CO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDKORD, OREGON 2 C- THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER S, 18S3 M1 TO i r c t d f. fa fi o w 11' S B' it a) fi II' U Is ol cl H ei H A; -A Progress Noted In Ratification Of River Treaty Washington-(UPI)-U.S. and Canadian negotiators are mak ing good progress in talks aim ed at eventual Canadian ratifi cation of the Columbia River Treaty, Sen. Mike Mansfield (D Mont.) said Wednesday. The Senate majority leader revealed that members of the International Joint Commission and senators from Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington had been meeting secretly in his office. "Negotiations are going along very satisfactorily between us and the Canadian authorises," he said. Mansfield sharply rejected suggestions that the United States give up hope of Canadian ratification and go it alone on plans for development of the Columbia river and its tribu taries. The latest suggestion that the United States move ahead on its own was made by Earl Coe, Washington State director of conservation. In Disagreement "I am in disagreement with Mr. Coe," Mansfield said. "We think that progress is be ing made," he said. "We do not want to see the fruits of our ne gotiations swept into the dis card." The Montana Democrat said U.S. officials were proceeding on the assumption that differ ences between Ottawa and the provincial government of British Columbia would be ironed out. The differences have blocked ratification of the treaty by the Canadian Parliament. The U.S. Senate approved it two years ago. Canadian External Affairs Minister Paul Martin also was expected to discuss the treaty with Secretary of State Dean Rusk during Martin's scheduled trip here late this week. The treaty would provide for joint development of the river and its tributaries to the benefit of both countries. It calls for the construction of three large stor age dams in British Columbia. Canada would be paid for down stream flood control benefits and for Increased power produc tion at U.S. dams resulting from better regulation of the river. Cash, Power Payments Compensation to Canada prob ably would take the form of cash payment for flood control benefits and the delivery of a block of power in return for benefits. Mansfield's comments drew the support of Sen. Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.) and sen. warren i. Magnuson (D-Wash.). Metcalf noted that Canadian permission was needed for construction of the $325 million Libby dam. The dam, if constructed as origin ally planned, would back water into Canada. Metcalf said he would revive an earlier proposal that the dam be built in two stages if an agreement with Canada is not reached. The first stage of the dam could be built without flooding across the border. "However, the mutual bene fits of the treaty are such that we should exercise patience for at least a few more weeks," Metcalf said. He noted that elec tions are being held this month in British Columbia.
