Show THE WILLIAM W. RITER WATERWAY PROJECT URGED MANY DELEGATES LISTEN TO SPEECH OF PRES. HARDING ON AGRICULTURAL SUBJECTS President Declares Administration Sympathy With Present Plight of Farmers; Remedies Suggested In Washington Attended by approximately 300 delegates representing agriculture In all Its plwses and the industries related to fanning, the national agricultural conference was conveued here Monday by Secretary Wallace and immediately heard from President Harding aleclaratlon of Interest In the present plight of the nation's farmers, together with a series of suggestions for remedying existing conditions. Feasibility of the St. Lawronee-Greu- t Lakes waterways project "Is unquestioned," President Hurdlng de. clared. "I have spoken," the president said, "of the advantage which Europe because of its easy access to tha sea, the cheapest and surest transportation facility. In our own country Is presented one of the world's most attractive opportunities for extension of the seaways many hundred mJles Inland. The heart of the continent, with Its vast resources In both agriculture and Industry, would be brought In communication w4th all the ocean routes fcy the execution of the St Lawrence waterways project To enable oceangoing vessels to have access to all the ports of the Great Lukes would have a most stimulating effect upon the Industrial life. '"The feasibility of the project Is unquestioned and it costs, compared with some great engineering works, would be small. Disorganized and prostrate, the nations of central Europe are even now setting their- hands to the development of a great continental waterway, which, connecting the Ithine and Danube, will bring water transportation from the Black to the North sea, from Mediterranean to to Baltic. Nationalistic prejudice and economic difficulties can be overcome by Europe, they certainly should not be formidable obstacles to an achievement less expensive and glvtng promise of yet greater advantages to the peoples of North America. No only would the cost of transportation be greatly reduced, but a vast population would be grouped overnight In immediate touch with the markets of the entire world." The president In an address touching upon the agricultural situation in detail, but without attemplng to dictate the course of the conference discussions, outlined a half dozeu broad questions. These briefly included: Practical development of the water resources of the country, both for transportation ami power, including plans for electrification of the nation's railroads. Feasibility of the St takes waterway Is unquestioned, the prosfdent said. Development of a thorough code o law and business procedure, with the proper machinery of finance, through some agency, to Insure the turnover capital rimrl be as generously supplied to the farmer and on as reasonable terms as to other Industries. Formation of cooperative loaning, buying and selling association. Creation of Instrumentalities for collection and distribution of useful and true Information so as to prevent violent fluctuations of markets. Methods for bringing snout further reclamation, rehabilitation and cxlen. slon of the agriculture, area, v Promotion of a new conception of the farmer's place In the national nodal and economic scheme. en-Jo- - .
