of Big Seaway Pro
ject Up to Congress
Washington.—The detailed plan for
the construction of the St. Lawrence
seaway, which would make ocean ports
of Buffalo. Cleveland, Detroit, Chieago
and other cities on the Great Lakes,
was submitted to Congress Monday, to
gether with the recommendations of
the international joint commission that
the project be undertaken at once bv
the United States and Canada.
The cost of construction of a St.
Lawrence ship canal of 25 feet drait is
estimated at $252 000,000, and of the
new Welland canal at $60,000,000. The
undertaking, it is proposed, shall be
financed bv sale of bonds by the Amer
ican and Canadian governments, these
to be retired from proceeds of the sale
of the vast volume of water power de
veloped.
More than 42.000,000 people in the
Middle and far West would be bene
. fited by tLis schema to enable ocean
ships to penetrate to the heart of the
agricultural section, exchanging car
goes of foreign imports directly for
cargoes of grain and other products.
Such Eastern opposition as has de
veloped to the project the commission
finds unjustified, declaring that the
New Yark barge and other canals are
inadequate to relieve the acute existing
transportation shortage and pronounc
■ ing the St. Lawrence route superior to
all others for the purpose of affording
the interior of the country direct ac
cess to the ocean.
The recommendations of the joint
commission follow:
1. That the governments of the
! United States aod Ganada-enter into an
agreement by way of treaty for a
