.LAKES-TO-OCEAN
WATERWAY URGED
Dempsey Proposes "AlI-
American Route" Substitute
for st. Lawrence.
BY thc Associated Press.

by thr Associated Press.
Chairman Dempsey of the House
rivers and harbors committee in a
statement today urged construction
of an all-American water route from
the Great Lakes to the Atlantic in
preference to one through the st.
Lawrence River.
He declared the waterway should
go from the Great Lakes through
New York State to the Hudson, but
did not favor any particular course
through the Empire State. He said
he would favor the route selected by
engineers as most practicable.
The privy council of England has
decided that the Province of Quebec
owns the best of the st. Lawrence
River. which means that province
controls the river" Mr.. Dempsey
said
The premier of Quebec has an
nounced in the Montreal Star (No-
vember 26) that Quebec will never
consent to the development of power
on the st. Lawrence for expectation
to the United States, nor the deepen
ing of il for navigation purposes as
advocated" he added.
Mr.. Dempsey said it is obvious from
his message to Congress that Mr.. Cool
idge has an open mind" on the sub
Jcct, and is only interested in what
is best for the country"
Mr.. Dempsey said that Secretary of
Commerce Hoover, at first partial to
the St. Lawrence route, has now be-
come neutral"
The hardest thing" he continued
flor those interested In this great
project for a deep waterway across
New York is the utter Indifference of
the greater part of the press, particu-
larly the metropolitan press, and of
the business interests of the entire
State.
''On the other hand. one cannot but
admire the wonderful activity of the
well organized Northwestern States,
which are bonded together in an
alliance to secure the improvement Of
a foreign waterway-the St. Lawrence
route.
Il am not, at this time. going into a
discussion of the relative merits of the
two routes, other than to say that the
st. Lawrence route will serve only our
trade with Europe. while the all
American waterway will serve an
infinitely more important commerce
through the Panama Canal and for
the entire Atlantic and Pacific coast. +"
