PROJECT TO DEEPEN THE ST. LAWRENCE
U.S. CRITICISM
Destructive criticism of the exten- sive international project to deepen the St. Lawrence to allow ocean-go- ing vessels to reach the Great Lakes, and to develop hydro-electric power by the construction of barrages, is contained in 's book issued by the p Institute of Economics of the Brook- inge Institution of Washington. This book, entitled "The St. Lawrence Navigation and Power Project," after A close study of the scheme, sets standpoint of the shipowner, the forth the conclusion that from the taxpayer and the pablle, the project

Shipping Traffic
It is found that a channel 33 ft. deep would be required In place of the 27 ft. channel hitherto suggest, ed. As to whether the highest type of shipping would be attracted to the route the book is decidedly seen. tical Analyses are given of the ghief Iterps of potential traffic, auch aa grain and flour, lumber, pulp and paper, coal, patroleum, fertilisers, machinery, motor vehicles, food pro- ducta, and basle raw materials.
The Anal estimate is that 10,500,000 short tons of traffic might usa the waterway, assuming that it wore, brought to completion in the year 1940. Of this total, to per cent. represents grains, of which two-thirds would be of Canadian ori- gin,
Relating traffic to annual overhead charges, a cost per ton of traffic is found. which exceeds the likely save ing in transportation charges. The navigation project is therefore de clared unable to meet the test of economic soundness. Much has been said, about the value of the water. way as a potential reserve of trans- portation capacity and as a regula- tor of railroad rates. The authors contend that neither in the United States nor in Canada is there found to be need for constructing the waterway for such purposes.
The power phases of the project are treated in a report by the en- gineering Arm of Sanderson and Porter. The Institute of Economics finde that it would be impossible to market St. Lawrence power in large distant communities in the United States in competition with power from other sources. Also there are not at present, elther on the United States or the Canadian side of the river, industries of a kind and mag nitude able to absorb the great amounts of power which would be available. Therefore, it concludes, its exploitation at prepent would be premature.
