A NATIONAL PROJECT?
The Grdertch Signal went, to know
how many supporters the Government
might count on from Toronto if lt pro.
cevded with the development of the 8t.
Lawrence wafervray.. The 'Glebe has
urged that tide great work be under-
taken. but has never assumed that
action by the Government would be
looked upon as a bribe to voters or
that tbe Govetrnment would he in-
fluenced by iorrspective support from
any municipality In reaching its de-
cision. nor does 1t believe that Tor-
onto's vote would be gresay affected
one way or the other. The St. Lawr-
ence Improvement 1s not a Toronto
enterprise. Any benefit which this
city would receive would be In propor-
tion to that gained by the entire Pro-
vince -neither more nor less If
any section of Ontario will profit more
(nags at9ltlbrrpt will ha
part. which needs more and cheaper
power. The Industrial progress of
these mintiest awaits the St. Lawr-
ence Improvement. But every lake and
river port. including Goderich, should
he alive to the benefits to come from
up-to-date navigation facilities. To
oppose a development which will matte

ado. This is not a Toronto enterprise:
!t in a Dominion -wide project -slbr-
onto (,lobe.
The St. Lawrence improvement may
nor be a Toronto enterprise. hut advo-
cacy of the octeme appears to be con-
fined alnto*t solely to Toronto. These
who wish the King Government well
would advise it against undertaking a
project which almost Ineritahfy would
land It In dimeultles and which has
only a sectional support. The (Globe
admits that Toronto would not support
the Government In the deeper water-
way project ; indeed, The insole will
hardly dispute the tire -010 that not a
single constituency within fifty miles
of Rlnronto can be d0pwended upon to
return a Oorerm'dent supporter whe-
ther the C,orernment does or dopa not
adopt the Waterway erheme. If the
•ertton of the country 'whieh proffers**
to want the deeper waterway will not
give'lta electoral support to the projeet.
s(oilld it not be well for the Govern-
meist to pay heed to the voices of other
sections of the country in •which the
pro/tomtit la not looked upon so linear -
ably as it 1s In Toronto? No (or-
ernment can get along without voter.
