holding an inland water course most
of the way.
But this development would not con-
sumo our entire billion dollars. 1t
would not require more than half
Of it. With the other $5OO,OOO,OOO we
should be able to dredge and deepen
and straighten the Mississippi river
to st. Louis. and the Missouri river to
Kansas City, sufficiently to admit the
free and unobstructed passage of
ocean liners to the very center of the
industrial and fruitful West.
LAS to the third billion saved: For
some time past a great electrical su-
perpower system has been advocated,
extending from Boston to Washing
ton, connecting with the bituminous
coal mines of Virginia, the anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania. and the
sources of water power available at
Niagara and in the lower reaches of
the st. Lawrence river. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 horse power may
be developed on that part of the st.
Lawrence river between Lake Ontario
and Montreal constituting the interna-
tional boundary between that part of
New York state and Canada, one-half
of which power would belong to the
United States.
"The following Is the proposition in
nutshell: Great hydro-electric pow
er stations. are to be built on the st.
Lawrence and In the bituminous coal
mine section of Virginia and the an
thraclte region of Pennsylvania. The
electrical energy from these plants
will be conducted through trunk lines
crossing the super-power area. and
the trunk lines will be tapped by
wires conducting the electricity away
in all dire ctions, to take the place of
coal in all power plants, to run all To-
cOmotives and street cars. to supply
all electric lighting and to generate
heat for much of the cooking and
warming of rooms in private homes.
"At the present time the railroads
in the super-power area are carrying
about 6O,OOO,OOO tons of coal annually.
this coal constituting 40 per cent of
the freight of the roads. 1t is esti-
mated that half of this coal would be
saved, or 3O,OOOOO0 tons annually. and
the railrods relieved of their present
Overburden.
"This is what we could do with the
fourth billion saved: A very practical
and comprehensive plan has already
been worked out for canalizing the st.
Lawrence river between Lake On
tario and Montreal. thereby permitting
the passage of ocean steamers up the
st, Lawrence into Lake Ontario. This
plan would at one stroke make Buffalo.

go seaport cities with ocean steamer
communication with all ports of the
world.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED At MASS
MEETING IN CAPITOL BY
WOMEN.
MEETINGS IN Is STATES
WANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN BIG
NATIONS TO REDUCE WAR
PREPARATIONS.
Western Newspaper UuiOn Neu. Service.

Washington, March 2S.-A resolution
requesting President Harding to "call
conference of the nations on world
disarmament" and asking that in
creased appropriations of Congress for
armaments be postponed pending such
conference was adopted at Il mass
meeting held in advocacy of disarma-
ment under the auspices of the Wom-
ans Disarmament Committee.
Senator Borah of Idaho again advo,
Gated an agreement between the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan to reduce naval armaments and
charged authors of the programs for
increased armaments with being sed-
ulous patrons of Bolshevism, painstak-
ing and Industrious gardeners of un-
rest and misery
The meeting, it was announced, was
held simultaneously with others in fif-
teen states.
Other speakers We're Representative
Frear of Wisconsin, Mrs. Ida Clyde
Clark and Edward f.. Grady of the
American Federation of Labor.
Mrs. Florence Kelly of New York,
who presided, said the meetings mark
the spontaneous uprising of women on
the first Easter on which they have
had power"
Mr.. Grady said that the American
Federation of Labor joins lin demand
ing that the statesmen do something
at once to bring about Il definite pro-
gram for world disarmament
1--WE, however, clearly recognize" he
added, that we cannot disarm while
other nations are armed. But we want
disarmament, the reduction to be grad
ual and by general agreement
Among kilograms read was one from
w. j. Bryan, saying he '.was heartily
in favor of disarmament - for an
agreement with other nations, if posi-
BILE; by our example, if necessary"
"There is no way to bring about dis
armament except through agreement
with the other naval powers" Senator
Borah said. 1T should never be our
purpose to leave our country insecure,
but it should be our determined pur-
pose to bring about such an agree
ment as will bring security without
bringing bankruptcy.
Great Britain has again taken up
the program of building. Japan is
adding to her program. And we are
still to have thee greatest navy in the
world. So the race is on.
Through an agreement or under
standing which puts an end to naval
competition, we can reduce taxes, re-
store faith i'll the government at home
and augment friendly relations
abroad"
Representative Frear said that the
last administration had submitted
amazing" peace-time naval estimates
and that the navy appropriation bill as
reported to the Senate would have
levied S25 on every American family.
"Protection for America he said,
''is captivating slogan following the
war. Behind all movements for a
larger navy, investigations disclose
that powerful influences are strongly
entrenched whose interests and indus
tries depend on liberal appropriations.
BY similar coincidence we may rea-
sonably expect, until the naval bill
passes Congress, sensational headlines
and editorials advising Congress and
the country that Japan is planning to
capture Hawaii and the Philippines
and everything in the Pacific from the
and the Cannibal isles

the worldwide discussion of the dis
armament and armament truce pro-
posals-what the United States needs
In the way of industrial improvements
to increase its efficiency.
Engineers. efficiency experts. trans
portation managers and far-seeing
business men have had much to say in
general way about the need for
greater production and better distri-
button The possibility of disarma-
ment or of an armament truce has
stimulated them to estimating what
the United States would save and
suggesting what it should do with
the money thus saved.
Here is an example of the many
suggestions for increased Industrial
efficiency. The United States geolog-
ical survey has been making an inves-
tigation of the potential water, power
of the East. On the basis of its find
ings, Secretary of the Interior Payne,
Just before going out of Office, sub
mitted to President Wilson report
covering the area from Boston to
Washington. He urged unified devei-
opment Of electricity, supplied from
both water power and steam-driven
machinery, to effect an annual saving
of about 25,OOO,OOO tons of coal. run
1000 miles of railroad, light cities,
run street cars, factories and mines.
through the concerted development of
water power from the st. Lawrence,
Raquette, Delaware, Susquehanna, Po-
tomac rivers and streams in the Adj
rondacks.
Financial feasibility of the idea Is
urged by the report on the following
estimates:
Electrification of 1900 miles of
railway ut gross cost of $SOOOOO,OOO,
reduced to $3.50. 100000 by salvage
of steam locomotives, while yearly
savings on coal and maintenance
..would return approximately Ia per
cent on the investment"
Incomplete data on $1,000 power
using plants indicates saving of 6.OOO.-
600 to 5000 600 tons of coal year.
EIectrIfication of hard coal mines
to save 6,5OO,OOO tons of coal yearly.
Public utilities to be saved 4,OOO.OO0
tons of coal annually at average cost
of $3.50 a ton.
Hudson Maxim assumes that the
United States would save five billion
dollars through five-year armament
truce and proceeds to tell what the
nation could do with those five bill
lions. Writing in the New York
World he says among other things:
"a billion dollars would build In the
United States 25,OOO miles of concrete
roads 20 feet wide-fye roads extend
ing east and west from ocean to ocean.
and six roads extending north and
south from Canada to Mexico and the
Gulf-roads connecting oil the prin-
cipal cities and towns in all the main
directions. The roads could be made
90 feet wide, of the best and most
substantial concrete construction. with
the liberal allowance of $4,000 mile.
or 81 1000, 100000 for 25,0OO miles.
"With our billion dollars saved, the
second year we could build the pro-
posed intercostal ship and barge canal
from Boston to Florida, running
through Long Island Sound, crossing
New Jersey to the Delaware, on to
Chesapeake Bay, thence running be-
hind the chain of islands southwark
