Some calculations which I made a fow years ago showed that the in- creases in raiiway rates had in ef- fect moved the Midwest 200 to 400 nls further from scaboard. More- | over, some of the competitive agri- | cultural regions such as the Argen- tine and Australia are close to s board and with sea rates about the san s before the war, they are able to compete with the American tarmer in foreign markets to a cater advantage thap before th This incre in transport tien rates also affects the prices of many things which the farmer must buy, for much raw material which | comes into the Midwest pays the in- ed freight rate and this in turn the consumer. to pre-war 1uin to the railw have long as hope of reducing upon our bulk goods was throngh the modern ion of our great interior waterways. By mod- | ernization, T mean inc the preferable outlet. The admi stration has undertaken negotiations | with Canada upon the subject. If these negotiations fail we must con- sider alternative routes. In any event the completion of this great system of barge lines on the rivers and connecting the lakes with the gulf, of opening a shipway from the lakes to the sea, will make an ef- fective transportation system 12,000 miles in length penetrating twenty midwest states. It will connect these states with seaboard at the gulf on onc hand and with the North Atlan. tic on the other. And this means more than the mere saving .upon the actual goods shipped over these routes. If part of our crops can move to market at a seven to ten cent saving per bushel, the buyers’ competitive bidding for this portion of the crop will force upward the pricé of the whole crop. All Industry Affected And this development concerns not alone agriculture, but every in- dustry and business in the midwest. The manufacturer and merchant in this section is suffering from a cur- ilment of his distribution field; his business province has shrunk, This development should tend to increa manufacturing industry in the mid- west and thereby create a larger di- versity of employment and a greater local market for agricultural prod- ucts. Nor does this development mean the crippling of our railways. The annual increase in railways traffic will give to them a far more {and complete offset to these diver- ons. Moreover, everything that in- | creases the prosperity of the country also helps the railways.
