Excerpt from Ship Canals From the Great Lakes to the Ocean: Address Before the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, December 9, 1919 In approaching the discussion I would premise that it presents several aspects. The great ques tions which are to be considered m determining the propriety of undertaking the construction of any such channel are of two classes, national and international. Also the subject has a sectional aspect, that is, to what extent the construction of a ship canal would affect, advantageously or dis advantageously, different sections of the United States, and this involves both the national and international character of the channel. Again, this vital question is presented, assuming that the advantages and disadvantages to different portions of the United States would warrant en tering upon the enterprise, would the cost of con struction and maintenance be so large, when com pared with the advantages, as to make the build ing of the canal advisable, and this involves the subsidiary question whether such a canal would be used to any great extent by either lake or ocean going vessels.
