ATLANTIC WATERWAYS
Norfolk Convention Opens Amid En-
thusiasm For Four-Dsys' Discu..
sion

zion.
NrIiolk, Va, Special. With ovar
three hundred delegates in attendance
representing practically every State
on the Atlantic Seaboard, the second
annual convention of the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association open
ed here Wednesday morning for a
session of four days with Friday set
apart for visit and address by tho
President of the United States. The
convention, amid great enthusiasm,
was called to order by its president,
Congressman j. Hampton Moore of
Pessylvania, and the delegates were
welcomed by Mayor James G. Rid
dick of Norfolk.
Mayor Riddick's address of. well
come was responded to by Con-
gresham W. w. Cocks of New
York. on behalf of the delegates from
the Northern States, and by Repres-
entative Charles r. Thomas of North
Carolina on behalf of the delegates
from the Southern States.
Representative Thomas, pointing
to the hazardous coasts of Capes Cod
and Hatteras, called attention to the
great dangers to which Atlantic coast
wise shipping is subjected, with no al
ternate inland waterways for protec-
tion to this class of commerce.
I'VE, of the South declared Mr..
Thomas. "are not only ready to unite
with you of the North in unceasing eff
forts for the consummation of this
great inland waterway but we are
ready to unite with You in the de-
velopment of great commerce that
will bind the sections so closely that
sectionalism will be forgotten as if
it never existed.''
President Moore, in his address
took the general ground that the de-
mand for an equitable and compre-
hensive plan of waterway develop
ment as IT affected transportation was
a problem which. since the passage of
the new tariff bill had taken rank as
OF equal If not greater import than
that of the establishment of a safe
and stable currency.
The speaker touched upon the hus-
tie and enterprise of the people of
the West n securing congressional
aid for internal improvements, and in
this connection he said:
"We have gone on with our great
enterprises but we have not built for
the future as our wide-awake friends
of other sections of the country have
teen doing. Our Eastern waterways
have remained much as their foun-
ders left them
Mr.. Moore pointed ont, however,
the progress that had been made bv
the society and spoke of the decided
interest awakened in the project of a
deeper waterway along the Atlantic
coast. Most of the work of the en-
sineers in making the survey of the
l,5OO miles along the coast had been
completed. He closed with an appeal
to Eastern business men bringing 10
their notice the Importance of ear.
