Shall We Move the Atlantic?
XII—A Look Forward
Here ends the story. Named by the
legislatures of 18 states as the fact
finder and the fact-distributor regard
ing the need of a ship channel direct
from the Great Lakes to Europe,
the Great Lakes - St. Lawrence
Tidewater association has gathered
together and presented to the reader
in this series of articles the most
important facts. It has attempted to
tell only that part of the story which
is necessary to an understanding of
the real situation. Much remains to
be told.
Your association, for example,
could easily expand this series into
twice the present length, merely by
answering the many misstatements
that are circulated regarding the ne
cessity for deep-water transportation
from the mid-continent to other lands
and concerning the practicability of
the route.
For example, it is said by the op
position that the St. Lawrence route
is frozen up seven months in the year.
The fact is that it is closed for the
same length of time as the Great
Lakes, and that is a period of ap
proximately four months, seldom any
more. Much has been made by the
New York opposition of the fact that
ice and fogs are to be found at sea
sons of the year on the St. Lawrence
route to Europe. The same opposi
tion d >es not mention that the New
York route has the same ice and the
same fogs to encounter. The mid
continent is warned by the New York
opposition of the great peril to our
national commerce, and to our nation
al existence, of sailing through the
foreign waters of the St. Lawrenc?.
This opposition fails to inform its
own people, and those of the mid
continent, that a ship sailing from
the head of Lake Superior to Buffalo
crosses and recrosses the international
border some 20 times, and that as
yet, the stars have not fallen. The
opposition to the St. Lawrence ship
channel warns against the danger of
transferring our port business from
New York to Montreal, but says
nothing about the fact that Cleveland,
Toledo, Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Superior and Duluth are

No man or woman can make a mis

ally, says a well-known authority. Elat
ing too much rich food creates acids,
which excite the kidneys. 'They become

poisons from the blood. Then we get
sick.
trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
lessness and urinary disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at- j
tended by a sensation of scalding, begin
drinking a quart of water each day,
also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water before breakfast,
and in a few days your kidneys may act
fine.
Rheumatism, headaches, liver
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys ; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
Madder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water drink
which everyone should take now and
then to help keep the kidneys cléan
and active and the blood pure, thereby
often avoiding serious kidney complica
tions.

United States ports, and at these and
the other Great Lakes ports our car
go destined for Europe would load
and that such cargoes would proceed
direct.
The mid-continent has not as yet
heard th e last of these misleading
arguments. They should be valued
at what they are worth—as propa
ganda for the purpose of delays—as
stories put out to break down the
morale of the West, stories intended
to divide its public sentiment and
weaken its demand for the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence ship .channel to
essential to its life, growth and pros
perity.
When the official report of the en
gineers is made, when the treaty be
tween the two nations has been pre
pared and is submitted to the senate
for approval, this propaganda will be
redoubled. Only by knowing the
facts and only by insistence on the
part of the marooned interior, its
congressmen and its senators stand
ing individually and collectively for
such a treaty with Canada—a treaty
that will bring the ocean inland and
that will make it possible for the
mid-continent to expand its indus
tries, strengthen Us agriculture, wid
en its margins of profits, and there
by stimulate its growth—only by
reason of insistence on the part of
the mid-continent so informed and
represented, will such a treaty be ap
proved and such a treaty cannot come
too soon.
The commerce of the United States
as a whole is expanding. The inter
change between section and section is
growing. The need for more trans
portation facilities, the need for moie
port outlets is a pressing one. The
necessity for better, quicker and
cheaper connection between the in
terior and coast is evident. With the
expansion of our business, has come
a tremendous expansion in the car
rying of goods. *
Twenty-five years ago the railroads
of this country were carrying 13 com
modity tons per year for each per
son; in 1920, this movement had in
creased to 30 tons per capita, and the
rail movement of commodities
capita in 1924, amounted to 35 tons.
It is a fact worth noting that the
peak of traffic on the Great Lakes
comes at that time of the year when
the railroads of the United States
and of Canada are the busiest. This
happens not in one year alone, but
JT)
per
season after season. The Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence ship channel is
a necessity. It is necessary to the
economical movement of present-day
business. It is necessary for the
growth of business for the future.
It is necessary to the development of
our unused agricultural mineral and
timber resources. It is necessary to
the fullest and freest interchange of
commerce between the coastal area
of the country and the landlocked in
terior. Moving the Atlantic to the
mid-continent will mean the steady
growth and future prosperity of the
nation.
And what about Canada?
For 100 years the United States
and Canada have been at peace. Dur
ing that 100 years of peace they have
steadily developed this great water
way as a means of communication for
the use of the two nations. Their
money has been invested in the deep
ening of channels, the building of
locks, the construction of canals.
Neither has created any advantage
that the other has not enjoyed. For
Canada, the problems of transporta
tion are the same as they are for
he United States. The joint use and

in the feed lot.
Quicker maturity of all classes of
livestock has become a most impor
tant factor and its influence is being
felt in production, marketing and fi
nancing of the industry.
This change in producing methods
far as the cattle industry is con
cerned has been brought about by
several elements. The most impor
tant of these has been the trend of
so

of beef together with economies ef
fected through a quicker turnover of

new prosperity to their millions of
people and will make for continued
concord between Canada and the
United States.
The work of building the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence ship channel will
require five years. It is a job for
steam hammers, blasting equipment,
and concrete and steel. It will re
quire the best engineers of the two |
nations to direct that job, but im
proving the St. Lawrence channel is
not so great a task as was the build
ing of the Panama. The preliminary
negotiations can be" completed, the
treaty signed and approved, and the
canal built, all within less than seven
years, and when done, the ocean is
moved westward for all time to come.
.
More than 40,000,000 people now
living are concerned in whether or
not this accomplishment comes in our
time or whether it is indefinitely
postponed. When the 40,000,000 now
living- shall have passed on and the
number of people living in the cities
and countryside they once occupied is
doubled or trebled, the historian of

Twentieth century the people of the
United States and the people of Can
ada joined hands, swept aside the
doubts and suspicions and selfishness
that tended to divide them, and that
together they built a channel that
connected the Great Lakes and the
Atlantic, moved the seas of the world
into the heart of the American con
tinent, gave to that great continent

of that continent an opportunity to

Another element is that the entire
industrial structure of the country
has changed in the past few years
