Albany, N.Y., March 9.--The port | {of Montreal surpassed by Albany as | da fresh and salt water terminal,| {through the creation of an all-Am- | erican ship canal, is visualized in a! report favoring the project «which has been made to Governor Smith {by his "superintendent of public works, Col. Frederick Stuart Greene. Col. Greene proposes that the pres- ent state barge canal be converted into a ship canal, predicting that in this way it would elminate participa- tion by the United States in St. Law- rence canal project and would there- by enable an all-American route to compete successfully with the Cana- dian canal. The Greene report con- tinues: © 'That the Great Lakes at no dis-' tant" date must be connected with the Atlantic by a ship canals in- evitable. The evergrowing Yake commerce and increasing population of North-West Canada may eventu- aly demand both canals. But it is Jhard to understand why the United | States should not leave the Cana- | dian canal to be constructed by that icountry and devote its own re- sources to building a better American waterway from Lake Ontario to the Hudson river.
