"' Seaway Bound To Aid Transportation System What does the proposed St. Lawrence seaway mean fo Can- ada? This story, one of a series, described changes it will make in the country's transportation picture -- explaining why some early Canadian objections to the project have died down. By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor It Canada today needs a deep seaway from Atlantic to Lakehead, Cnada of the future fairly shouts it. i to current estimates, cel bo by 1980 have 25,000,- 000 le compared with today's 15,000,00 , and a production of $65,- 000,000,000 compared with today's $24,000,000,000. If these estimated are borne out she will be scrambling in the next quarter century to keep up with the needs of her already-strained transportation system. A seaway is part of the p! St. Lawrence seaway and power project. In its Jouer phase, the project would include develop- ment of 2,500,000 horsepower of electricity in the 47-mile interna- tional rapids secton of the St. Lawrence river between Prescott building le 115 miles of cott to Montreal, to nt 14-foot canals. low Passages allow only small Sips of about - 2,500 tons deadweight capacity. The penal is tri ment of costs. In the past, some parts of Can- ada opposed the seaway with the argument that it would take from a Srowing one bigger helpings everyone. sort of thinking ex- Donald Gordon, presi- anadian National Rail- he said "Whatever tends fo open Canada and help it grow is for this railroad" --indicating presumably that what the railways may lose to the sea way in one respect they will gain in another. of ways, when A gine "When the seaway comes we shall have to double the facilities of Montreal harbor." And looking farther east he said: "Maritime ports will hande more Canadian goods than ever." A deep seaway will bring more ocean ships into the Great Lakes. Increasing numbers of small, mod- ern European freighters are al- eady 1 a inland, and Faropesn shipping com gs are planning for opportunities that they believe a seaway will bring. It is felt, however, that it will be more economic to ship bulk cargoes, such as wheat, to Mont- real or farther points by lower- cost lake "ships. Additionally, a . large proportion of the grain crop is carried as ballast in liners which won't come into the lakes. CHANGES DOWN RIVER The difference would be that rain would move farther east : fore the close of lake natiga- tion and would be stored at ports from Montreal down. 4 Rimouski, Que., and Louisburg, N.S., are among ports mentioned as possibilities this connecton. Rimouski, or a port farther up the river, might fit into a pattern whereby ships carrying Labrador iron ore to Lake Erie would pro- ceed, say, to Port Colborne at the eastern end of Lake Erie, or even to Port Arthur or Fort William, to pick up grain. In any event, say seaway stu- dents, unlarged storage from Montreal eastward would increase the winter railway flow of grain to Canadian Atlantic ports. In summer, on the other hand, they see products of the Atlantic provinces including lumber, newsprint and agricultural prod- ucts--finding low-cost water trans- portation into central Canada and the United States. with less de- pendence on overseas markets. SPURS COMPETITION In regard to possible injuries from the seaway, a Bank of Nova Scotia survey comments: "The Cape Breton coal industry will be faced with increased com- petition from United States coal in its present Quebec market. Sim- ilarly, the inland shipyards will be subject to competition from coas- tal yards and perhaps from over- seas yards, tho hey may get an incre volume of mainte- nance and repair work. "The cannallers (smaller ships which now rate in the 14-foot have probably been exaggerated. The United tates os which opposed the Tennessee Val- Authority as it now opposes . Lawrence power, found that, |far from being decreased, con- sumption of coal was enlarged in the area served by 'TVA because of the industrial stimulus provided by cheap water-power." CHEAPER CARGOES? Seaway economists estimate that five cents a bushel will be saved on the cost of gran) shipments to Montreal when the big lakers can go right through; and perhaps another cent through elimination of lake transhipment cost. Further, in the words G. G. McLeod, department of transport econo- mist: "Since upbound cargoes promise to outweigh the down--Jlis the | opposite of today--competition for downbound grain' cargoes should lower rates to give them the sater part of the benefit." Er. MeLeod says, too, that Brit- |ish Columbia lumber may find the | seaway a lower-cost. route into cen- tral Canada. Capacity of the present 14foot cal between Lake Ontario and Montreal is about 10,000 tons a year. Estimated Sapacity of the 27-foot canals would about 50,- 000 tons, it is proposed to build them so that Sapaity can be doubled to 100,000,000 tons, and so they can be deepened to 30 feet if desired. ' From where will such tonnages come? As one item, Labrador Iron Ore Company, scheduled to come into 'production next year, says the sea- way would allow it to ship 20,- 000,000 tons of ore a year instead of the 10,000,000 tons to which it feels present facilities limit it; and the bigger figure is by mo means regarded as & ceiling. As already indicated, a larger | movement of grain is another ex- pected item. Probably the biggest factor, how- ever, is Canada's expected 0 It is this which promises big- ger helpings from a bigger pot. JOHN SACHY sor : SPORT ¥ COATS! See our grand se- lection of sport coats.
