for ocean-going shipping, thus making every port on
the Great Lakes an ocean port, and for the develop-
ment of some two millions of electrical horsepower
from the canalization works has been under active
consideration of both the United States and Canada
for many years.
The interest in waterways by the music trade is
marked by the appointment of waterways commit-
tees in nearly all of the national associations in the
trade. The dams of the waterway and that of the
Mississippi will possibly be discussed at the forth-
coming conventions.
National attention to the development of this route
has become greatly advanced by the legislation of
eighteen states, creating a council known as the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Association, in-
cluding Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Oregon, with the gover-
nors of the states as members of the council.
The opening of the St. Lawrence route would effect
transportation involving nearly 42 million of our
population, and the large amount of electrical power
is of vast importance to the contiguous states. The
report of the International Joint Commission to Con-
gress in 1922 states:
"Existing means of transportation are altogether in-
adequate. A permanent problem is furnished by the
congestion at critical points and the pressure of
"peak" loads. Lake movement of commerce stops at
Buffalo and has to go forward by rail, a transfer which
places an expense burden on the shipper which, in
the case of the farmer, often impairs or completely
wipes out his profits. Development of the St. Law-
rence route, it is predicted, would permit unbroken
movement from lake port to Atlantic coast ports or
to principal world ports of destination."

Pa., has moved from the Exchange Building to a
