Ottawa, April 11.--Characteriz- ing the St. Lawrence de t project as ome of the wi which Canada ever will faced, Premier King today intimated to ny wah ih projec Wa Syn ¥ ° t, and ex: pressed the viewéthat it was an une dertaking bound to be rried out at some time in the course of . North American development, It was the first intimation Par- laiment has had of the Premier's peprsonal attitude with respect to the enterprising pr posald to open up half a contineni .o ocean com- merce. The House listened in rapt at- tention as he definitely announced the agreement between the United States and Canada for simultan- . gous rélease next Monday night of international seaway correspod- ence, and declared that the dacu- ments then tabled would include Tuternational Joint Board of Eu- gineers' data, the £anveme Court power reference questions, Ordeys- 4n-Council, and everything calehl- ated to be of interest and service in debate and discussion, No Commitments, He Says In addition, the Premier gave the assurance that nothing in the nature of commitments had been made by Canada in its preliminary . seaway negotiations with the United States, The Government, he said, was carrying out negotiations with every possible degree of cau- "tion ,s0 as not to prejudice consid- ered judgment upon a proposal which the Prime Minister obvious- ly considered to be of momentous importance. The Premier made what may be regarded as a si¥nificant qualifi- cation in his eulogy of St. Law- rence development proposals when he said that he believed the plan had much to commend it "if cer- tain economic considerations can be satisfactorily met." My, Church's Resolution The Prime Minister's statement came at the conclusion of an af- ternoon's discussion upon the reso- th | John Millar lution of Thomas L. Church (Com- ) demanding ions" for a ited States nada. At the Premier's re- quest, debate was adjourned in view of the approaching tabling of international correspondence. While the House obviously did not accept the moment as legitimate oppor- tunity for full-dress debate on seaway proposals, seven members in all spoke to it. Four of them-- Messrs, Church, Hocken, Manion and Geary, all Ontario Comnserva- tives--warmly lauded the scheme. (Liberal Qu'Appelle, Sask.) endorsed it, but not as im- mediately practicable, while Her- mas Deslauriers, (Liberal, Mont- real). mildly ahposed development, recallng objections by engineers to the proposed plans. After advising the House of the comprehensive nature of the sea- way documents to be tabled, Pre- mier King informed Charles H. Cahan (Conservative, Montreal) that one or two questions had been added, at the request of the Proy- inces, to the Supreme Court power, ownership reference to be heard here on May 28. The questions had been framed jointly by Provincial and Federal authorities, He expect- ed the issue to be taken to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, Then, on the general is- sue of Great Lakes development for navigation, the Premier pro- ceeded as follows: "When the negotiations which have passed between the United States and Canada are tabled 1 think honorable members will find that no commitments have been made of a character which will in any way prove prejudicial to the Dominion or any Province, or to the influence of any idividual mem- bers in ths House, or any orzan ofl public opinion in this country. "The Governmet has taken from the outset the view that has heen expressed by many on this side of the House: that the St, Lawrencu project is one of the largest pro- jects with which this country has ever been faced, or is ever likely to face. And we have felt we should proceed with the preliminary nego- tiations with the utmost caution; not with haste, nor with undue def lay; but tq make progress in isi light of the importance of the pro ject and in a way which will en ahle public opinion gradually tc formulate and express itself, Deploves Premature Steps "I think it would be prejudicial to any project of such character THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1928 were premature steps to he taken which would arouse a doubt or fear in the minds of any section of Can- ada as to the wisdom of the course as 1 one that will come and one that much to commend if, considerations then we advancing cau- to be taken.

We will have an election in a few years, and 1 believe that within a few weeks we wil lhave at least a dec- laration from honorable gentle- men opposite that an agreement has heen negotiated dealing with this all-important matter. The poll- tical party which will take up this question in earnest will be in power in this country for a good many years, in my opinion, and I think we should be devoting all our energies to that end. "The great advantage of St. Lawrence River is that it is one of the great natural waterways to the sea, The cost should be divided hetween the two countries. It is a high-speed highway, avoiding long delays. We have engineering and commercial assurance of three facts: First, that it can he done, that it is practicable; second, that the cost would be less than any other route which has heen spoken of; and, third, that it would en- able the development of millions of horsepower, saving millions of tons of coal every year, Some say that it will be an economict failure and a waste of public money. The answer is that power will pay for the work."

The report was based on a study of juvenile delinquency, made dur- ing the past year in a congested portion of the borough of Man- hattan, New York. "Since misguided energy and the lack of wholesome spare time pur- suits are so often factors in juven- ile delinquency," the report said, "facilities for providing supervised recreation must be extended to reach every child in the area, in- stead of two in five, as it now stands. Private philanthropy will undoubtedly shoulder part of the additional burden but it is strong- ly urged that city authorities ac- cept responsibility for the program and that local residents sponsor it, using the schools and play- grounds for the purpose, "In areas of greatest delinquen- cy, well-equipped boys' clubs, un- der trained leadership and having modern employment and medical facilities, should be established through private philantrophy.
