The 'daring nerve of the backers of this scheme is uneuualled, and the public Ijin general is not aware of tiie t powerful propaganda and wire pulling Iwhich havo been going' on for months to lorce tli'H thing thiougln ) Mr. Kansom ii,. (Jids, of Michigan, ipionver automobile manufacturer, 'Las hud an opportunity to become familiar with soir.r of the details of this groat attempt to spend public mone;% unwisely. His Northern busi^rics* Interests and the fact that his oomipivnies arc enormous shippers of < manufactured goods have enabled Jiim to weigh the .arguments iairly and he has expressed strong opposition to the St. Lawrence cana! project. fie says: "In these very trying times, is does not seem wise to spend several hundred millions of public moneys on an nwarranted or unproved scheme The trend of the times is very wet! summed up in a recent m&ga/inc , editorial which states that one of the horrors of the recent war is ou loss of perspective in viewing public expenditures.

Come and <> over, ;;J part of the scheme to put the St. iiawrence project over, because with the waters of the Great Lakes to work with, there is practically no limit to what can he done along the ! New York State Barge route." Air. Olds quoted Governor Miller, who at tho Atlantic Deeper Waterways meeting at Savannah, Georgia recently denounced the proposed S.. Lawrence ship canal project, involving an unwarranted expenditure of .$200,000,000 or more, as ''crimnal foolishness" in wasting millions sadly, needed for other improvements and i as an attempt to realize an impossi| l.lo dream, adding that our tax bur-! j den would lie increased in order to (promote what is only an experiment, end asserted that we should improve our own ports and waterways instead of promoting a project in a foreign country. The governor is (further quoted as saying that the cost of the scheme was heralded over the country as only $250,000,000 and ; that this would include the develop-1 t?vent of 4,000,000 horsepower, which1 lie f-nid "is held out ?vs an alluring' J bail to the New England States." 11 I would be reasonable in the govevn(or\s opinion, to add at least twenty-' . t'!vr> nerrrnt as imr?vnnrfn<l which would bring the United States' i half up to more than $150,000,000 ,for?u canal 25 feel. deep. He estimated that it would H>st $50,000,000 1 to deepen the channels and harbors Of the Great Lakes to a depth of 25 feet so that the share to he borne by 'the United States would amount to '$200,000,000, which sum is one-fifth jof the total amount"; expended to date in improving all our rivers and 'harbors, On the economic phttso, Mr. Olds I j (iiioted State Senator Gibbs of New .York, who said: "It is outrageous at it Ms period of the financial crisis ' iconfronting the nations that anyone '' should have the audacity to ask the Government to spend a quarter of ti billion dollars so that private interests can profit from a venture foi which they them solves should pay.* j FiMl.her, Senator Gibbs is quoted a' saying that "heretofore we have taken the position that if water power i Ma'l thnt is desired?and there is in creasing evidence accummu'athig t< ' show that this is the real stake?

No ocean steamship company of any account could afford to waste the time of their great ocean liners, to come fifteen hundred miles inland. 3. Ocean liners are not made or adapted for canal work. 4. Transportation by modern lake carriers to Buffalo and thence by New York State Barge Canal to seaboard is and will continue to b* cheaper than the through route from lake ports io the transatlantic ports, on account of the great saving in distance through using the first route. 5. The misleading statement of cost brought forward by the advocates of the St. Lawrence route. If this project were started, no one knows the extent of the cost. G. Navigation of the St. Lawrence only open two or three months a i year, and this would not justify the' vast expense necessary for it* being I made navigable. t 7. Tlir* r?nr?nl n.. ! -..v wum uu tt'ur?uiuici%v Useless unless lake ports and channels were deepened at an enormous cost. 8. The operating cost of ocean steamers through such canal under the most favorable circumstances would he far greater than the cost of transporting grain through debaters to ocean ships at a real ocean port. 0. Insurance rates on the .St. Lawrence Rivf?r are much h'rrher than 1 fo?* At'ant'c norts. especially in fall and spring, when dangers of fog | and ico are most pronounced. 10. That as a power proposition, even if it could he justified on . nomic grounds, ;t. is not one for 'vhich the iroveriiinent of the United States would he justified in nledgm?' its credit, or spending tho money of its peonle. raised by taxation. 1J. Since private capital has no* ; displayed any willinp;ness to furnish i capita-' for the canal, it is appa;,e"t the appeal to our government to build it is evidence tliat private interests have not sufficient faith the ret'.'nis to be had from it. i 12. "P has none of the justifications of tlio Panama Canal, that is, of cutt.imr off enormous distances 1>G~ tween this country and its posses. ?ior.s, or as a matter of military and 'naval protection of our country's j coa 1 in fhv.es of war. . IS That before taking on the construction of n fnnnl ??t h: ?rh I cost, assurance should be fifiven th:>t the direct and indirect benefits are commensurato. Tt should be demonstrated that the existing facilities are iiis'iffi"iont and cannot ho made sufficient at a cost lower than this proposed shin caral. and if when th?
