tnat 27sfoot channel into the Great

These higher costs, the report
added, would probably restrict the

direct and indirect influence of
cheaper intercoastal communication
made possible by the Panama Canal
would benefit greatly, the report
said.
Further, the experts held that while
an enormous freight tonnage would
go to the waterway. American rail-
roads would suffer little, If any, loss
to business This conclusion was
based on the figures of increase in
freight traffic generally, from which
they constructed forecast that rail
road capacity to handle business
would be continuously strained by the
country'S natural growth.
As to the figures of potential traffic
for the St Lawrence Channel, it was
said that any error in them would lie
in the direction of an underestimate.
In this connection, experience with
the Panama Canal. where estimates of
traffic officially made have been con-
exceeded, was cited.

W. L. Harding Predicts Co.
operation in Developing
Great Lakes Waterway.

By the Associated Press.
Cooperation of Premier Mackenzie
Kings government of Canada with
the United States for the projection
of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway was predicted today by w.
l.. Harding. president OF the Great
Lal5es-St. Lawrence Tidewater Asso-
citation. after a call upon President
Coolidge.
He said he had heard rumors' that
the premier intended to head a com
mission to seek an agreement with the
United States, and he believed these
to be true.
Harding also declared that he saw
no prospect of loss greater than
5000. 900 bushels of grain to American
Great Lakes shippers as a result of
the fixing of an IL cent rate by the
Canadian government railroad on
grain from Winnipeg to Quebec.
Harding. a former Governor of
Iowa, said that he saw some tagging
in the sentiment for Frank 0. Low
den for President in his State and
that in some sections, particularly tho
Eastern part. Secretary Hoover SEEM
ed to be gaining ground for the Re-
publican nomination.
Harding believed that the veto of
the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill
would not play as important a part in
Iowa presidential politics as has been
generally predicted.
