New York S Rights
To ST. Lawrence Safe,
Roosevelt Assures
Seowoy Program Won't
Involve Title Question,
President Declares
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
New York has the assurances of
President Roosevelt that its right
in the ST. Lawrence River will be
fully protected under plans for de-
velOpment of the power and naviga-
ton resources of the stream.
The Chief Executive told reporters
- his press conference yesterday
that the program for development of
the S285 100000 st. Lawrence seaway
was being worked out so the ques-
ton of title would not arise.
The question was raised during
hearings before the House Rivers
and Harbors Committee, when some
members objected to legislation
authorizing the st. Lawrence pro-
gram which would turn over the
power to the New York State Power
Authority in return for S93.375 900
to be paid to the Federal Gov
ernment over a period of so years.
They contended this constituted a
surrender of the Federal Govern
ment'S rights to the State.
President in Predicament.
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman of New
York and 1t. Gov. Charles Poletti
both asserted New York's right to
ST. Lawrence power, and the PreSi-
dent laughingly told reporters he
was in a terrible position on the
issue.
He recalled that when he was
Governor he also asserted the State
had title to the bed of the St. Law
renee as far as the middle. of the
stream. Now that he is President,
he said the shoe is on the other
foot and because of his previous
arguments is precluded from saying
the State does not have title.
Hearings to End Soon.
Meanwhile. the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee planned TO wind up
public hearings on the legislation
next week. The hearings have been
in progress since June IT,
Adoption of motion to conclude
the hearings on August 6 brought
protests from Republican members
and charges of gag rule" from Rep
resentative Bender, Republican, of
Ohio, seaway opponent.
Representative Bender said the
resolution was put through under
orders from the administration" to
shut off opposition witnesses.
The President reiterated at his
press conference that the st. Law
renee development was being
planned as part of the national
defense program.

Price Control

Congress to make" one said. lis
whether they are willing to risk the
hardships and vicissitudes of in

than accept a controlled economy"
S30,OOO,O0O Spent Daily.
In building his case for quick
enactment of effective legislation.
the President outlined the circum-
stances now precipitating the inf1a-
ton threat, the consequences of such
development and the clear indica-
tions that the movement already is
under way.
At the present time. he said, daily
defense expenditures are exceeding
S30,000,000 This rate. he added,
must and will increase"
Mr. Roosevelt also described to-
days price situation as "frightfully
similar" to that of 1915, just before
a rise that amounted to 140 per cent
in less than five years.
Since August, 1889, he said, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics index of
the cost of living has advanced 5l2
per cent. Of this increase 3l2 per
cent has come since the beginning
OF this year. and between the mid
die of May and the middle of June,
alone, there was a jump of 2 per
cent.
Pressure Called Intense Now.
The upward pressure is now
intense" he said. In 1915, the up
ward price movement proceeded un-
checked so that when regulation was
finally begun it was already too
late. Now we have an opportunity
to act before disastrous initiation is
upon us. The choice is ours to make;
but we must act speedily"
Mr.. Roosevelt then recalled that
for the last II months there has
been an effort to maintain price
stability through voluntary cooper
alton of business and informal per-
suasiye control. Wide support has
been accorded this effort, he said,
but existing authority is indirect
and circumscribed and not always
applicable TO circumstances.
On the subject of housing and
rent control, the President pointed
out that the housing supply cannot
speedily be increased and that de-
spite steps already taken, we are
already confronted with rent in
cresses ominously reminiscent of
those which prevailed during the
World War. This is development
that must be arrested before rent
profteering can develop to increase
the cost of living and to damage the
civilian morale"
