war years and who want relief "rather
than any addition to their expenses.
The matter is an illustration of what
this column has all thong been trying
to point out --that labor costs are not
a matter• solely between employer and
employee but that they affect inevitably
the whole community. Increased costs
in one industry mean in the long run
increasedcosts in every other industry,.
and as prices level op wage increases
are swallowed .up by increases in the

no prospect of its application. .

A. Norwegian freighter has already
sailed from Europe with a cargo' for'
Great Lakes' ports as far inland as
Chicago, and it is announced that a
Dutch and two Swedish lines will •be
in the freight tra,d11i etween European
and Great ,Lakes .,ports this season.
This is nothing new, of course; for
'years freighters have been crossing the
,ocean and comingup the entire chain
of. Great Lakes. Propaganda for the
deeper St. Lawrence- and Great Lakes
waterway would almost lead one who
didn't know to believe that without the
deepening of the waterway the Great
Lakes were completely shut off from
the Atlantic. 'A deeper waterway
would of course allow larger vessels
to reach the Great Lakes from Europe,
but freighters built specially for the
Great Lakes trade could not venture o'h'
the Atlantic because of their peculiar
construction. So far as navigation is
eoncerned, the expenditure of a huge
amount of money in deepening the
waterway would only open the Great
Lakes trade to larger foreignaves€tels
for' the seven months of the year the'
fit. Lawrence is open for navigation.
