ANTWERP DEVELOPS
HIGH AMBITIONS
Desires to Become the Greatest
Seaport In the Whole
World.

Antwerp is one of the worlds greatest
ports. 1t wants to be the greatest of all
OF them. In furtherance OF this desire its
Chamber of Commerce has just unanim-
ously voted approval OF the Governments 3
scheme for a vast extension of its docks
and an Improvement and expansion Of its
canals. The cost of this plan Is fixed at
about $4O,0oo 900.
This looks like big sum to expend on
a city of less than 100000 souls in coun-
try of less than 100000 inhabitants
Antwerp has several thousand less fewer
people than Detroit, Milwaukee or Wash
ington. Belgium has about the popula-
ton of Pennsylvania. But Antwerp and
Belgium have played a big part in the
worlds history. Before Columbus sailed
from Palos across the sea Of darkness
Antwerp was the worlds commercial cap
ital. For centuries 1t had about the same
place In the financial world that London
has in that of recent times. Even now,
when 1t has long lost its ascendency as a
monetary center, Antwerp stands high on
the roll of the worlds ports. In 1904 the
tonnage of the biggest ports was 1s. 2O4 sSs
for Hongkong, 19.063,629 for London. 1S,-
III ,296 for Antwerp, II 1856, ia for New York
and 1865, ,7e2 for Hamburg.
Antwerps canal system is among the
best that any city has. The $40. .000. 600
which is proposed to be expended on 1t in
the next few years will improve it still
further and enable the city to make a
better fight in the race for supremacy
between IL and the other big ports New
York is destined to go to the head of the
list, but the Belgian port will make a
hard contest to hold its place. Hongkong
has not the actual supremacy that the
figures here given, which are cleaned
from a report of the Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington. would show.
Much of its shipping represents the en-
trance and the exit of vessels plying
between Europe and Asia which use that
port as temporary stopping place only.
London really heads the list. with Ant
werp only short distance behind and
New York but little way in the rear of
the Belgian metropolis. Antwerp Is a
very ambitious city and deserves the i'm
portant place which 1t holds among the
worlds ports.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
