ENlARGING CANAL
IS VITAL MATTER
FOR THE NATION

VI great interest 10 MdryldHu Was
the big demonstration held recently
at Delaware City. DEL, at which the
Importance of charging the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal to take
care of battleships and making it a
free waterway were discussed. Not
only would the conversion of the canal
be a great aid toward the defense of
this country, it was pointed out by the
speakers, but the action also would
mean great deal for shipping.
That the citizens of the state espe-
ciall INTERESTED, on both economic and
patriotic grounds, should fight for the
construction of a ship-going canal be-
tween the two big bays was the state
ment made by Senator Henry A. du-
Pont.
Senator dupont was not present,
but he sent letter, which was read.
In part, it was as follows:
GAS long ago as 1907, during my
first term in the Senate. l made an
oral argument before the committee
on rivers and harbors of the House of
Representatives in favor of the Della
ware and Chesapeake ship canal, then
before that committee. In that argu-
ment | not only called attention to the
manifest economic advantages which
would ensue, but laid special stress
upon the great Importance of the pro-
posed canal in case of a foreign war
and explained the defenceless condi-
ton Of the United States if attacked
by any tirst-class foreign power. AL
though at first my argument on the
military side of the question fell on
deaf ears, | thought it my duty to eX-
plain frankly and fully the situation
as | saw it.
ed that public opinion has become
"The country is to be congratulate
awakened at last to the necessity Of
seriously considering the problem of
defense. and. in consequence, it would
seem that the prospects of congress
sional ACTION are brighter than ever
before.
without going into the details Of
the cost of construction of the propos-
ed canal, or explaining at length the
many commercial advantages which
would accrue therefrom, everybody
must perceive at glance that the de-
tense of the Delaware would be i'm
measurably strengthened if the YES

a canal to assist in repelling attacks
made nthe Delaware Bay. In time
of war it could easily happen that
ocean communication between these
two important estuaries might be in
terrupted, either by reason of the alb
sence of our own fleet in other waters
or because Of some naval disaster. In
either contingency any hostile eXpedi-
ton operating either on the line of
the Delaware or on that of the Chesa-
peake could be met by the combined
forces of submarines and other naval
vessels assigned to the local defense of
each of these great bays, which would
be quite impossible if no canal were
in existence.
"When Congress meets the citizens
generally of the states who are spec
tally interested both upon economic
grounds and for patriotic reasons, as
well as their congressional delegations
in Washington. should make deter
mined efforts to secure legislation for
the construction of shin-roing canal
between the Delaware and Chesapeake
Bays"
