Mr.. Markheim said he gave his

to tipping up Mr.. Bridges with the

@OTTAWA, Canada. Aug. 18.-f
Canada signs the treaty proposed by
the United States for the Great Lakes
St Lawrence waterway she undoubt-
edly will not place it before her Legis-
1Ature until the United States Senate
has approved it.
EOfficials here are wondering whether
the Senate would give its approval.
They are thinking of It's rejection OF
the similar treaty of 1882.
], But they believe the new treaty, if
signed by both parties, will have a
better chance in the Senate than did
the old one. They hope New York's
previous opposition will change, be-
cause concessions to that State in the
form Of Niagara power developments
6re included in the new treaty.
( Ontario Feeling Better.
: A tour OF the focal points of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence project has
disclosed that there is a much better
feeling in the Province of Ontario
toward the treaty than in the Province
Of Quebec.
J The Province of Ontario believes
that great benefits would accrue to
the province and to the Dominion as
4 whole. The Ports of Toronto, Ham,
fton and Kingston are busy shipping
POINTS because of the Welland Canal.
which opened the Great Lakes into
Lake Ontario and the st. Lawrence.
Experts to whom the writer talked
were of the opinion that Ontario now
has sufficient hydroelectric power, but
that she will feel the need of addi-
tional power about 194l or 1912. The
Great Lakes-St Lawrence project could
not be completed in less than seven
pears.
The Welland Canal, built at cost
Of S130,000,000, is one of the finest ex-
amples of canal construction in the
world. A book could be written on
the influence it has had on the de-
velopment of Canada and Western
United States.
Welland Canal Included.
The Welland Canal is included in
the draft treaty presented Canada by
the United States but even the nom
technical visitor could see that COM
paratively little work has to be done
to reach the treaty depth of q feet.
It is now Is feet deep and the locks
have sill depth Of 30 feet. Dredging
alone should serve to increase the
depth sufficiently. ....
At Thorold are the great twin fight
locks where 1.-The steamships climb the
mountain" by giant steps up 13sl2
feet the height Of a 13-story building.
The 32612 feet difference in level be-
tween Lake Ontario and Lake Erie Is
overcome by a total of seven locks.
BY the proposed treaty Canada has
been given a credit for the $4,000
900 spent on the Welland Canal. This
places the United States in the posi-
ton of paying for virtually all the new
development planned-but the whole
project would be of little use without
the Welland Canal.

Entente powers are still busy with
the draft Of . satisfactory collective
declaration. This document, it is pre-
dicted, will incorporate a reservation
to the effect that 1t Is delicate
matter to meet Hungary's demands
because Czechcslovakia Is reluctant
to concece greater minority rights
than Ruriania and Yugoslavis. 1t Is
likely, therefore, that the final text
Of the joint declaration win emerge

State Department officials inter-

sion Of the Monroe Doctrine to Canada.
Hitherto the famous doctrine has
been interpreted as applying solely to
the Latin-American republics. II
states the United States determination
to oppose aggression by an outside
power in the Western Hemisphere.
When the doctrine was originally
stated by President Monroe December
2, 1923, Canada was merely colony
of Great Britain. Monroe's declara-
ton excluded the colonies already
established in the Western Hemisphere
by European powers.
Now, however. Canada has become
an independent dominion, with its own
foreign Office and diplomatic repre-
sentatives abroad.

Proposed Naval Expenditures Doom
Hopes For World Disarmament

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (UP)-
President Roosevelt's announcement
that next years naval expenditures
will be increased to new peace
time high today doomed any hope
yet held by officials for a reduction
in ornaments.
Many officials for some time have
seer no immediate prospects of an
international conference looking to
disarmament with the European sit

activity in the Sino-JapaneSe con-
flict, they were understood to be-
lieve the time inopportune for such
discussions now.
Mr.. Rcosevelt's announcement
was made at his press conference
late yesterday. He said that rather
than retard the national defense
program the United States would
speed it up and that an increase of
$150,000,000 in next years naval
budget would be necessary to carry
on new warship construction.
Such an increase would bring the

EICentro Council
Undecided About
Contract

The Ell Centro city council
has reached no decision rela-
tive to the street lighting pro-
posal submitted to the coun-
ell by the Nevada California
Electric corporation, Mayor H. w.
Fawcett indicated Wednesday,.
'Many phases of the matter have,
I believe, been misunderstood by the
public at large" he said. For some
time the city has been faced with
the need of providing additional
lights in dark areas that have re-
Gently been built up and in alleys
of downtown sections for police
protection. In addition, it was
deemed advisable to increase the
illuminating powers of existing
overhead street lights
'The city council requested pro-
poSals from both the Nevada-Elec-
trio corporation, who own the over
head lighting system and the I'M
perial Irrigation District covering
the proposed increased illumination
and additional lights. No decision
will be made until all phases OF
both proposals have been carefully
examined and the best interests OF
the city of Ell Centro determined. :"
"The city eXpends more than
$4,000 for electrical power of which
)nly 25 per cent is used for over
head street lighting. Since it ap-
,ears to be the unanimous opin-
ion of the city council that district
power should be used as soon as
it is available, this means that
in any event rs per cent of the
load would be reserved for the
district, and only the overhead
lighting system now owned by the
power company is under consider
alton in these proposals"
Asked what he thought the final
outcome would be, Mayor FaWcett
said it was possible there would be
no necessity for a Nevada -Califor-
lia contract on the present over
head lighting system and that the
district might be able to provide
the extensions for new lights con-
templated by the city.

largest second half expansion in
more than decade, but the figure
for the full year will be we'll below
those of 1886 and 1887.
All major lines Of business have
improved substantially from the
years lows and economists and
businessmen estimated today that
the final three months would be
marked by further recovery. In
creased industrial activity has been
reflected in employment. Current
estimates are that more than one
million persons have gone back to
work in the past five months.
Economists for the Alexander
Hamilton institute believe that ma
tional income produced in the last
six months of 1888 may reach $780,
600,000000, compared with $25, AGO.
900 900 in the first six months when
the total was the smallest since
1884.
On that basis the years total of
,00,000,000 would compare with
100000 last year, highest
since the 1929 record of $81, 1913, ,000,-
600, with $63, ,466, 100000 in 1886
and with S55, ,186, 100000 in 1885.
The showing for the final half
would be considerably better than
anticipated early this year.
In May this year, according to
figures of the national industrial
conference board, II 1862 900 persons
were without jobs. Since then, more
than a million persons have gone
back to work and prospects are
for a continued rise.
Employment started its upswing
shortly after mid-year and by Au-
gust, the unemployed had been cut
to 10,590,000. September figures have
not yet been compiled but they are
expected to show relatively sharp
gain.
There is strong possibility, ex-
perts say, that unemployment by
the close of this year may be cut
to the 9,291, 900 level which pre-
vailed in the closing month of 1885.
In September 1887, only 5,65l 900
persons were jobless, the best Show
ing since 1882.
The federal reserve board this
week reported that its seaSonally
adjusted index of production in
September reached about 80 per
cent of the 1923-25 normal of 100,
the best level since the 102 was
reached in October last year. The.
post depression high of 121 was
set in December 1886, while the
recession low of 76 was recorded
last May In September last year
the index was III.
