Construction of the deep waterway through the St. Lawrence River into the heartland of North 'America is ex- ; pected by Federal ¢conomists to have ea : at least as great an effect on Canada's economy as did thecompletion of the Transcontinental Railway system 2 sixty-eight: years ago. The change : will be" gradual and will accelerate during the next six years when the 'SEAWAY and 'power projects are being built-but there certainly won't be any sudden' overnight transformation, as people suggest or seem to think. The completion of the seaway will permit Labrador ore to compete in the iron markets around the Great Lakes to the extent that yearly ship- ments will jump to approximately 20 million tons, . : This will greatly benefit the steel F "industry in Canada, Another major commodity, which will reap benefits froem-the construc- tion of this seaw®y is, of course, .wheat. Freight charges alone, be- tween the head of the Lakes and Montreal, are expected to be cut at least b cents a bushel after reasonable tolls are paid. Western grain pro- ducers will be able to compete better in world markets. They will be, able to offer lower prices and happily-do it without suggesting that the basic : producer take a lower price. And be- : : cause ocean ships will be able to move Z quickly into the Great Lakes, there ; should never be any glutting of: Stor- > -- age facilities which in the past has forced western producers to take less for their grain. ~ e_ This cheap transportation will be a --~ new prop under Ontario's industrial prosperity, and will greatly increase the power development in Ontario and Quebec, It is predicted that Eastern Ontario particularly 'will benefit from new industry. All in all there is a - great deal of optimism about what the seaway will bring in the way of bene- fits, particularly to Ontario and Que- bec. It is to be hoped thit the work on this great project will not be de- re zi Report from Parliament By Michael Starr, M.P., Ont, Riding. layed any longer. The CCF Party, very forcibly op- posed to Premier Duplessis's stand in the latest Quebec-Ottawa tax dispute, is not too happy about. the attitude of [ite Quebec wing in the same field, The Provincial CCF group has tossed Party policy overboard and is cur- rently leaning heavily towards the Provincial rights side "of the ecdn- froversy. =5 ' The Bureau of Statistics has issued figures showing that new building 'units completed in Canada during the first quarter of this year increased to 20,327, compared to 18,392 in the same period last year. In the same release they show that Canada's labour income for February was up six million dollars from Jan- vary, and twenty-seven million dollars from February, 19563. The average weekly earnings for the main in- dustries surveyed by the Bureau reached a new record of $69.30 com- pared with $57.40 a year ago. Anticipated demands that the Fed- eral Government curtail immigration 'until the employment picture bright- ens, have duly materialized. Organized labour is urging Ottawa to turn off the immigration tap--temporarily. In- side parliament, the CCF group is taking a similar stand. Official sources intimate, however, that no drastic curtailment will take place The employment situation, they say, is already showing a substantial im- provement, Canadians, by the way, are on the other end of a somewhat similar move now afoot in the United States. A conference of American state labour legislators has adopted a resolution urging that no Canadians be permit- ted to work in the United States un- less it could -be demonstrated that their employment was necessary. The resolution, which came out of New England, is based on the theory that immigrant Canadian" workers are de- priving U.S. wage earners of hard-to- get jobs.
