first hurdle would be the signing of inter-
national treaties by Canada, the U.S. and
Mexico.
Beyond that, the project is both eco-
nomically feasible and can be accomplished
by existing technology, the engineers claim.
One minor consideration would be the blast-
ing of a tunnel 80 feet in diameter through
50 miles of the Rocky Mountains.
A Sen. Frank E. Moss of Utah,'chairman of
the Senate subcommittee on water develop-
ment, says the size of the project should not
deter its consideration. He added: “To per-

need a program as farsighted as the Louisiana

CHICAGO (Spl)—If it comes
to more than an occasional tit

aggression in Southeast Asia, it
is a sure bet that the city of
Chicago, once the stronghold of
the America First movement,
won't be taking any appease-
