There are four The St. Lawrence Seaway has stood as, a great, international joint ...._,_yenture for a long:time but it could beib-Me a white elephant. In fact; it might even become an albatross if we can believe a recent brief presented by the United Co- operatives of___Ontario to the--task- force which is, studying the seaway and the Great Lakes. Canadians point with pride to this great undertaking, Americans, too, for a number of years have con- sidered it a boon to inland shipping. But is it? According to UCO — and they candidly confess they are not big users of the. Seaway — the demise of the St. LavVrence-Great Lakes Seaway has already begun. Why? Because the system is no longer competitive or efficient. UCO is, a farm co-operative with nearly 2,000 employees in Ontario and more than 47,000 members and shareholders. They charter in excess of 20 ships a year which use the seaway— not a lot cornpared to the total number of. ships using the facilities but a sjgnificant number with a measurable impact on the agricultural sector of central Canada. The UCO maintain that it costs about $20,000 in tolls and lockage fees for a fully4oaded Canadian vessel to pass-through the seaway. Ahout 80 per cent of the ships going through the system originate in Canada or are bound for a. Canadian destination. It stands to reason, then, that Canadians are paying for the bulk of the tolls. UCO suggest that tolls be • abolished because competing transportation systems such as rail or trucks do, not pay tolls. Makes sense, doesn't it? Two ...significEmt _ toll-free water- routes within the United States are available now. Prairie grain can be shipped down the Mississippi River right from Minneapolis to New Orleans, toll-free. In addition, ships can pass through the American locks at Sault Ste. Marie free of charge. Only a few miles away, the Canadian Soo locks are hardly used. In addition., American ships can use the Seaway and then apply to the U.S. government for subsidies. appie,atclo, Cob Trott*, (bite Cd tinui a Oni N313 7C 1 Other inequities suggested in the UCO brief include pilotage costs, service interruptions through strikes and labor unrest, in; consistencies in port expenses and the size and capacity of the system. "We need," states the brief, "some_ uniformity in—port charges." "We are,- depending upon the-. nature of our business, confronted with wharfage, top wharfage, side wharfage, cargo rates linesmen, throughput, weighing, checking, tallytnan, walking boss, stevedoring, documentation, customs, bonding and a myriad of other charged and fees, which may or may, not be applicable at other ports on the same, commodity carried on the same ship from the same origin." But the biggest threat to the Seaway is a plan that has been tossed back and forth in the United States for the development of an all- American system which would completely bypass. Canada. One: such plan has already been placed on the drawing board which would see a canal from Lake Erie go through. New York State to the city of New York, an upgrading of the Erie Canal which would be only about 300 miles long, from Buffalo to Albany, N.Y, This suggestion has been given new impetus by a British consulting firm which proposes to open the Erie Canal to huge, bulk . commodity barges and large, deep-sea ships. If such a projeCt ever materializes, the brief states, the St. Lawrence Seaway-Great Lakes System is doomed to the same ignominious fate as the Canadian Soo locks. Traffic losses on the system now mist be stemmed and all -services and ,operational business must be coddled, nurtured and ,nursed back to a position of pre-eminence, the brief states. Reduce the cost of using the ° system and assure users of in- terruption-free: service for not less than eight and a half months of the year aid the seaway may survive. It is, in my humble opinion, a brief that every Canadian should read. The' problems outlined are for- midable but not insurmountable.
