Jackson, who toured the St. Lawrence Sea way route, interviewing officials. By ROBERT E. JACKSON . United Press Correspondent Washington w What Is the St. Lawrence Seaway going to do for America? Let the men w ho know it most intimately speak n United Press interviews of its limitations and its great promise. First. Lewis G. Castle, the Du luth, Minn., banker who is ad ministrator of then St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corp., headquartered in Washington: "The Seaway cannot help but dd greatly to the economic value of the Great Lakes area and the national economies of Canada and trie entire United States. Period of Readjustment "There will be a period of re adjustment for the railroads and eastern ports but the growth of population and the increase in import and export trade will re quire all the transport of the country. The Seaway is going to add assets and resources to our country that will help rath er than injure any so-called com petitors. "I have tride to warn that not every port city in the Great Lakes can be a world port. It would be unwise to go ahead without close scrutiny. I have urged an element of restraint. "The tolls situation is still un der study. We are confident that it is going to be worked out satisfactorily for the users and will invite traffic. We have a full sense of obligation to the users. "The initial enthusiasm for the Seaway still prevails. Noth ing has stirred the imagination of the American people like this project. A lot of people who oppose it are now enthusiastic about the Seaway." Industry Main User N. R. Danielian, president of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Assn. and chairman of the Sea way Users Committee, on tolls: "Industry will be the main user, up to 80 per cent of its po tential capacity. Industry will use it if it is going to be more economical. This will depend greatly on the toll charged. "The Seaway is going to be a success or failure depending on whether it attracts bulk cargo like grain and coal. This is a matter of cents, nickels and diies rather than dollars. "The dramatic thing is the tre mendous industrial expansion unleashed by the Seaway proj ect. The Midwest will remain the hub of heavy industry. There was a danger it was going to lose it as a result of the deple tion of iron ore. "The primary effect of the Seaway will be the improve ments for domestic trade. This is the key to the Seaway. "A big educational job lies ahead. I favor factual exposition to propaganda. The ports must be able to demonstrate to a man that he can make and save money. The ports must be able to act as well as talk. Many Out on Limb "Many port directors and may ors went out on a limb. It is pa thetic how some of the small towns have fallen for propagan da. But there is a long-range pos sibility for them in industrial development." Lionel Chevrier, first presi dent of the Canadian Seaway Authority, interviewed in Cuta way: "The Seaway is going to add $100 million a year to the value of goods and services in Canada. There will be industrial develop ment from one end of the Sea way to the other. The results will be bigger because the United States has come into it. The Americans didn't give a hoot. They were looking south. Now they are looking north . . . so the cost is doubling! Or tre bling: It will be more than worth it." Mayor Richard Daley of Chi cago: "The Seaway will make us the inland port of the world. We expect tremendous growth, expansion and building ... I favor cooperation with other lake ports. There is no reason to run mad competing with each other. We are sister cities who can help one another and ap proach it in unity." Early Expansion Seen Harold M. Mayer, professor of geography at the University of Chicago, an author and expert on the Seaway: "I believe the Seaway will be used at virtual capacity from the outset and within 10 years there will be pressure for expansion. The com mercial and industrial develop ment around the lakes is going to be tremendous. "The Seaway will not make Chicago the metropolis of the world but it will let it compete effectively. The Metropolitan population should increase to eight million in 1975 but it won't pass New York. Chicago is the top - ranking city for a one mil lion square mile area which is responsible for the principal products used in American for eign trade. The Seaway will be major factor in enabling the Midwest to overcome the dis advantages of Its inland position. "New York and Washington are and will be where the major decisions are made. But the main axis of the United States in New York and Chicago, and it will continue to be so. Chicago's power in this axis will increase, without ever passing New York. Some Disadvantages "In terms of the American way of life, in the long run the Seaway might bring a net loss in quality. It may create more problems than it will solve the influx of lower-paid workers, the flight to the suburbs, popu lation pressures, racial tensions, the unplanned growth of sub urbs, a less well-informed city population which tends to help machine politico flourish. "In Chicago a non-profit for eign trade training center has been established, along with new foreign consulates. Airlines offer direct services to Europe and South America without stopping in New York. Majo banks have established foreign exchange and foreign trade deparments. "In the last three or four years there has been an increasingly cosmopolitan outlook. N e w s-( papers are softening their iso lationism. There is more cover age of world affairs. "The attitude of the Midwest is changing. This is one of the most significant things about the Seaway."

Robert D. Holmes, speaking at a $5 per plate Democratic dinner, said Wednesday night that state ap pointments are one of the most important functions of a gov ernor. Holmes accused Republicans of wasting 50 per cent of the brain power in Oregon during their control of state govern ment. He said the GOP did that so much that it weakened its own administration which was one of the reasons the Demo cratic party got in. Holmes, speaking of Indus trial development, said "It is well and good that we should go out and secure more industries for Oregon but we must not overlook the ones "already here." He also said he has drawn up a protest against a Federal Power Commission examiner's recommendation t h a.t Pacific Northwest Power Company be givena 50-year license for de velopment of Mountain Sheep and - Pleasant Valley dams on the Snake river.
