Great IakcS-Ocean Route.
(New York Evening Postl

kNSW ] OTk E4NcnlDG HCSt(
 An old-fashioned sectional issue is raised by the question whether Great Lakes freight shall seek the ocean through the St. Lawrence or the Hud- son. Tho Northeast has a selfish in terest in developing the latter route, while the Northwest dreams of seeing Duluth, Chicago, Toledo and Cleve- land great American ports of de- parture for steamers sailing direct for Europe. It is entially a question for engineering and navigation ex- perts, and the senate does we'll in or dering investigation. The Shipping board Is reported to have planned medium sized, stan da ardized cargo carrier which could pass directly from the lakes to the lower St. Lawrence. For some years there has been a 14- foot channel with not a lttle com merce; and the practicable enlarge ment would cost 1t Is claimed, but $3A, 900, 900 Superintend Lewis Nixon's objections have weight as those of a ship architect and he as' serts that no profitable trade could be carried through the narrow. crooked channel of the upper St. Lawrence, where speed could be hardly faster than a mans walk. Argun erits based on the difficulty of international Rr- engagements are rightfully occupying secondary place. It is more prob able that 1t would mean concord than discord with Canada, as Senator Will jams says. and Mr. Nixon's fears of foreign warships sneal1ing up the Sit Lawrence will intimidate but few.
