is my opinion the House will also
approve the general idea carried
in these bills. In these times of
initiation our retired people and
their families are sorely pressed
to live on their retirement pay.
They have given years of able and
honest service in the Government
and have had go deducted from
their salaries to pay the retirement
premium. The fund is able to pay
some increase without raising de-
ductions from pay or further con-
tributions by the Government.

!R[SAMlS
REPORT
A-FROM WASHINGTON

The st. Lawrence SeaWay was
dealt a staggering blow by the
Senate. The vote was 43 to 40 to
shelve the Project at this time.
The House must share part of the
blame. The House Public Works
Committee has failed to give Men,
bers a chance to vote on the bill.
The legislation which the Senate
voted against would have author
lied the eventual spending of
$566, 100000 by the U. S. on the
combined seaway and eletric power
project. Canada has already mott
fled our country that she will go
forward with both the deepening
Of the waterway and the building
of the electric power plants. More
American capital has been invested
in Canadian corporations in the
past five years than the entire esti-
mated cost of building the SeaWay.
This means that business and COM
merce which should be kept On
this side of the Lakes is going to
Canada.
Social Security
Reversing its previous stand, the
House overwhelmingly passed a
bill increasing social security bene-
fits by minimum of $500
month. The Objectionable provi
sion was the one permitting the
Administrator to appoint either a
government or a private physician
to check the examination of those
applying for waiver Of premiums
on grounds of total and perman-
ent disability Under the amended
bill an individual will be consider
