St, Lawrence SeaWay Offers
Great Development for
Interior of Nation,
BY HERBERT QUICK

III PIGMENTS of the ST. Law
Il renee seaway-the deep water
- channel between the Great
Lakes and the ocean-say over and
over again that ocean-going ships will
never come into the lakes, no matter
how deep the channel may be.
Many people believe this-but it is
really nothing but propaganda for the
New York bottle-neck which is stran.
Cling the prosperity of the interior.
People who really believe this propa-
ganda should study what is going on
on the lower Mississippi.
New Orleans Is Example
New Orleans is far up the river,
but the big ships go there-so many
OF them that it is one of our greatest
ports. And all the way up to Baton
Rouge the banks are lined with great
oil, sugar and other plants, each with
its own docks, at which huge ocean
going ships load and unload all the
time. 1t is long inlet of the sea-
If there were five great lakes to be
reached by going further, and cities
like Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland, NIL
waukee, Duluth, FIT. William, Toronto
and all the others on the lakes, the
Mississippi would be a huge seaway
which would dwarf the Panama Canal
And that is what the st. Lawrence
will be when opened up
And if we do not join Canada in
opening it up. Canada will do 1t her
self.
Canada Offers Opportunity
She offers us the chance Of our ma.
tional life, a partnership in a great
seaway which we need worse than
she does, and immunity from dis
eliminating tolls all through the fu-
ture.
II Uncle Sam doesn't accep. the
partnership. Uncle Sam is a fool And
the interior of the continent will be
condemned to transportation slavery
forever.

Calvin. 14-year-old son Of President

tobacco leaves and hung them on dry
ing racks, and riding eight miles each
way to and from work on a bicycle.

ruler of the greatest republic in his
