In alliance with Japan, however,
England is handicapped, to an i'm

principal links In the chain of navi-
cation and 1t Is the fourth one built
since 1888 to get boats around Nia-
ara Falls. The history Of the link
between Lake Erie and Ontario Is
one Of almost constant enlar GENE mt
and construction to meet the grown
of trade and lake traffic and the in
crease in the size of lake vessels.
Present Canal ostgrows.
The present welland Canal with
its 14-foot depth hzs long been out
grown and the Canadian govern
ment is now building a new artery,
which is cut 80 feet through the
rock and IS feet through the dirt.
deep enough to float 80 per cent of
the oceangoing vessels OF the
world. The estimated cost at 1912
prices was $4,000, 900, but advanced
costs will run it up between $780,
100000 and SS0.000,00O. Work was
stopped during the war. but after
the armistice it was resumed, thus
giving employment to many re-
turned soldiers during the Industrial
slump.
Canadian officials say 1t will take
three to four years to complete the
undertaking. Already the expendi-
lures have amounted to S2s,00O, 900.
The whole expense Is paid by the
Canadian government. No tolls are
contemplated.
The first step of the expedition
was at Theroid. There were eNer-
cises and the placing of a wreath
at the grave of American soldiers
who fell in thee war OF 1872 and
the party then proceeded by cleo
trio car down the line of the rock
cuts. The ship canal will be IS
miles long, but all the lifting will
be done in the seven miles be-
tween Thorold and Lake ontario.
In seven miles, with six locks,
ships will be lifted SS6h feet. The
locks are cut in the solid rock, in
some parts eighty rect deep. and
they are 500 fet long and eighty
feet wide. In all there are seven
locks. including the one "a the Lake
Erie end, and they take the place
Of twenty-six locks in the present
old welland Where IL takes about
sixteen hours for a small vessel to
go through the present canal IL
will taken oily eight hours for a
ship drawing twenty or twenty
three feet to pass through the new
canal.
Address by Sir Robert Borden.
Sir Robert Borden, former pre-
mier. met the party at the end pf
the canal, and aboard the Cape
Eternity before luncheon there was
a season OF speechmaking. Mr. Bor-
den dwelt upon two things in the
relationship of the two "neighbor

warships on the international boun-
dary for more than 4 century, and
second that now they aree ready 20

have left it to an international
commission instaed of twing 1t up

Congress Approves Without
Drawing Party Objections

President Harding's disarmament
proposal has won almost universaI
appreciation in Congress. from Re-
publicans and Democrats alike
The projected conference of the
powers was hailed as definite
step toward world peace without
foreign entanglements, and as a
possible means of enabling the ma
tions of the world to rehabilitate
themselves by cutting down gigan-
tic expenditures for armies anc
navies.
Senator Borah, leading advocate
OF disarmament in the upper cham
ber, who steadfastly fought all a,-
tempts for an effort to reduce
armies. declined to comment on the
Presidents action. Borah, 1t is un-
derstood, fears that the adminls-
tration's efforts not only are certain
of failure, but that they may have
the result of destroying the dis
armament move in Europe.
Lodge Favers Plan.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
chairman of the Committee on For
OlSh neldllOHS, sara ne approved
thoroughly of what the President
had done. and expressed belief that
deliberations of any conference that
may meet will be confined to a dis
cussion of navies.
Senator Underwood, of Alabama.
Democratic leader, expressed the
views of most minority members
when he said:
Il am heartily in favor of the
disarmament conference the Presi-
dent has proposed. l know of no
way by which the world can pay its
deh:s an sc back on its feet ex-
cept through the reduction Of ar
maments."
Senator Johnson, of California.
advocate and leader
in the night against the league of
nations, thought it would have been
better for the President to have
followed the terms of the Borah
proposal.
