WINDSOR AGOG OVER
COMING OF STEEL PLANT
,oostinu-d From PaEe oas,

Sandwich will give Windsor bis
boom. IL is almost certain that the
headquarters OF the Sandwich plant
will be located In Windsor. and many
OF the employees will undoubtedly live
in Windsor. As matter OF fact,
Windsor will benefit In mtny ways
from the plant; the merchants VIII
get increased business and there can
not help but be an indirect boom all
along the line. including almost every
branch of trade. We certainly look
for a much larger Windsor In conse-
Quence OF the plants coming. and we
are delighted to learn of the good
news.
Windsor has been going alonG
pretty we'll. about as we'll as any city
In Canada within the past few years,
and the boom will now get an even
greater impetus. II is quite possible
that the steel plant will use our pro-
posed hydro-electric power, and II 1t
does, the cost per horsepower should
be very reasonable 10 everybody Al
and around Windsor. because OF the
fact that the more we use of Niagara
electricity the less Wen have TO pay
for II per unit"
/ IL Is not likely. however. that the
plant will be ready for operation for
couple of years. at LEASE even
though the buildings be started in the
coming spring. The site for the
plant is regarded as ideal being with
in easy reach of the vessels with their
ore from the northern mines and the
ships with their cargoes OF coal from
the Lake Erie ports. Much or the
property was owned by the estate OF
the late Daniel ScUtteu, OF Betfeit'
Within the past few years the United
States Steel Corporation has been do
ing an enormous business with Can
ada, the output for the Dom Mon rep
resenting upwards OF 400 600 tons,
valued at about $15,000,o00, annually.
On this a duty OF between sc and 81
Ia ton has been paid.
Walter S. Russell, president and
manager of the Russell Wheel 4 Foun-
dry Co.. Detroit, says that the Cana

are going to be chagrined that our
manufacturing plants are not supply

fields and markets reached through

AS the minister OF the United
States in both Asiatic and Latin
American countries | have been over
whelmed with the vastness OF what
I might call the Pan.Pacihc and Pan
American opportunity for the United
States. but l have also realized that
other countries of the world are IN
vestigating these opportunities and
preparing TO use the Panama canal 70

A few remarkable and concrete
facts must convince the most skept-
cal person OF the importance OF the
canal The foreign trade OF all the
countries bordering on the Pacific
ocean, including Canada, the Pacific
coast OF the United States, Mexico,
Central America, South America, Aus
tralasia and Asia amounts 10 nearly
g.. 600. OO0, 900. Heretofore Europe
has had via Suez the advantage over
the Ohil SOaoh oAA
central western section of the United
States in reaching these markets.
After the canal is opened two-thirds
OF the population OF the United States
and five-sixths Of it's manufacturing
interests will have a shorter route by
water to this mighty trade than will
Europe.
The whole gulf and Atlantic coast
of the United States and the country
back OF II will be able TO reach tt
Pacific markets of Mexico, Guatemala,
Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador,
Peru. Bolivia and Chile by a compare
lively short and convenient route.
The Panama canal will shorten the
route from Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia. Baltimore, Charleston, Mo
bile. New Orleans and Galveston 10
Valparaiso. Callao. Guayaqutl, Pana-
ma. Corinto and other ports OF the
western coast of Central America
and Mexico by distances averaging
from 5000 to 1900 miles.

an increase of nearly 100 per cent u

that. when the canals opened that
trade will grow I'm decade~to $1,000.

the United States should have the

Now a word about all Latin Ameri-

United States form the Pan-American
union.
These countries cover an area OF
g 100000 square miles or three times
that OF the United States proper. They
now have a population OF 100000.
They conducted last year foreign
trade OF 81 500 900. 0O0-an increase Of
nearly 100 per cent in 10 years.
n the 90 countries OF Latin America
