There are repeated signs OF public
interest In waterways. Not only did
we have the Panama Canal project
constantly before our attention, but
the award OF contracts for the con-
struction of the New York barge canal
calls to mind the fact that the state
Of New York has committed itself to
a hundred million dollar waterway
which is now in process Of construc-
tion.
Numerous other waterways are dis
cussed from time to time, among
which are two leading classes Of pro
iects. The first of these is intended
to connect the Great Lakes with the
Mississippi River system, either by
way Of the Ohio at Pittsburg, or by
way of the Illinois River from Chicago
southwark, or from the head OF the
lakes to the upper Mississippi River.
The Cape Cod ship canal project was
talked of only few days ago as hay-
ing been revived by his promoters.
A deep water canal between New
York and Philadelphia on a much
more comprehensive scale than the
one now in use is occasionally referred
to. Another waterway connecting
the mouth of the Delaware River with
the Chesapeake Bay, saving hundreds
of miles of steaming and sailing be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia, is
annually urged before the rivers and
harbors committee of congress. The
deepening of the Dismal Swamp canal,
from Norfolk south to Newburne,
North Carolina, is frequently advocat-
ed on grounds Of naval advisability-
Along the Gulf coast movement is
now on foot urging an intercoaStal
canal which shall connect the mouth
of the Mississippi with that Of the
Rio Grande.
In the distribution of bulky raw ma
terials, keeping down the cost OF trans.
portation, is one of the most import
ant factors in industrial competition
This is true not only of localities with
lin the same nation, but also OF interna-
tional competition. The use of the
ocean in distributing raw materials al
a low cost per unit helps to level costs
Just as the use Of waterways within 3
nation helps to produce similar re
suit. The necessities Of international
competition require us to reckon witt
these factors ia domestic policy al
/ we'll, because any unnecessary incre
Iment of cost whether in transporta
tion, in manufacturing or in the ex
