CANADA SEAWAY Shall the United’ States’ and Canada build the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence seaway? Yes, asserts. Hanford MacNider, former United States minister to Canada, in the symposium in the current Rotarian Magazine. If a seaway is built, counters Frank L. Bolton, president of the New York State Waterways Association, it should be over the all-American route. A. Canadian point of view is expressed by B. M. Coghlin, president of The Montreal Board of Trade, who asserts the seaway is needed neither for transportation nor for power. ‘““Mid-continental (‘North America suffers from hardening of its transportation '‘arteries,’’ contends Colonel MacNider. ‘Here is a great natural water route—extending 2,687 miles from Duluth, Minn., jto the Atlantic Ocean. By constructing eight or nine locks, deepening connecting channels, and developing incidental power, the United States alone will extend’ its coastline 25 per cent and enable 88 per cent of the ships now entering its seaports ito go directly to more than two dozen Great Lakes cities.’ “T am not an alarmist, nor am I given to shadow boxing every time I hear a sword rattle.’’ declares Mr. Bolton, who favors the all-American route from Lake Ontario tto the Hud‘tNevertheless, the crises through which some nations have been passing have compelled pacificminded Americans—believers in international goodwill and understanding—to give more thought to national defense.’’ If the United States were embroiled in a twar, it would! need a waterway over which it could exercise complete control, he believes, maintaining that if a seaway is built, American money should be spent on American soil, where it will benefit American producers and consumers, American engineers and labor, Am-,» erican manufacturers of building materials. ° Presenting a Canadian’ viewpoint on the St. Lawrence project, Mr. Coghlin asserts that it is commercially amd ~ economically unsound, pointing out that to the extend that it would be successful it would divert sorely needed traffic from other transportation facilities. In Canada, he says, it would result in an inordinate tax burden without commenFRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1939.
