 The allies realize that they aren't offering Russia much in return for German reunifica- tion, which they have coupled with an All-European security pact as the chief topic of the conference. They are saying You give up East Germany, and we1ll see to it that the uni fled Germany never attacks you"
 Russia is very likely to say 'sWhy give up East Germany when, as long as we have it, we can see to that ourselves"
 In that case. the allies have made it clear they intend to trade no principles, no part of their own strength such as West German utilization with NATO, for a dangerous decade a peaceful looking but non-ma- terial settlements.

 He had improved somewhat in a later flight, but except for brief flashes he still was a far cry from the Robinson of earl fer years.

Much TO BE Done
While attention is centered
right now on the work In the
international Rapids section,
there is much to be done on both
ends of this stretch before the
Duluth Montreal run Is an ac-
complished fact.
Canada has to make some
channel improvements - add
locks at Montreal and Iroquois.
deepen the Welland Canal be-
tween Lakes Erie and Ontario.
and do some dredging elsewhere.
In addition to the Long Sault
! Canal construction, the United
\ States has some rock shoals to
remove in the westerly Thousand
Islands section, and then must
clear up some Great Lakes bottle
Inecks.
| Chief Of these is the Detroit
River between Detroit and Wind
lsor which, with Lake st. Clair
and the st. Clair River, serves as
1.-The connecting link betw e en-
Lakes Erie and Huron.
Some work also is needed In
the 500 Canal area. where the
st. Mary's river ties Huron into
| Superior, and minor improve-
lment may be necessary ct the
Straits Of Mackinac which viii
become the passageway for sea-
way trafiic from Huron into
Lake Michigan and the heart Of
the Midwest.
Cost Over $l00 Million
These Lakes projects will cost
lin excess Of 500 million. They
got q green light from the House
lin the last Congress. The SEN
ate, however. has still to act
on the legislation.
The American Government
thus far has made but minor
financial commitments for the
seaway undertaking, with only
$lO5 million appropriated for
preliminary work. Canada Is ex-
lpected to spend twice as much
at the outset. because most of
the project lies In the Dominion.
Ultimately. with development
Iof connecting channels and har-
bors and the building Of port

Iment may run into billions.
It Is intended to liqlidate the

The bridge was authorized
by the l949 Legislature at

promised that, as q toll
facility, 1t wouldn't cost the
taxpayers a cent.

spokesmen that the bridge
would be a failure as a self

Since 1t opened December

bridge have barely been

collecting them. Under
terms Of a bill sponsored by
