HUGHES ANSWERS
CRITICS OF POLICY
Defends Administration in
Reply to Attacks by Rival
/; Candidates.
Sx the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, October 24-Speaking g
before an audience which crowded the
Lyric Theater to the doors. Secretary
of State Hughes last night made a
vigorous defense of the Coolidge ad-
ministration's foreign policies in reply
to criticism of his department by the
Democratic and Independent presi-
dental candidates.
Asserting that the third party" had
charged the government with making
"secret commitments" Mr.. Hughes de-
clared the contrary is readily shown
by our withdrawal from Santo Do
mingo and our constant endeavors,
as illustrated by the conference held
in Washington of the Central Amerl-
can republics, to promote their peace
and stability
The Secretary denied that this gov
ernment is negotiating concessions
for American citizens, adding that
1.-The force of American arms is never
pledged for the fulfillment of foreign
loans or agreements" The relations
of the United States with the Latin
American republics, he said, have
never been on so good a footing as
today.
Replies to Davis.
Attacking the Democratic party for
s'belittling the Washington confer
Secretary Hughes declared that John
W. Davis "is compelled to depreciate
his own depreciation of this work"
which Mr.. Hughes said the leaders
of the Democratic party had acclaimed
in the Senate with the highest
praise" Under the Washington
agreement. he declared, Great Britain
for the first time acceded to a definite
naval equality with another power
Asserting that "it iS constantly
parent that the center of attack of
our opponents. with respect to foreign
relations, is that the government has
not Joined the League of Nations"
Mr.. Hughes said the league is not IAN
issue in this campaign"
His recommendation to President
Harding with regard to the Perma-
nent Court of international Justice.
the Secretary said, is well known:
President Coolidge has stated his po-
sition unequivocally and 1t has been
Endorsed by the Republican platform.
Emphasizes Influence.
Mr.. Hughes particularly empha-
sized the world influence for peace
retained by the United States by
reason of it's independence of tho
League of Nations, an influence
which, he said, otherwise would be
lost, and referred to the Governments
participation in the work of secur-
ing restrictions in narcotic traffic and
in efforts to suppress traffic in women
and children.
Concluding with an assertion of
his belief that the outlook is for
prosperous times at home" Mr.
Hughes said that every uncertainty
that now exists can he removed by
the election of President Coolidge"

THE 500 CANALS

The Saint Mary's river connects
Lake Superior with Lake Huron.
Nature studded this river with rock
and possessed it with a rapids which
falls twenty feet in three-quarters of
mile. This made the movement Of
the cargoes of furs and merchandise,
which came down through the lakes
in the early days. well nigh impos-
Sible.
Accordingly, In 1853, the work Of
building that which is said to have
been the first ship canal within the
borders of these United States was be-
gun. This canal was 1914 feet long
and its locks permitted the passage OF
vessels drawing twelve feet of water.
AS this nation developed more and
greater cargoes resulted, and the
canal and locks had to be enlarged.
The commerce of the Great Lakes
continued to grow by leaps and
bounds. The present series of canals
end locks, completed in 1914, cost
several millions of dollars. Now yes
sells drawing some "a feet of water
can be accommodated. The largest
lock is 1850 feet long. Five ships can
be handled at one locking. AS many
as 125 vessels have passed through in
a single day. Although the bulk of the
traffic moves through the canals on
the American side, there Is also q
large canal on the Canadian side
The season Of navigation varies ac-
cording to the weather. Generally
speaking, the canals open in April and
close in December. The tremendous
volume Of traffic which passes through
In a single season is astounding.
The report Of the United States
canal Office at Sault Ste. Marie for
1922 shows that an average of SO
vessels per day or 1888 passed
through the canals during that period
These vessels carried 57,043 passen-
gers and 66.O67,25S tons of freight,
the value Of which was estimated to
be almost one billion dollars.
The east-bound traffic included, In
round numbers, 210.OOO,OO0 feet of
lumber; 4,6S0,O0O barrels of flour:
263.000,000 bushels of wheat; 100000
600 bushels of other grains; $1,000
tons of copper; 100000 tons of iron
ore and $4,000 tons Of general mer-
chandise. The chief items which made
up the west-bound traffic included, us
ing round numbers again, 8,7OO.OOO
tons of soft and 66S.OO0 tons of hard
coal; $4,000 tons of manufactured iron
and steel products; $4,000 tons of
salt; 10000 tons of oil; 100000 tons
of stone, sand and gravel, and $4,000
tons of general merchandise.
