wheat fields lies about 2,100 miles and 1.100 mllcs respectively from Mon- treal and Vancouver, Canada's two principal grain ports. The 2,100 mile route is made up of rail and lake while the 1.100 miles to Vancouver is all rail. The rate on export wheat per ton-mile on the Canadian railways is probably the lowest wheat rate in the world and no substantial reduction is likely to be effected. It can readily be seen that only" from 200 to 500 miles of rail separates the world's competitive wheat fields from the navigable sea.

The correshtiricleiice d is t a ri c e in Canada is 900 miles of rail plus 1,200 miles of lake. If, however, the deep YVRLEF-Wlly‘ were construct- ed, how close would Fort William be to the sea? It now lies away by about 81-2 to 9 cents. 1t is to be noted also that the rail rates on wheat in these other countries tire far higher than in Canada. The logical deduction is that tinder the stress of competition the foreign rail rates could be reduced while Canada's could not.

The question arises. would the con- struction of tire deep watei-ivay make competitive conditions easier? ‘It has been asserted very frequently of late that the St. Lawrence canals are only being used toa very small percentage of their total capacity. and that in any eicnt canals are an obsolete moans nf transport. This question is very important because the present canal situation ought to have a sub- stantial bearing or"i the answer to the quest-ion of the need or otherwise of an early decision on tire necessity or desirability of the St. Lawrence Deep Waterway".
