1t is. our good fortune to be able, at
a low cost, to give an interior mouth,
in addition to its present exit to the
ocean, to every navigable river be-
tween Cape Cod and Florida. and
between Florida and the Rio Grande:
and thus to connect all these water
courses by means of ship canals that
will be safe from invasion by any
foreign power and from the dangers
of ocean navigation.
In these channels, now almost
completed by the hand of Nature, it
will be found that our naval de-
fences will be strengthened by war
vessels of light draft, that will enable
us to dispense with many great ships
of war that would otherwise be
necessary even for coast defenses or
to preserve sea power that would
equal, if it will not dominate, that OF
the greatest maritime powers"

A GLIMPSE DOWN THE PROPOSED WATERWAY

benefits" commented Mr.. Small, 'and
the Industrial and commercial de-
velopment which would accrue from
the construction of these waterways
and in which benefits the whole
country would share"
Heretofore little progress has been
made toward securing the appro-
priations of government money neces.
sary to pay for the vast amount OF
digging, dredging and damming that
must be done before these plans can
be made realities. Recently, how
ever, new tactics have been adopted.
Cooperation has become the watch
word. Bodies like the interstate
inland waterway league of Texas and
Louisiana, other waterways associa.
tons, boards of trade, commercial
clubs, etc., are going into the move
ment headed by the national rivers
and harbors congress, which has
made the establishment of liberal
policy toward waterways improve
ment the reason for it's existence.
This congress hopes to secure the
passage of an annual river and har
Dor bill carrying at least $56,000,000
Congressman Ransdell, chairman of
the executive committee of this or
ganization, himself member of the
committee on rivers and harbors OF
the house of representatives, Chair
man Burton, and other members of
that committee, all of whom have
given hearty endorsement to this
movement, have repeatedly pointed
out that the advantages of river and
harbor improvement are to the com
merce and industry of the country
as a whole, and that all sections,
those remote from waterways as well
are vitality interested in putting these
means of transportation in the best
possible condition.
Some idea of the expectations OF
commercial advantages attached to
the completion of these coastal ca
nails may be gained from the state
ment put forward by advocates of
the canal projected along the Texas
and Louisiana shore that this alone
would bring about an annual saw
ing of freight charges amounting to
lbs 200 and that " would cause an
increase of population in these states
from 100000 to 30,O00,000. For
the canal from Norfolk to Beaufort
Inlet the claim is made by the com
mercial bodies interested that 1T
would mean annual saving to the
commerce between Baltimore and
Jacksonville of s5,000,000 and that
the commerce affected amounts to
$500, 900 tons of the value of 1925
600, 900. For the Cape Cod canal,
II is estimated that it would pay 10
per cent on an investment of 10000
900 to the private interests projecting
it's construction. and that more than
10 .000.O 900 tons of freight a year
would be transported by this route.
OF the proposed waterways as
means of national defense there has
been no more earnest advocate than
Senator Morgan Of Alabama. Such
is the confguration OF the coasts OF
the Atlantic and the Gulf OF Mexico"

from port to port the varied products

from the interior, conveying them to
ships at the deep water ports for
trans-oceanic transport, or, as raw
material, to the manufacturing GEN.
tiers of this country, and bringing
from these centers along the shore,
to coast towns and up rivers, their
manufactured products for distribu-
ton. Then paint in broad outlines
the developments involved in these
plans, described by their advocates
as gigantic in their effects, yet COM
paratively simple and inexpensive Of
execution.
Tracing this proposed chain OF
coastal waterways from their begin
ming near the northeastern extremity
of the United States, we find first a
projected ship canal across the pen
insula that connects storm-swept
Cape Cod with the mainland. Since
the days of the Pilgrims, when trad
ers trudged across this neck of land
on their way to New Amsterdam,
there has been talk of this canal.
Congressman McNary of Massa-
chusetts has introduced several bills
providing for the survey of a route,
and, anticipating the government. a
private company backed by promi-
nent capitalists has been reported
ready to go ahead with its construc-
ton.
Long island sound and the waters
around New York afford a protected
passage to Raritan bay and river. 1t
is proposed to connect Raritan river
with the Delaware river, either by
enlargement of the present canal or
by a new route. At the last session
of congress a survey was ordered
looking to the purchase and enlarge
ment by the United States of the
Delaware and Chesapeake canal.
With this ship canal completed, the
chain of waterway will thus have
reached Chesapeake bay. Thence 1t
is to run from Norfolk by means OF
canal. for which route has been
surveyed, and by way of the Sounds
of North Carolina to Beaufort Inlet,
thus obviating those foes to mariners,
Cape Hatters and Diamond shoals.
Nature has largely provided pro-
tected way south from this point to
Jacksonville, Fla, running via VIII
mington on to Cape Fear, Winyah
bay. Charleston and Savannah.
Only slight excavation and deepen.
ing of existing channels remains to
be accomplished on this section OF
the route. From Jacksonville a
canal has been projected across the
peninsula of Florida to connect with
the Gulf of Mexico. In the southwest
a great movement is gathering
strength to urge upon the national
government the construction OF a
canal seven hundred miles in length
from the Rio Grande along the coasts
of Texas and Louisiana to the mouth
of the Mississippi Senator Nor
gan of Alabama has further forecast
the extension Of this canal via
Mobile and Pensacola bays TO Florida

of water by connecting with the cut
