Sees Need SeabOard
Waterway System in
American Territory

Washington, March 7.-(AP)-Sec-
rotary Dwight Davis considers that
from the military standpoint 1t is es-
sential that the Great Lakes-Atlantic
seaboard waterway system shall be
entirely within American territory"
In making public tonight a letter re-
ceived from Secretary Davis. Chair
man Dempsey of the House rivers and
harbors committee said he would pre-
sent the communication at a hearing
before the rivers and harbors board
Of the army engineer corps Tuesday,
when he will seek reversal of the
findings Of a special board of army
engineers which last week reported I'M
favorably on the Great Lakes-Hudson
River all-American ship canal project
The special board took the position
that prospective traffic would not JUS
tify the cost of the undertaking.
I'm the event of a great war;" Secre-
tary Davis wrote, 1.-The transportation
Of the agricultural products and raw
material of the middle west to the
Atlantic seaboard and to the thickly
populated industrial centers of the
eastern and New England states would
impose great burden on the rail-
roads. The probably resulting conges-
ton could be relieved by the further
development of the waterways con-
Meeting the Great Lakes with the
Hudson River.
"From the military standpoint. 1t
is essential that waterways connect
ing the Great Lakes with the Atlantic
seaboard shall be entirely within
American territory. The proposed wa
terway extending from Lake Erie via
Tonawanda-the Erie Canal to Lock-
port, thence to Olcott on Lake Onta-
rio. thence to oswega, thence to the
Hudson via Oswego River and Mo-
hawk River valleys--would be desir-
able from the national defense stand
point"
In a statement tonight Mr.. Demp-
sew said that the war secretary's let
ter "disposes of the fallacy that has
prevailed that the all-American route
was favored because of an imaginary
fear that this country might get into
war with Canada or Great Britain"
ut simply is to fortify the United
states from the transportation stand
point so that the seaboard congestion
which prevailed during the World War
may never again happen, either in
cheapest and best outlet to the sea
for it's surplus crops"
Secretary Davis letter. Chairman
Dempsey maintained. "disposes of the
St. Lawrence waterway question until
the all-American canal is built" and
ne reiterated his opinion that the
traffic estimates of the survey board
which investigated the all-American
route are too low. while the mosts of
maintenance. and possibly construc-
ton, are too high"

Wages are high,
prices are being maintained for all
commodities and our people are
handling a great deal Of money.
But the mere handling OF large
sums of money in the matter OF
earning and spending is not all
sufficient to make for permanent
prosperity for either the nation or
the individual.
When times are good, as the COM
mon expression goes, there is al
ways greater opportunity and more
temptation to spend as you go. 1t
is, in fact, harder for most people
TO save when they are prosperous
than when they are not.
When the business sun shines
high and strong It is hard for some
people to think Of the rainy days
bound to come
II, would seem to be easy to make
the most of our good fortune and
yet it requires considerable strength
Of character and forethought to do
this in just the, right way.
In times of peace the wise soldier
prepares for war. In times OF
abundant business the wise bust
ness man and true philosopher pre-
pares for the day when business is
bound to slow down.
The present times call for thrift
1t has been the universal human
experience that thrift Is less popu-
lar and more difficult to practice
when we are in prosperity than
otherwise.
No man was ever too prosperous
or too successful to be beyond the
need OF thrift
