Tha eonunlaaton la body existing- un der treaty with Great Britain tfc. ..t. of which la to d lacuna all matter aria- ma Decween in I a government and Can ada pertaining to watarwava tv, elusion of the eoramlaaion waa reached ur n aiuay and after report of er.glneers had beea examined. Prtaident Harding made no comment an tha recommendation. The oonatructlon of the waterway would mean that ocean going veaeela would hava a direct water avenae to tha ocean, where ahipmenta moat now ba transported to tha aeahoard by ran. In terior eltiea. like Minneapolis, St. Paul and Omaha could ahip for export by greatly abartened route. Tha area which would ba tapped la tha United State, tha eommiasioa figure, ha a population of 42.ft0e.00Q. The region la rich la , resources, particularly raw ma tetiala. It oontalna Iron ore, copper, eoal and timber. It feed million of cattle, hoga and . sheep and produce mora than half of all tha agricultural product of tha country.

Lake Michigan extenda down Into the heart of tha country affected, with harbors scattered along its im mense line. Involved in tha commission's consid eration was the question of existing railroad facilities, which now are held to be inadequate to meet the needs of tha Wee tern and Middle Western States lor shipments to the coasts. An expendi ture m iz.uoo.ooo.ooo to Improve rail transportation would be necessary, the commission believes, to obtain the same results that would come through- the construction of the lake-to-ocean water- rway. The commission recommends also the development of water power in connec tion with the waterway, while keeping the question of navigation to the front, and submits plana for this purpose. The commission has reached the con clusion that sufficient traffic will see tha new water route. Irrespective of the new traffic created as a result of the opening of that route, to Justify its con struction, said the commission's report. TO STIMULATE ISDCSTRY The commission has so much confi dence in the virility and resourceful ness of the people of these two countries that it is convinced the traffic avail able for the new waterway will rapidly Increase with the development of the area tributary thereto, and that the creation of new hydraulic power In con- f ." . ....... would be gives access to (ha Great lake.

That Canada proceed to complete the new Wei land canal, that the canal be Included In tha project and Its cost horns proportionately. That the proposed work be baaed on tha engineering board's report, but that there be additional study.
