Kellogg of the United States and Premier Mackenzie Xing of Canada. The despatch says they 'held an important conference discussing various problems affect- ing the two countries' and con- tinues: "It is understood that the two statesmen went over the old prob- lems long bothering both coun- tries--The St. Lawrence water. way and Chicago drainage canal, Mr, Kellogg agreed that Canada ought to have a right to all water power developed on the Bt. Lawr- ence where the river runs through wholly Canadian territory and that the two countries should share the power equally where the river runs between them. Mr. Kellogg also agrees the United States slope should deep- en great channels to provide for a passage of ocean going vessels and pay an appropriate cost of al international construction. Mr. King believes that a large part of Canada is not ready for the &t. Lawrence development, having no immediate use for the power and fearing also that fit would be detrimental to influential Montreal and Quebec.
