To Agree on Detail
In that connection Mr. Hoover re
cently informed his rival for ; trie
presidency in November Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New York
that federal authorities would' con;
fer with these of tho Interested states
to agreo on details onco the treaty fs
finally effected.
As to diversion of water from Lake
Michigan upon the nine foot water
way from Chicago to the Mississippi,
the president was assured by tho war
department that the treaty provides
sufficiently for maintenance of tliat
waterway.
Tho treaty question has been hanging
fire for eleven years, and officials es
timate that onco the agreement is In
completo effect It will take probably
ten years to construct waterway.
During the time, Mr. Hoover Bald,
"normal growth of traffic in tlio na
tion wilt for more than compensate
for any diversions from American, rail
ways and other American port fa
cilities." Seven years Is estimated by thi
engineers as a reasonable time for
completing the work . f ,
