PICKARD UNITED STATES and Canada have Blgned the treaty for construction of- the great St. Lawrence Law-rence seaway, whlcb Is to cost In the neighborhood of $800,000,000, bur the pact must be ratified by congress and the dominion parjiauient before oecoming enecuve. 6-L 1 Ratification Is prob- l means certain. There are various parts of the treaty to which grave ob- W.D. Herridg. Jectlons have been raised, notably those relating to division of power to be developed, and withdrawal of water from Lake Michigan for the Chicago sanitary canal. These and all other phases of the pact will be Investigated by a senate commit tee headed by Senator Borah of Idaho. The Inquiry will not start until August. The treaty, which has been under un-der negotiation for eleven years, wa.s signed by Secretary of State Stim-son Stim-son for the United States jwl 'Mid-Ister 'Mid-Ister William D. Herridge fftr Caa ado. By Its terms the seaway Is to be constructed under the supervl-. supervl-. sion of commission to be known as the St. Lawrence International ... rapids section commission. Five members are to be appointed by each country and the work Is to be carried on free from governmental Tarred tape and on a business basis. . The commissioners will not hnvethe right to direct construction of the power plants to develop 2,200,000 horse power, although they can coordinate co-ordinate these with -the seaway. They can order deferred any works. When their Job Is done they cease to exist as a commission. POLITICAL-riots and murders In Prussia resulted in the establishment-of a dictatorship for that German state and the declaration of martial law In Berlin and the province of Brandenburg. Bran-denburg. In three weeks more than a hundred persons had been killed and 1,200 wounded In pre-election c a m-palgn m-palgn encounters, which were mainly between nitler's Nazis and the Communists. Com-munists. President Von Ilindenburg therefore Issued the Gon. Kurt von Schleicher necessary emergency decree and Chancellor Von Papen became virtual vir-tual dictator of Prussia, naming Mayor Frans Bracht of Essen as chief assistant. When Prussian Minister of the Interior Severing declared de-clared he would yield only to force, the decree of martial law was Is sued. Premier Braun and Severing were removed from the Prussian ministry. Open air political meetings meet-ings had already been forbidden throughout the reich. That Germany faces revolution Is seen In the flat threat by Hitler that if his Nail party does not win control con-trol of the relchstag In the coming com-ing elections It will forcibly seize control of the government and arrest ar-rest all Socialist and Communist leaders. According to an Amstetr dam newspaper, Gen. Kurt . von Schleicher, minister of defense, will co-operate with i.lLtler. The general. It has been recognized for some time. Is planning to make himself IfJtM'itlhleajimLjuJfiiL of jGcp. many. The Amsterdam journal also, says Former Crown : Prince Friedrlch WJlhelra recently visited the ex-kaiser ex-kaiser In Doom to discuss plans for a coup d'etat after the elections. The scheme Is to form a new government govern-ment with the ex-crown prince as leader to brlng-WUhelm back from exile In a German warship and to restore th regime of the house of Ilohenzollern. Uitler. the paper says, will herp, but will not participate In the government. JN ONE of Its most Important decisions de-cisions the Interstate commerce commission approved a plan for consolidation of all eastern rall-. rall-. roads, except those of New England. Eng-land. Into four great systems. The plan will probably be accepted by the lines concerned, though It does not suit them In certain respects. The four systems will be known as the New Tork Central the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore A Ohio, and the Chesapeake i Ohio-Nickel riate. The systems thus created will embrace 87.000 miles of rail lines 300 roads, though many of them are already operated by the large trunk lines. The commissions' ruling caused-' caused-' an immediate reaction approaching jubilation in railroad circles, which hailed the plan as the most belpfnl factor lq that industry la 12 years. In fact, as the report pointed out of Current World Over the leading railroads have received virtually all that they have asked for in order to work out a new pr.n of -economies. PI! ESI DENT HOOVER signed the relief act but still had to com plete his plans for reorganization of the Reconstruction Finance corpor at ion which Is . to handle the huge fund. In doing this he had to decide de-cide on successors, to Eugene Meyer, governor of the federal reserve board, and Paul Bestor, farm loan commissioner, whose retirement as directors of the corporation was made mandatory by the measure. The corporation Itself decided to discard red tape to expedite loans from the $300,000,000 for state relief re-lief of destitution and $322,000,000 for public works, the latter Includ Ing $132,000,000 which may be used! to match state highway expenditures.. expendi-tures.. More than two-thirds of the $300,000,000 sum will be applied for Immediately. . GETTING Into action rather more swiftly than their rivals, the Republican campaign leaders at Chicago headquarters started the preliminary work for the election elec-tion of 12 United States senators In the central states. The plans-are tin-der tin-der the direction of Senator L. J. Dickinson Dick-inson of Iowa, keynoter key-noter In the national nation-al convention. "We are going to concentrate con-centrate on the senatorial tights," Sen. Dickinson he said. "Where a stronger . In his state. senator Is than the President, we'll expect him to carry the whole ticket, and vice versa." Senator Dickinson said the prohibition pro-hibition question ' would be the principal Issue In many states, the people having to decide whether the Eighteenth amendment shall be repealed outright, as the Democrats Demo-crats desire, or replaced by another anoth-er amendment giving congress con troi of the liquor traftic, the Republican Re-publican solution. On August 11 President Hoover will be officially notified-of his nomination and will deliver his speech of acceptance at the White House. He has decided not to make a western trip this summer, but will send Vice 'resident Curtis to represent him at the opening of the Olympic games.
