St. Lawrence Seaway Expected To Add
Greatly To Great Lakes Development

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."

Brain Power
Claimed Wasted
The Dalles (IPl Gov. 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.
