' They have known for some time, through trade channels, so to speak, E that the Canadian government was not particularly interested in more power from the St. Law-- " rence. Actually, the Canadian gov ernment proposed another source dor power some time back. It pro posed to tunnel under a mountain, just south of Hudson A bay, and divert the flow of a river now emptying into Hudf h son bay southward, so that eventually its water would find its way into Lake 7i tea V Ontario. This would not only provide an excellent power site, IXbe President but the diversion ''Would result in more water at Niagara falls, and in the rapids below ithe falls.

It was this last suggestion that rworried the White House. The President was afraid that if Canada more power from her own 'development in this tunnel and river 'diversion project, and also had the right to use more water for power at Niagara falls, it might be more difficult to interest the Canadian government in the St. Lawrence project. So Secretary of State ..Cordell Hull informed Ottawa that ' this government regarded the whole 'thing as one project, and would not Tnake any advance agreements. In short, this government is not willing to permit Canada to have the full benefit of her scheme to divert waiter from the Hudson bay, where it 'is useless, to Niagara falls, where J it would be a very useful, unless goes along with Washington on J the St. Lawrence project.

Hope for St. Lawrence Waterway, International Problem for 20 Years It would infinitely prefer some cheaper way of getting what little additional power It needs to going into such a magnificently expensive project as the St. Lawrence. Lat- est estimates are that the cost of the St. Lawrence project would be $272,453,000 for the United States and $270,976,000 for Canada. That is big money, even in the United States. It looks bigger in Canada, where the number of taxpayers is smaller. Especially as there is no crying need for the additional pow- er in Canada. New Wheat Quota Stirs Spring Wheat Growers Northwestern hard spring wheat growers and farmers north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi, who raise wheat regardless of in a necessary rotation cycle, price both threaten Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace's new wheat quo-ta system. Neither group feels that it can ac- cept reductions on planting, though they might accept the quota reduc- tions if they could work it by mow- ing enough grain in each field be- fore it becomes ripe to bring their total acreage down to the quotas, Experts object here that this would not actually reduce production very much, as the farmers naturally would very carefully mow only the bad spots, and there are always enough bad spots in a field to per- mit compliance with any reasonable quota restriction if they were elim- inated.
