We have a huge surplus of unused power even In wartime, and existing projects have not had their full ca pacity Installed yet. , Do we want to invest untold mil lions of our money in the hope that a comparatively few concerns or Indi viduals may be permitted to' get a slight advantage in freight rates at the^expense of -the- majority ?

The Board of Engineers* report states that "local interests request that the Santee and Congaree rivers be improved to provide a navigable channel at least 7 feet deep, and that a depth of 12 feet be provided if possible, between Charleston and Co lumbia," and that **A desire was also eipresaed fo|* improvement - of the Wateree river to Camden to permit economical transportation of bulk Commodities by water.” Just who are these "Local Inter ests?*’ Who Is behind all this?
