FAC
THE ST.

An authentic Canadian voice has
been raised to join the chorus of
American VOICES that are opposing
the proposed St. Lawrence seaway
which would be constructed jointly
by Canada and the United States.
The voice is that of the Montreal
Gazette, and it is worth listening
to.
Its objections are strictly practical.
They are:
L. That the argument that the sea-
way willsave American farmers suf-
ficient sums to make it possible to
sell wheat in Europe is fallacious,
inasmuch as other countries, notably
Australia and the Argentine, can
supply Europe with all the wheat it
can use at much lower prices, If
respective Of transportation costs.
2. That competent engineers have
determined that the taxpayers must
pay eleven cents for every four cents
paid by shippers, if the desired rate
level is established.
3. That it would actually be cheap
er to build another railroad from Mis-
sissippi River to the Atlantic Coast
than 10 construct the proposed sea-
way, which will require $25, 600, 900
to $50,OO0.00O annually to pay inter
est on investment and maintenance.
4. That the seaway- connot pay for
iteslf, as rates high enough to pro
vide return on investment would be
well above those charged by railroads
serving the same area.
s. That if the seaways charges
lower than the rail rates, it will lose
money, and must be subsidized by
the taxpayers while robbing the rail-
roads of their business.
These arguments connot be obscur-
ed by political appeals to spesd bill
American and Canadian citizen should
think them over.

HIT THE DEPRESSION
ON THE CHIN

One a why revival Of the ,.on
struction industry is regaded as Ia
ing SO vitality important to recover,,
oy most authorities is that tba hill,
Of the employment it would povida Is
"nere It Is most needed-amonp skill
ed and unskilled Iaborers
In 1880, 2,5OO,O0O persns were mo-
plyed by the building industry. A.

les' bringing the total to 3.6OO.OOO

workers. constituted less than 12 ner

8 wage earncrs to1 white collar" en-
ploye.
Again. it is reliably estimated that
Tor every worker actually EMPLOYED
on a building jou, anther worker is
employed behind the line in industries
supplying necessary suqqlies. The
upshot is that, in normal times, more
than ten per cent of all the workers
Of the country are directly or indir-
ectly dependent for their livelihood
upon the building industry. The
terrific drop in cLnstrustion work
that came with the depression was
as a result, very possibly the largest
single factor in causing unemployment
Today American industry is expand
ing as rapidly as it can. And the
individual should follow that lead, by
building and repairing his own pro-
perty now, while prices are still down.
A national movement among home
owners to renovate their property
would be a blow directly to the DIRE
pression's chin.

been showing great promise in that sport. Central High
will have the pleasure of having Walter Rhoades, holder
of the Century and 22O yard dash records in Minneapolis,

Eddie Virgins is running the low hurdles and is a
member of the relay team. John Elliot is getting lots Of
distance out of the discus and the shot put up near the
record. Earl Anderson is learning the Eastern and Yves

George Sliced was Swallowed in one Of the races last

"No girl should feel qualified

This the institute will aim to do.
cit will help women not to go

In Work so Years

Mrs. Ross, who became in
terested in social service so
years ago, at the tender age OF
eight when she helped to take
care of little children in a
nursery school, explained the
purpose of the organization in
the following words:
"The Mothers Memorial In
stitute is organized to establish
community centerS in all cities
from which to do social welfare
work leading toward the good
health, cOntentment, and great
est usefulness of all of our peO-
pie, and the lasting good Of
our country; to teach the youth
of our country the meaning OF
American integrity, patriotism,
and justice, and how to practice
the Golden Rule
Through definite, construc-
tive measures it will train
women to be all around ef-
ficient as mothers, wives, and
hOme-makers. 1t will teach sane
spending, cooking, nursing, and
all essential home activities. 1t
will cooperate with educated
and refined women willing to
do their cOntented part to be
seIf-sustaining and an asset to
society. 1t will organize the
youth Of our country and so
train them that they will be
able to plant their feet with
less waste upon the platform Of
the generation before them"
Mrs. Ross has already estab-
lished headquarters in numer-
GUS cities, getting club women
and social leaders interested in
the movement. She is in Wash
ington for the same purpose.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-06-01

States will come to be trained
as leaders and then be sent to
community centers throughout
the country.
Mrs. Alice Bryant, one of the
first women to take up avia-
ton in the country, is her Sec
rotary and in Washington with
her. She has about 20 secre.
taries all over the country

Mrs. Ross, who can tell you
anything from how to cure
