A Thought For Today
What About the Big Ships?

charge that more than 91 per cent of the American Merchant Marine and S cent of the worlds tonnage would be barred from the ongroposed St. Lawrence Sea way connecting the Atlantic and the Great Lakes has been association which includes majority of the American merchant fleets and operators In letter to Sen Carl Hatch the Institute claims that only 404 of the 5O20 ships built for merchant fleet since 1859 could pass through the 27foot channel from Montreal to Lake ontario when fully loaded Of those 404 130 coastal vessels
 At the same time the Institutes letter continues for egn shipping would carry the bulk of the trade through the waterway since 72 per cent of the worlds merchant shs of 25oo draft less foregowned The letter makes the point that draft deeper than 25 feet would be unsafe because vessel draws six inches in fresh water than Ill the denser salt water because ship rides lower in motion than at rest and because there must be some allowance TOT bottom clearance.
 natural question is: Why not build smaller shallow draft ships negotiate the seaway? The Institutes an- that the construction cost of smaller vessel IS dis as large crew big while carrying about onehird the cargo at onethird the revenue With Americas hgh construction and maintenance costs and high wages ana ing standards aboard it's merchant vessels lines must carry bigger cagoe bigger ships in order to compete with foreign operators.
 Naturally it is to be expected that these charges will be investigated thoroughly and considered carefully The St. Lawrence Seaway which proposes to take oceangong ships into the industrial heart of this country promises great opportunity and great expense It would be bitter irony II this gigantic project partly sponsored and financed by ths country should be closed to most of our merchant eet which now includes 60 per cent of the worlds tonnage.
 What it would cost to deepen the seaways channel to commodate larger shps and what mechanical obstacles would be encountered in doing should be explained to Congress fully possible 1t would then be to Con- to match those difficulties and expenses against the possible difficulties and expenses involved in excluding the greater part of fleet from field of opportunity and dvertng the greater part of the from that field away from our shores.
