Comparing tho lakes-to-the-ocean
plan to the Panama Canal, a project,
which he said "had engrossed the
leading nations of the world for 100
years", the senator said the United
States was now being asked to sup-
port "another waterway improvement
of even greater importance."
"Of the entire distance," he snid,
"more than 2000 miles from the head
of the lakes to the ocean, the improve-
ment of only 50 miies of artificial
channel is necessary; only 34 miles
of canal between Montreal, which is
now reached by ocean-going ships,
and Lake Ontario."
Pointing to the Panama Canal as a
monument to the memory of Theodore
Roosevelt, Senator Kellog declared
"and I can say to you that President
Harding proposes to make the con-
struction of this St. Lawrence project
one of the greatest accomplishments
of his administration."
"The cost is not significant" declar-
ed the senator. "It will open new

"The report of the International
Joint Commission irs a complete show-
ing of the benefits, the needs, and
the feasibility, and carries with it the
report of a board of engineers of the
two governments. Every single ar-
gument against this project which has
been advanced by its opponents is
met by the masterly report of the
Commission and the findings of the
engineers. These men approached
this subject from a perfectly impar-
tial standpoint without any local self-
ish interest, affecting their judgment.
No one can deny the ability and stand-
ing of the members of the commission
or the board of engineers, and their
report covers every question which
would need to be settled before deter-
mining upon the canal construction.
"The report shows that the traffic
is sufficient to make the "canal a suc-
