_-- re atLakes--St. Lawrence Congress Meets At Detroit in Big Three-Day Conference Ever since the day, now some gen- ~ erations ago, when the country real- "ized that its advancement was meas- ured by its transportation facilities, men have dreamed of a gateway from the inland states to the sea. The question is as old almost as the search for the historical "northwest passage". Today, after years of discussion and study, it has become a national issue to determine whether the waterways which lose themselves in the Atlantic, shall become connected for navigation purposes-and form an outlet for the products and materials produced by the states west of the Allegheny mountains. Practical men and theorists have studied and figur- ~ ed and the last of the evidence is being compiled, preparatory to final action. Great Lakes Congress Action is to be forthcoming as the | result of the Great Lakes-St. Law- rence Tidewater Congress. to be held at Detroit, July 22-24, when all the authorities and supporters and students of the Great Lakes to the Sea movement will assemble. Out of the sessions, which will consider every angle of this enterprise, there ~ will come a policy, workable and reasonable, to put this project through. The congress will hold its sessions in the auditorium of the Detroit Board of Commerce, which organ- ization is acting as hosts for the delegates and visitors. Among the speakers scheduled to discuss this 'project are: Herbert Hoover, war- time food administrator: Charles E. Townsend, United States Senator from Michigan, father of the Lakes- to-Ocean movement; Medill Me- Cormick, United States Senator from Illinois; Senator Miles Poindexter. of ashington; Major General Lansing H. Beach, Chief of engineers, U. S. A.; Julius H. Barnes. former pres- ident United States Grain Corpora- tion. At the banauet to be held the even- ing of Tuly 22, Senator Irvine L. Len- root, Wisconsin, and Dr. R. S. Mac- Elwee, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, will be the principal speakers. Senator to Speak The congress will be welcomed to Michigan by Governor Albert E. Sleeper, and Mayor James Couzens will speak for Detroit. Charles H.

CHILD WELFARE WORK IS GIVEN IMPETUS BY SWEEPING CAMPAIGN Washington--Thirty -eight states, the District of Columbia and Hawaii, are actively engaged in measures to promote child welfare, according to a bulletin issued today by the chil- dren's bureau of the department of labor. This work, the bulletin said, is viltally necessary. : "Throughout almost the entire country," says the report, "there is an obvious need of the continuance of certain activities which may be said to constitute a children's year follow-up program." What is necessary, it was pointed out, is better birth registration, es- tablishment of health stations, pro- tection from illiteracy by "back-to- school and stay-in-school cam- paigns", and promotion of new child welfare legislation. UNITED STATES FACES : BIG PAPER SHORTAGE The United States faces the most serious paper famine in its history. { Despite the immense forest wealth 1 which once spread over the continent, there is not enough wood left today to make paper for our needs, and the situation is growing worse. The for. ests of New England and New York will last at the present rate only seventeen years longer. The forests of the middle west will last only eighteen years. Most of our supply today comes from Canada, and mil- lions of dollars are paid for the sup- ply. The United States has only one territory left in reserve, Alaska. It will not be possible to utilize this supply for years. It is hoped that we have learned our lesson from the wasteful habits we have developed and will cut the forests of Alaska in- telligently. In Europe a forest is made to yield for centuries without being seriously cut away. There were some pretty long waits for the Doctor in the horse-and-buggy days they have to try, wherever U. S.
