Pointing out that the overseas Dominions had stood on an equal footing with other nations at the peace conference, Sir Ggorge sald that all that is now left of the quasi-political ties which pound 'the Dominion to Downing Street were two ties, the final court of appeal to the Privy council, and the tie of & common govereign. There had been criticisms of the Privy council, but he hoped Oanada would not go so far as to abolish appeal to it.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 18.--The congressional commictee in charge of the bill to legalize Chicago's "water steal" from the Great Lakes is "framed," City Manager William R. Hopkins charged yesterday be- fore the convention of the Great Lakes Harbor Association here. Mr. Hopkins called upon the three hundred delegates representing ninety Canadian and American cities to take immediate action in oppos- ing the measure. Chicago hopes to legalize pump- {ng ten thousand cubic feet of wdter a second from the lakes through a drainage canal. The. supreme court ruled against the "steal," but Chicago now has its proposal before congress in a bil} drafted by Senator Medill MecCor- mick. Representative Voigt of Wiscon- sin also protested against the wat- erways bills. He said there was a guestion as to whether congress has the legal authority to lower the level of the lakes. Several attor- neys-general of the central states have given private opinions that such a step might be unconstitution- al, he said. Mr. Voigt urged that any com- pensating works constructed should protect all the lakes and all lake cities. *It ts questionable whether any compensating works can be built to protect the lake level," Mr. Vogit said, "but if they are to be balit they should be bulit by the United States government for the benefit of the people and not by the city of ple of Chicago." C. M. Farris, of New York, .declared there was mo similarity detween the proposed canal and the New York state barge canal. The New York canal returms water taken from the lake, whera- as the contemplated Illinois canal would take out water permanently. he said. = Resolution of Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 16.--Dele- gates from practically every port on the Great Lakes to-day closed a two-day's protest meeting against Chicago's diversion of water from the lakes with the adoption of a resolution calling for action by the federal government to improve the situation and avoid danger to lake navigation. The resolution of pro- test will be wired to the depart- ment at Washington. The secretary of war is requested to urge Chicago to instal] a modern system of sewage disposal in Chi- cago districts.
