Page Two News Review Events tl President Asks Senate to R Treaty., and Rattle Begi Troyanovsky Prese By EDWARD PUTTING to the test his Influence * over the senate. President Roosevelt In a special message to that hotly asked speedy consideration and rath fication of the St. Lawrence waterway treaty with Canada. V The opponents of the ^ W pact had been walting for I he chance to ^start the battle, and W lit they were so uuuierflg ous and so determined that no one would ki jgacu predict the outcome. h|j@P$ Uatiflcntion requires n ' ... two-thirds vote, or 04 Sen. Wagner (>f M s(.nators. Coincidental with the reception of the President's message was the submission of a minority report by Sen fttor Wagner of New York as a member of the foreign relations committee, in which Air. Wagner argued vigorously nganst ratification of the treaty. lie declared the cost of the waterway to 'lie United States would be $.173,130,000 instead of the $272.453,000 estimated by the proponents of the pact; and he asserted the United States would spend three times as much as Canada, though the Dominion would receive a "vast preponderance" of the benefits. The senator added: "Most important of all, I am not in favor of a public works project designed to employ Canadian workmen With United States* imuiev Tl... provides that although the United States is to supply the funds for most of the work in the International rapids section of the St. Lawrence river, the portion of this work on the Canadian side of the section is to be performed with Canadian workmen using Canadian materials." The President's message to the senate gave his opinion that the treaty was fair, that the waterway project was economically sound. lie declared that "local fears of economic harm to special localities or to special interests are grossly exaggerated." He attempted to dispose of opposition from Illinois and Mississippi valley senators by declaring that the treaty provision on the diversion at Chicago was adequate to guarantee a sufficient volume of water. The opposition of Chicago and the Mississippi valley to the treaty was voiced especially by Senators James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois and BenDett Champ Clark of Missouri. Both these gentlemen declared entirely unacceptable a suggested compromise for attaching a reservation to the treaty holding that if the United States Supreme court at ar; future time altered Its present order that the Chicago diversion should be limited to \500 cubic feet per second after 19118, the altered Judgment of the court should automatically be enforceable under the treaty. The Mississippi valley people are especially opposed to the surrender nf the domestic sovereignty of the United Stntes over Lake Michigan; and all the members of the army board of engineers except the chief engineer held that the treaty provisions for diversion at Chicago were inadequate. RECOGNITION of Russia was formally completed when Alexander A. Tfoyanovsky. the Soviet ambassador, arrived In Washington and presented his credentials ; to President Roosevelt 'jmfMMMfe at the White House. He brought with him 1 several members of the .embassy stafT and as soon as the diplo- F * A matic procedure had been completed he eagerly got down to fik work on the matters of trade relations, credits and other questions with the of- Ambassador flcials of the State Troyanovsky department. Mr. Troyanovsky was accompanied on his journey from Europe by William C. Bullitt, Amer'can ambassador to Moscow. -At the Washington station he was welcomed by Jefferson Patter^ son and Robert K. Kelley of the State department, and by Toshlhiko Take tonal, the Japanese charge d'affaires, a personal friend during the years when H Troyanovsky Was ambassador to To| tin.'

The controversy was complicated by the evident desire of the larger milk distributing companies of the city to drive out of business the smaller concerns that depend on "cash and carry" trade, and by the determination of the organized milk drivers not to accept reductions in pay. The farmers, thoroughly organized and ably directed, and the temporary Idle drivers committed innumerable nets of violence and vandalism, almost with Impunity. Milk trucks were burned or dumped In the river with their contents, and In at least one instance n train was stopped and robbed of a consignment of con- , densed milk. When the strike had lasted five days and the farm administration and Secretary Wallace had shown no disposition or ability to end It. Mayor Kelly arranged a truce and arbitration agreement and the shipping of milk to Chicago was resumed. EM RLE BAILIE, who has been actJ Ing as fiscal assistant to Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthnu. has resigned. and It Is no secret that his retirement was the Pr*co for the unopposed confirmation F 1 of the annolntment of I ^*98* **^r" Morgenthau by j the senate. Certain I members of the upper * i houso? SenaJ tor Couzens, let the secretary know that | tliey dhl not approve L Ip8 of the retention of Bullle, nnd MorgenEarle Bailie thflU toW them Ba|Ue had consented to help him temporarily and Intended to quit soon. So the fiscal assistant wrote a nice letter saying that he would have to get back to New York lo resume Ills work with the Sellgman firm of Investment hankers. It was Bailie's connection with the banking house that aroused the opposition to him. Senator Couzens had said openly that It was scandalous that there should be choser. for a high treasury post a partner of the Sellgman firm, whose flotation of loans to South American countries, now In default, was aired before a senate Investigating committee. One revelation was that the firm paid a "commission" of $450,000 to Juan Eegula, son of the president of Peru, In connection with negotiation of a loan to that country. SPEAKER RAINEY, after a conference at the White House, announced that President Roosevelt was making no out of town engagements for the period durine which mmrrooa | would be in session but would remain i at his desk until adjournment. He I added that the President hopes this ' will l?e early in the spring, as he believes the legislative program will be disposed of speedily. PLANS for the issue of $2,000,000,000 of farm bonds for the purpose of refinancing the national farm mortgage burden were got under way at the instance of the President, who sent to congress a special message on the subject. The bonds were authorized last year with a guarantee only of the Interest, but Mr. Roosevelt asked that both interest and principal be guaranteed in order that the bonds might be made readily acceptable to investors. The administration's bill also would increase to $800,000,000 the 8200.000.0tX) emergency funds established last spring for mortgage loans to farmers who cannot Teflnance their debts through the land banks. WITH only five votes In opposition, the government's liquor tax bill, which is expected -to "add *-*70,000,060 to the national revenue, was passed by the house of representatives. Not one ' of more than a score of amendments altering the tax fates was accepted by the house and the measure, as finally passed, carried the same rates originally recommended by the ways and means committee. A rigid requirement that air bottled liquor sold at retail most carry a -federal stamp showing the government tax to have been paid and indies ting the quantity and quality of- the 'contents was written l!t>fb" the Jdll by the ways and means oMualitfii at the la* aary department. At paaasd by tbe hewn, the bill Im t, Murphy, N. CM Friday,, poses a tax of $2 a gallon on distilled spirits. $5 a barrel on beer and from 10 to 40 cents a gallon on wine. When the measure came up in the senate the Democratic leaders were caught napping and Senator Clark of Missouri secured the adoption of two amendments that stirred up quite a row. The first provided for the placing of additional high tariff duties on wines and liquors from foreign countries that have defaulted on their war debt payments to the United States. The second change repealed that portion of the Iteed "bone dry" act prohibiting newspapers and periodicals carrying liquor advertising from entering dry states. At present such publications must make over and send out copies for dry territory with blank spaces in place of the liquor advertisements. Administration pressure was brought to bear and next day the vote on the first amendment was reconsidered and the change was rejected. The anti-cancellationists came to the front again when Senator Johnson of California obtained passage of his bill prohibiting the future purchase or sale of securities of, and loans to, any foreign government or subdivision which Is in default to the United States, or to any American bondholders. FN HIS efforts to save New York city | * from bankruptcy Mayer Fiorello II. I La Guardla asked the state legislature to pass a hill that would give hiin full control of the city's finances. But he *s3 ran Into a snag at Hp: once, for Governor E Lehman in a stinging letter told the mayor 1 he would never app prove such a measure m &? ?."w h I c h, he declared, | rv': would establish a fls. cal and political dic_ m tutorship that he considered entirely unMayo' La Guardla t I a 1 ly 'un-American. "No man in tills country has ever asked for or received the dictatorial powers which would he yours through the enactment of this bill," the governor wrote. Mayor La Gunrdln, who always has been a fighter, came hack with a letter that bristled with references to the evils of the situation confronting the city, the hopelessness of trying to get assistance from the board ot aldermen or putting piecemeal legislation through at Albany and accusations of { political maneuvering by the governor, j Later the governor and the mayor ' got together and worked out a com- i promise to reform the city's flnanclnl setup and balance the budget. Under : this program the mayor will not be j able to set himself up as sole dictator, with power to abolish Jobs and con- j solldate departments, but will have to share these powers with his fellow members of the board of estimate, j The mayor has only three of the six- j teen votes on the hoard, but his Republican-Fusion confederates hold an J additional ten votes and on the face of things, the mayor will be able to swing his plans Into effect. SIX navy seaplanes carrying 30 men made a nonstop flight from San Francisco to Honolulu, 2,396 miles. In 24 hours and 43 minutes. It was the longest mass flight over water ever made and Lieut. Comm. Knetler McGinnis and his men were entitled to the high praise they received from high officials of the navy. BY A 5 to 4 vote the United States Supreme court sustained the constitutionality of the Minnesota emergency mortgage moratorium ?aw which provides that, during the emergency ! declared to exist, courts might step in i to halt or delay real estate mortgage i sales and extend periods of redemp- J tlon.

Washington.?The Supreme court upheld as constitutional the iMinnesota law establishing a moratorium on mortgage foreclosures in the state. The ruling was the first to come from the court on legislation passed to meet the emergencies of the depression and was regarded as a test of the court's attitude toward such measures. In addition to being an important ' test of the power of the states to ' resort to drastic action in an emer- j geney, the case was believed to estnb- ; lish a precedent for similar leglsla- ; tion in many states which may face ' a Supreme court challenge. Chief Justice Hughes in the opin | Ion went into a prolonged discussion i of emergency power inherent in the federal Constitution. "Emergencies do not create powers not otherwise contained in the Constitution," Hughes said. "The Constitution itself was adopted in n period of grave emergency. "IJut emergency may furnish occasions calling for the exercise of power and may furnish occasion for the use of powers already in existence." Hughes noted that no one questioned that war powers were in the Constitution. although they were not resorted to except in times of hostility. The ruling provoked a violent dissent from a minority headed by Justice Sutherland. He said that few more vexing questions had come before the court in his generation. A dissenting opinion, he said, was necPSSII rv l?a<?nnc<J (\f piling further inroads on Constitutional rights. Up was joined in the dissent by other members of the regular conservative bloc?Justices Van Devanter, Mclteynolds and Butler. The alignment in favor cf the use of emergency power included Hughes and Justices Brandeis, Stone, Roberts and Cardozo. WASHINGTON BRIEFS President Roosevelt nominated Waiter M. W. Splawn, former president of the University of Texas, to the interstate commerce commission. The President also advanced William W. Howes of South Dakota to he first assistant postmaster general and named Harliee Branch of Georgia to succeed him as second assistant postmaster general. Hugh S. Johnson approved a modification of the automobile code which will permit the motor plants to work their employees 40 hours, instead of the original 35 hours a week fixed by their codes. Earl Bailie, partner in the J. & W. Seligman investment firm and target of senatorial inquiries and criticisms, resigned as fiscal assistant to Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthnu. The NRA national compliance board cited Edward T. Jones. Kansas City wholesale and retail dry cleaner, to the federal trade commission for al leged prlre cutting In violation of the cleaning code.

We are aware, of course, that Lord North muddled the business and that I Rtirke devoted to that iv ddlc many fine passages of English oratory. We are aware that after many protracted transactions the Colonies declared j their independence and that the BritJ ish government, with a line gesture of fair-mindedness and liberalism, granted them that independence. We have heard it whispered, even, H that in the Interval which elapsed between this net of spontaneous generosity and the original difficulty at Boston, some minor military operations occurred. There was a slight Incident, we have been told, at a place called Bunker's Hill, and another regrettable occurrence at a place called Yorktown.
