after the case is ready for trial,
having been speeded up six months
3,008 in Civil Division.
Justice Oscar R. Luhring, pre-
trial and assignment justice, said
there were 2,544 civil cases on the
calendar that was ready last Octo-
ber. So speedy was progress that it
became necessary to compile sup
Elementary calendar in February,
adding LIST cases. In addition, 800
cases not on the calendar, which
were advanced for trial due to rea-
sons deemed meritorious, were dis
posed of since October.
A total of 3,008 cases was disposed
of in the civil division of District
Court since last october. OF these
1897 were taken care of by trial and
there were 1,0ll cases discontinued
or compromised by the opposing
parties without trial

handicapped by the loss of the serv-
ices of Justice Peyton Gordon, who
retired several months ago due to
i'll health. In addition to Justice
Gordon's absence, Justice James M.
Proctor has been engaged on re-
vision of the court rules, expected to
be promulgated shortly, which kept
him off the bench for about three
months of the term.
81 Criminal Cases Pending.
On the criminal side of the court,
there are now awaiting trial 154
cases, officials said today, 40 of these
being those of persons confined to
jail. Efforts will be made to clean
the Jail cases up before the summer
recess. There are - homicide cases
included in those awaiting trial.
United States Attorney Edward III.
Curran said today that because Of
the services of three judges on the
criminal bench the docket Is lin
good shape
In the criminal division, Justice
Proctor consumed 40 trial days in
the American Medical Association
antitrust case.
Officials say that 1872 per cent of
the civil calendar has been disposed
OF since October. This mass of
work was done by seven judges
doing civil work.
Justice Luhring pointed out that
the court is now 144 cases ahead
OF the corresponding period of last
year and that the tribunal has a
months work ahead before the
summer recess. Divorce cases total
about half the civil business of the
court and about 978 uncontested
divorce cases have been disposed of
recently. Justice T. Alan Colds
borough, assigned to Criminal Court
No. l now, previously handled a
great number of uncontested divorce
cases and aided materially in re-
ducing the civil docket, officials de-
clared today.

was submitted by the Commerce De-
partment to the President this
morning.
The report contended that three
Eastern cities, from which much
opposition to the. project has arisen,
would stand to gain much and lose
but little" from the project. The
cities were New York, Boston and
Buffalo.
On the transportation aspect of
the project the President asserted
today that:
Our defense production is a gi-
gantic assembly line. ssTransporta-
tion is its conveyor belt. If raw
materials cannot flow freely to our
great industrial plants and the
products then cannot move contin-
uously to the front, defense breaks
down. Bottlenecks in transporta-
tion are as serious as shortages of
power"
At this point the Chief Executive
reminded the Congress that ex-
panding production will burden
railroads to the limit. Completion
OF the great highway" of the St.
Lawrence will relieve this trans
portatlon bottleneck, he added.
1T will cut by more than 1000
miles" he went on, the stretch of
dangerous open water which must
be travelled by supplies to Great
Britain and strategic North Atlantic
bases. 1t will increase our capacity
to build ships. If we start the
seaway now scores of additional
merchant ships may be built in
coastal yards by transferring a por-
tion of the longer-term naval pro-
gram to the Great Lakes"
Meeting the criticism that the
project would require too much
time to be of emergency value, Mr..
Roosevelt reminded the Congress
that mo comparable power, ship
building and transportation facili-
ties can be made available in the
time required to construct this
project"
Early Authorization Urged.
In concluding, Mr.. Roosevelt
said: Il know of no single project
of this nature more important to
this country's future in peace or
war. Its authorization will DEM
onstrate to the enemies of democ-
racy that, however long the effort,
we intend to outstrip them in the
race of production. In the modern

5,606,800, and Hampton Roads, g.
404,200. Though the report made
no estimate of the probable diver
sion from these three ports, the
yardstick used for Boston would
indicate loss of more than 100000
tons for Baltimore, and 100000 for
Philadelphia. and diversion from
Hampton Roads slightly above the
Boston figure of 256 900 tons.
Assuming utilization of the st.
Lawrence Seaway to its full capac-
ity, New York would lose 10000
tons of foreign traffic, or about "a
per cent of its annual foreign water
borne commerce, the department es-
timated.
"On the basis of conservative esti-
mates of future developments in
population, and economic activity,
one may confidently expect that
water-borne commerce in New York
will expand to compensate many
times over any possible losses in

world, that race determines the rise
and fall of nations
Il hope that authorization will
not be delayed"
The Commerce Department re-
port placed at 100000 tons an
nually the probable diversion of
foreign commerce to the seaway
from the six major Atlantic and
Gulf ports, New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia. Baltimore, Hampton Roads
(Norfolk and Newport News and
New Orleans. In 1887, imports and
exports through these six ports to-
tailed 49,491 100 tons.
Boston's share of this total was
3,151 200 tons, or ga per cent. Ap-
plying this percentage to the as
sumed total diversion of 100000
tons, the report estimated that Bos-
ton would suffer an annual foreign
trade loss of 256,0OO tons.
SOC, 0,000-Ton Loss for Baltimore.
In 1887, Baltimore's foreign trade
was 8,l89,000 tons; Philadelphia S,

foreign commerce on account of
the st. Lawrence SeaWay," the re-
port declared. New York will ac-
quire new water-borne traffic both
to and from the Great Lakes area,
it declared.
In the light of the analysis of the
effects on New York, Boston and
Buffalo, the report expresses the
view that Baltimore, Hampton Roads
and other port cities will also gain
much and lose little from construc-
ton of the project.
