And don't let me frighten you!
There is still a certain charm in

agreement covering the entire st.
Lawrence River-Great Lakes power
and navigation project for submis-
sion to the Canadian and United

Previous reports of recent negotia-
tions have stressed one stage of the
$500, 100000 project-that covering
power development in the interna-
tional rapids section of the st. Law
renee River-but spokesman for
the Canadian delegates said the en-
tire project, as great as or greater
than that which heretofore has been
before the two governments under
the 1882 treaty. was included in the
present draft. Belief was expressed
there was a possibility of an agree
ment within month.
"The whole navigation and power
project from Montreal to the head
of the Lakes will be covered in our
report" the spokesman said.

neering study of the international
rapids section near Cornwall, On

their political affiliations or the size

DR.. E. L. Thorndike, in an analy-

who buy newspapers still in large
measure buy them not as means of
entertainment but mainly for
the conventional features of a news
paper of the last half-century"
His analysis was published in the
Scientific Monthly.
1T is common to speak of the
newspapers of today as purely COM
mercial enterprises managed with an
eye to profits" the scientist de-
clared. ''The facts of the study sug-
gest that for most of the press of

BERLIN, Jan. 4-Upon the out

within France will depend the future
relationship of the Reich TO her de-

sources said today Of the latest re-

"If you read French press speeches
delivered in Vichy and Paris" they
said, you will observe that France
is in the midst of violent argument
concerning the future of French
policy.
I'VE don't doubt that the French
people desire cooperation with Ger
many. But there is also no doubt
that an influential clique within the
French government does not wish
this and attempts sabotage. For us,
a question of paramount interest is

Capt. Thomas F. Darcy, leader of

nounced the meeting today as the
radio chains studied the advisability
of using sound-proof booths for
their coverage of the event.
Capt. Darcy said he would ask
for a complete list of the marches to

added that no attempt would be
made to dictate their selections.

Capt. Darcy added that as far as
the Army Band was concerned, only
music in the public domain will be
used. Capt. William F. Santelmann,
leader Of the Marine Band, indicated
that all of his selections would be
taken from the list of B. M. I. tunes.
If the copyright fight isn't settled
before January 20, however, the
broadcasting chains may use sound
proof booths to make sure banned
tunes are not picked up by accident.
