THE CANAL ISSUE IN
CANADA

, In their advocacy Of the propos-
ed ship canal connecting the St
I Lawrence river and the Great
Lakes with the sea the represen-
| tatives of the grain growing and
manufacturing industries Of West
ern Canada and Ontario are as ac-
tive and perhaps somewhat more
insistent than their neighbors
south of the international boun-
Diary. Recently an appeal was
made to the Canadian government
to proceed at once in negotiations
with the United States govern
ment with the purpose Of reaching
Il treaty agreement under which
the project could be Immediately
advanced Those composing the
delegation which presented the APP
peal represent no divided opinion.
They claim to see in the realiza-
ton Of the deep waterway plan
and the opening of lake ports to
traffic possible release from ex-
listing industrial bondage. Like
the farmers and manufacturers in
! the northern sections of the Mid
die West in the United States,
they feel that they owe little, if
anything, to existing transporta-
ton systems, which have so long
maintained a practical monopoly
in handling their products.
There are indications that the
plan will meet little, if any, oppos-
ition from the Canadian govern
ment. The delegates were inform
ed by Mackenzie King. the pre-
mier. according to press dis
patches, that matters had pro-
crossed much farther, in fact,
than the delegates seemed to real
iZc. He stated that while he, in
.dividually, could not proceed to a
conclusion, President Harding had
proposed Il definite treaty agree
ment under which the canal would,
be constructed. The whole ques-
ton, so far as Canada is concern
ed, he declared to be one which
parliament must consider and set
tie. He intimated that the matter
would be taken up at an early
date.
But. of course, the unanimity of
opinion expressed by the represen-
tatives from Western Canada, like
that existing in the Middle West
in the United States, is by no
means expressive of the sentiment
in the seaboard sections &C the
East. The promised shifting,
from established ports to inland o.
lake ports. of considerable bulk
of commodity exports, is not re-
galded without apprehension in
the Atlantic coast cities. If the
project of the canal is ever decid-
ed upon, it must be by the prepon-
dering opinion Of those people who
see in the proposed equalization of
transportation more than an i'm
mediate pecuniary loss to the
Eastern centers. And by right
there is much more to be consider
ed than this. and much more, even,
than the immediate gain which
may accrue to the producers and
shippers Of the Middle West.
Cheaper freight rates for the
great agricultural sections involv-
ed will. undoubtedly, be reflected
in benefits to all the people. both
in Canada and in the United
States. Considerations of initial
cost and Of prestige or monopolies
should not be permitted to weigh
heavily in determining national
and international policy of such
magnitude. Christian Science

Ignite IN AUSTRALIA

The scheme provides for the
erection of a generating station on

cost is about $l2,O00,OOO, for the
