 Hyde Park, N Y, Aug. 19.-UP) President Roosevelt returned to the summer White House for two weeks stay today after two speeches in Canada in which he CD called upon Canada to join the United States in developing the St. Law renee seaWay and (2) pledged the aid of the United States if Canada is ever threatened with foreign invasion. The Presidents special train arrived at 8:30 a. m.
 It was reported that Prime Min ister Mackenzie King, MT. Roose- velt's host yesterday, would soon visit MT. Roosevelt in Washington to discuss means of bringing to a head the treaty providing for joint development of the St. Lawrence which was refused ratification by the senate.
 Speaks at Dedication
 Mf. Roosevelt, dedicating the new international bridge thruogh the Thousand Islands yesterday after noon, spoke again for cooperative development of the St. Lawrence vallay, denouncing interests which he said would be glad to determine the economic fate of large area in both countries.
 A conception has been emerging in the United States which is not without certain magnificence," he said. This is no less than the conviction that if private group could control the outlet of the Great Lakes basin, the group would have monopoly in the develop ment of territroy larger than many of the great empires in history"
 Greatest Ambition
 NY. Roosevelt thus revived one of This greatest ambitions-the co-op- erative public and international de- velopment of the vast power and waterway potentialities of the St. Lawrence river from the Great Lakes to the sea. Canada and the United States negotiated a treaty for this development but the sen- ate refused ratification. The New York state constitutional convention this week rejected proposed con- Stitutional amendment that would have declared the states power re- sources the inalienable property of the people.
 Given Honorary Degree
 Earlier MT. Roosevelt had received an honorary degree from Queens university at Kingston, Ontario, where in an important foreign af- fairs pronouncement he had, in effect, extended the Monroe Doc urine to Canada. After dedicating the bridge, he crossed back into the United States by motor, boarded his special train at Clayton, N. Y, and arrived at his home here this morn- ing.
 He will hold a press conference today. Late this month he will re- turn to Washington and observers expected him to go into Maryland to speak in behalf of Rep. David Lewis seeking the Democratic sen- htorial nomination over the incum- bent, Willard Tydings whom MT. Roosevelt read out of the party on Tuesday. ...
 British Liked Speech
 London, Aug. 19-(UP)-President Roosevelt's speech on world affairs was praised warmly throughout Great Britain today as marking new step in emphasizing the essen- tial fellow-feeling among the demo- cratic nations. But it was evident that in some other countries the speech was not regarded with favor. British newspapers displayed the story most prominently. They fea- tured 1t above all other news, and every paper but the Times-which was believed to be awaiting inspired Government reaction-had editorials on it.
 But in Germany, not even the fact that the president had spoken lat Queens university in Canada yes- terday was published. In Italy two newspapers, Messagero and Popolo Di Roma, published United Press dispatches reporting the speech but made no comment on it.
 The newspapers here generally in- terpreted the presidents speech as they had done that of Secretary of State Cordell Hull Tuesday-a ten dency by the administration to veer away from complete isolation. But though they welcomed it, they wis., ualized the American people as de- termined to keep out of European entanglements. This did not pre- vent them from regarding 1t as of
