the error in our Improvements have
been that the record-breaking tonnage
of the Great Lakes has had no service
able connection either with the Allan
tic or with the Gulf. Once these two
connections we're made, and the Allan
tic intracoaStal waterway was complete,
we would have through the two oceans,
the Great Lakes, and useful connections
of them with the Atlantic and the Gulf,
a complete and unified system of wa
terways through which commerce will
move without unloading or reloading, at
a minimum cost, for the benefit of both
the producer and the consumer. This
bill accompliShes such unification of
our waterways for which we have all
so long planned and worked.
A project for the completion Of the
improvement of the Illinois River is
included in the bill. 1t will furnish the
connection between the Mississippi sys-
tenn, with its 5000 miles of improved
waterways, and the Great Lakes, the
connection point being the metropolis
of the interior of the country, Chicago.
Economical Transportation Link.
The engineers have recommended and
the committee has acted favorably upon
the proposition to ask the State of New
York to transfer the Erie and Oswego
Canals to the Federal Government.

purpose of rivers and harbors i'm
proVement.
Such is the purpose underlying the
presentation and the effort TO secure
the adoption of all of the improve
ments in the present rivers and harbors
bill
Few Projects Stand Out.
While the projects covered by the bill
embrace all of the Improvements to our
waterways deemed necessary by the engi-
neers at the present moment. and while
all of them are worthy, and while each
of them will play an important part
in our waterway transportation system,
some few of them stand out as being
of remarkable usefulness in uniting our
waterways into a complete system
which will serve the commerce of every
section of our country as well as our
commerce with foreign nations.
We have had the Panama Canal con-
Meeting the two oceans for 20 years,
and it has carried a commerce of ap-
proximately 100000 tons, as against
the estimate of IL 900, 900 tons, and has
proved of enormous value to the coun-
try as a whole. The greatest commerce
In the world has been carried on the
Great Lakes and at the lowest cost of
any transportation in all time. We
started years ago to improve an intra-
coastal waterway on the Atlantic from
New York to Florida. The fault and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-25

the long stretch of 80 miles from its
mouth.
Besides all this, we undertake the
humanitarian task of preventing foods
in the State of Florida. The dreadful
destruction of life and the large prop
erty loss accompanying the recent
floods aroused the sympathy OF the en-
tire country. and the adoption OF a
project which will prevent the recur-
renee of such a catastrophe will meet
the sympathy and approval of the peo-
pie of every part of the United States.
Among the other great works under
taken are the further improvement Of
that great artery of commerce, the Del
aware River at an expense OF approxi-
mately $4.000,000 the widening and
deepening of the channel in Baltimore
Harbor where commerce has grown by
leaps and bounds and is certain to de-
velop even more rapidly in the future
the giving additional depth to the
James River, where an industrial CEN
ter of large proportions is being rapidly
developed; the improvement of the
Brazos Island Harbor in Texas, the port
of the Rio Grande Valley, where the
production of citrus fruits and vegeta-
bles of the highest quality is going on
at an astounding rate, resulting in the
changing, within few years, of mes
quite desert into a thFckly populated
district, with cities, villages, good roads
and every modern convenience; the de-
velopment of the Youghiogheny and AL
| legheny Rivers in Pennsylvania thus
bringing to the use of our people the
enormous bodies of coal located on their
banks: the improvement of the Kama
VIVA River, which will bring into use
the only smokeless coal in the world,
$4,000, 100000 tons in quantity; the
Green and Barren Rivers in Kentucky,
thus bringing to market at low trans
portation cost the stores of coal and of
asphalt adjacent to these streams, be-
sides a very large number of only less
notable, but no means less worthy,
projects.
However. the project which is excit-
| ing the most discussion is that for the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-25

taking over by the United States of
the Erie and Oswego Canals, in New
York. 1t is of first importance to see
who are supporting and, If any. who
are opposing the acquisition of the
canals. Among the supporters we find
the Mississippi Valley Association, the
Missouri River Association and the
Lake Carriers Association. These three
associations cover practically the en-
tire Middle West. These associations
urge that the Federal control and the
modernization of these two barge canals,
giving them a channel depth of IS or IA
feet and 20-foot bridge clearanceS. will
afford reasonable and economical trans
portation for the grain and the other
products of the Middle West. They say
that the canals are in existence and will
be operated anyway and that it is only
common sense to make them as eco
nomical and practical agencies as can
be done at a reasonable cost.
Would Increase Carrying Capacity.
The canals now have depth of 10
feet 6 inches, on which 1,200-ton car
goes can be carried. With a 13-foot
depth and adequate bridge clearanceS,
2,000-ton cargoes can be carried. Thus,
the carrying capacity of a barge will
be increased 70 per cent and the cost
decreased 40 per cent, the benefits of
which will be shared both by the pro-
Queer and the consumer.
The Detroit shippers say that from
actual experience they can testify that
automobiles can be distributed from
Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, through
such a canal, through New York, New
England and the South Atlantic States
and, by transfer to ocean vessels, to our
foreign trade, at lower cost than by any
other existing transportation agency.
The oil from Texas and California,
the sulphur from Texas and the lumber
from the Pacific Coast can all be
brought, in full vessel loads and I'M
loading only at destination, to all of
the Great Lakes territory and distrib-
uted at reasonable, and even low,
cost.
The shippers as a body unite in say
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-25

ing that once the improvements de-
scribed are assured for the canals,
fleet of modern steel barges will be
built adequate to carry tonnage on the
canal to its capacity of 10000, 900 to
100000 tons, and that the COM
merce will increase to capacity in the
very near future.
Fears Declared GrOundlesS.
Now, who oppose the taking over of
these two canals? A very small num-
Der of extremists who indulge the
wholly groundless apprehension that
the liberalization of the two canals
means the delay, and some OF them
even say the death, of the ST. Lawrence
waterway Of course, it is a most ex-
IRENE position to say that the United
States should not give itself the bene-
At of a wholly practical, highly useful
connection between the Great Lakes
and the sea, which can be modern1Zed
at a very low cost. because some few
people believe that it will interfere with
some other waterway which would
serve some of the same purposes. We
do not say, when we adopt the Erie and
Oswego Canals, that we will not in the
future, much less never, obtain any
other connection between the lakes and
the sea. On the contrary the Mid
west IdTI10T, aS evidenced Dy JI1e sup
port of the Mississippi Valley and the
Missouri River Associations, realizes
that three-fourths of our wheat and
other farm products are consumed in
the territory tributary to the Erie
Canal, which will afford transporta-
ton for 60.000,000, or one-half of our
people, and that 1t is three times as
important to have cheap distribution of
grain and other farm products among
our own people as it is abroad. And
the farmer will say that there is no
reason why we cannot have the cheap
est water transportation possible for
distribution among our own people,
where we consume three-bourths of our
farm products and to Europe.
In conclusion, this bill has been under
consideration and discussion for half
year 1t is very generally understood
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-25

afford the economical transportation
link needed between the Great Lakes
and the sea. Then the last project
needed to complete the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways between Cape Fear River,
North Carolina, and Jacksonville, Fla,
is also included in the bill. These three
projects together supply the missing
links and make our waterway system
connected whole. The benefits to the
Great Lakes from the two connections
with the Gulf, by the Illinois and with
the Atlantic by the Erie and Oswego
Canals, will be incalculable in supplying
tonnage from the East and the South
and in affording transportation from
the Great Lakes territory eastwardly
and southerly over these two connect
ing links to the Middle and South At
lantic States, New England, South
America and Mexico.
We purpose to review in some detail
the advantages to the country as a
whole of the adoption of the Erie and
Oswego Canals, but before doing that 1t
will be interesting to mention few OF
the other outstanding improvements
made possible through this, which 1t is
honestly believed is as good rivers
and harbors bill (if not the best) that
has ever been reported.
Three other great projects stand out
conspicuously in this bill: First, the
Missouri River. reaching vast territory
and running through the richest farm
ing land in the world, has an authori-
cation for the expenditure OF $4,000
600 in the next three years: next. the
Upper Mississippi, which does not re-
ceive the benefit of Great Lakes COM
merce, receives special consideration on
that account by the enlargement of the
Hastings Lock and Dam and the au-
thorization Of two other locks, as a
splendid and long start in the process
of obtaining a 9-foot channel. and,
| thirdly, the Tennessee River, with its
enormous power and splendid naviga-
ton facilities, on the survey of which
we have expended a million dollars.
