they are looking for an outlet to the

something about his imagination. ! call
to your attention the fact that the total
export and import tonnage of the United
States In the year 1920. a banner year,

why Is it that the port OF New York
carries such large percentage OF the

''One other subject of investigation
has been entirely overlooked" the Gov

trolling factor on the question or feas-

It happen that there are only four?
Because of transportation cost? No.
1t Is because the great machinery of
commerce, the great trade agencies, have
their centers In those four places from
which they radiate to all OF the other
ports of the world.
Merchandise will go thousands or
miles out Of its way In order to reach
center of distribution like Hamburg
or London or Liverpool or New York
Is there any reason to believe that the
lake ports would be able to establish
such centers of trade II the other At
lantic ports, such as Philadelphia and
Baltimore, now are unable to do so?"

Gov. Miller riddled the arguments of
those who want the Government to
embark in the scheme of preparing the
way to send ocean shipping through
the st. Lawrence River into the great
lakes. Vigorously he ridiculed and at
tackled on the grounds OF being too
visionary the plan which he described
as an effort to bring the Atlantic

Mr.. Merrick opened the debate with
a discussion of the economic aspects OF
the proposed ship canal. declaring that
1t would benefit 100000 people OF the
Middle West who had been suffering
from the effects OF inadequate trans
portation facilities He declared the de-
preston OF the last two years had been
due to lack OF transportation. and said
the establishment of the ship channel
would go long way toward restoring
conditions to a prosperous basis.
He indicated that sectionalism was be-
hind the opposition--sectionalism on the
part of New York. declaring that the
project had the Endorsement Of Presi-

He asserted that the opposition of New

continued by Gov. Allen.

dent Harding's Endorsement of the pro-

I guess the reason for this debate to-day
is that New York wants to talk some
more about It"
Gov. Allen devoted himself chiefly to
mentioning points Of opposition to the

He charged that New York was offering
the barge canal as substitute, ana
added that the objection to the St Law
renee channel on the ground that 1t
would be closed to shipping for five win

It. He denied that Montreal would gain

would benefit would be Chicago. Detroit,

He challenged the assertion that New
York would have to pay larger portion
Of the cost than any other state. It's
taxes running 80 per cent. OF the total.
