council condemning him for the re-
arming of Germany, but said Germany
might return to the league if that body
divorced itself from the principles of
the Versailles treaty and from the
psychology of victors and vanquished"
and "after Germany is granted full
equality rights, extending to all func-
lions and privileges in international
life."
To the great satisfaction of Great
Britain, Hitler promised to respect the
territorial clauses of the Versailles
treaty, which, he said, could not be
modified by unilateral action. He de-
clared Germany was willing to sign
non-aggression pacts with all her neigh
bors except Lithuania, and to agree to
an arms embargo If others would do
the same. Also the reich is ready to
sign an air convention experimenting
the Locarno pact.
