...baby left on Franklin Roosevelt's Albany doorstep by Alfred Emanuel Smith, and which he has come to cherish, is the projected hydro-electric power development on the St. Lawrence in New York State. The President prodded the matter along last week by urging the Senate to pass the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Deep Waterway Treaty with Canada, necessary preliminary step before any dam can be built...
