veloping their Internal waterways systems!
Here are some of the interesting facts with
which Mr.. Schieren confronts Mr. Hewitt
Every European traveller notices the two

Mr.. Hewitts assumption that a 'perma-

way to make the statement good is to build
up interior waterway competition In every
possible direction. Then we could rest
assured that the transportation rates in all
sections would be low, permanent and far
more satisfactory than now.
