ST. LAWRENCE FOR FARM RELIEF
(St. Paul Dispatch.)

Emphasizing the necessity Of agricultural relief the
political campaign of 1923 naturally also focuses at
tenton upon the ST. Lawrence waterway project. Do
mest prices American farmers receive for their grain
measured by the world price, based upon the play
Of supply and demand in the great markets OF Europe
min the cost of transportation from the production
point.
So far as the western hemisphere is concerned the
chief sources of competition with the American grain
producers are two namely, Canada and the Argentine
In considering the ST. Lawrence waterways benefits.
is worth while to compare the American grain pro-
ducers' position with that of these competitors.
Canada offers certain transportation advantages to
its farmers not open American grain growers. The
government owned. Freight rates agricultural prod
ucts fixed below American schedules. This be
done because deficits created for the Canadian National
railway assumed by the government and paid out
of public revenue. Canada is completing railroad
route to tdewater on Hudson bay which great
deal Of grain is expected to flow in the future less
cost than the present lake-rail haul from the North
west provinces Montreal Reduced figures trans
portation costs Of Canadian grain average approx
n1ately five cents per bushe less than the rate
American shipments from farm to the world market.
North and west Of Buenos Aires, inland along the
valley Of the Parana river, lies the rich wheat belt Of
Argentina. Compared with the great distances from
tidewater to the granary of America the wheat pro-
ducers Of Argentine the ocean. The port of
Rosario, 200 miles up the navigabe Parana river lies
at the heart Of the region The average farmer of Ar

for about ten cents bushe shipped by river by
farm to Liverpool determined by the Great Lakes
ST. Lawrence Tdewater association in 1926 to be from
20 to = cents bushel or ten to fifteen cents bushe
less than the American farmer must pay.
| The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence river together
provide waterway leading from the heart Of North
America directly toward the world grain markets Of
Europe BY flooding out the rapids of the St. Lawrence
and admitting shining to the Great Lakes deep
water transportation be provided from upper lakes
ports clear to Europe.
The transportation disadvantage the American
farmer against the Canadian farmer will be largely
removed by the ST. Lawrence waterway, and both will
be given cheaper route than they now have The
saving of seven to twelve cents bushel in freight
charges export American grain would overcome
pettors. 1t would increase the American advantage
over midas and Ausraa's competition and diminish
the threat against the American farmers position from
the Black American agricultures interest in the
St. Lawrence waterway direct and important. It is
not surprising that the project is stressed in the political
campaign Of 1928 practicable measure Of farm

FEWER CRIPPLES

Cripples are relative rarity in the United States
compared with the rest Of the world. There only
$4,000 physically blind persons in America. The leg
less are seldom seen and having member
missing is curiosity. The same is true of the de-
formed. But American visitors abroad return with
stories Of the hordes of blind, crippled and deformed
met with everywhere.
One of the principal for the greater numbers
ST the physically handicapped abroad is Few
tries in Europe and Asia have not participated in
than within the time Of the living generations.
Another cause for the comparative scarcity of de-
formity and Of crpples in this country is the higher
standard Of sanitation. Skilled medical service for all
and rapid advances in surgery preventing and
ing the diseases which leave their victims manned.
Many persons made blind otherwise crippled
through industrial occupations, but this too, has been
reduced to minimum in the United States by the in
PRODUCTION Of safeguards in all factories.
In the great numbers Of manned and disfigured
abroad there is lesson for this country and in every
cripple at home there is lesson in safety first 70,

ENFORCE THE FOOD LAWS

DR.. Harvey Wiley, famous pure food expert charges
that the recent prevalence of food poisoning in various

fact that the pure food laws not being enforced.
Executive orders, DR.. Wiley charges, have crippled
enforcement officers from obtaining strict observance
of the federal laws
1t is hard to TELL at this moment how far Dr. Wileys
charges may be justified But the matter should be
looked into, at any rate The pure food laws were put
on the statute books only after very long and very
hard fight 1t would be an outrage if they being
allowed to lapse now.
