University gave to the gathering of
Lions and other citizens and Mem-
bers of the county council, also visi-
tors from Wiaagham and, Seaforth, at
the fortnight meeting of the' Gode-
rich Lions Club held at Hotel Sunset
Thursday evening, June 7th, Prof. Go-
forth cane to Goderich under the
auspices of the Geterich Lions .Club
which fixed the date of his visit so
that it would be convenient for the
• thetnberS of ` the county council to
hear him, and alsr3 invited the,Wing-
hatn and Seaforth Lions Clubs both
of which sent a delegation. The
dinner and address was thrown open.

the Members of the Lions Club, and

selves of the opportunity to hear. the
Views 'of an expert economist on the
important subject of the St. Lawn.
once development.
Prof. Goforth classed the deep)wat
erway `project with"" the building of'.
the Canadian Pacific Railway and the
Transcontinental, the subsequent his..
tory of which, justified the judgment
of` those who advocated these pro-
jects, as wise foresight, and went on
to consider the cffeut of the develop-
lnentfrom seven points of view,
namely the effect on navigation and
shipping, the effect on agrietrlture,
the effect on the hydroelectric, the
effect on industry, the -effect' on the
railways, the financial factor and the
international factor. During his
visit in Goderich that afternoon he
had 'lead a long conversation with
Manager Parsons of the Goderich
elevator from whom he had learned
considerable of the viewpoint of the
shipping interests at Goderich, and
an interchange of views had, he
thought, been,. of mutual benefit..
Under the heading of the influence
on navigation and shipping. Prof.
Goforth.'pointed out -that 'by 1934 the'
new Welland canal would be complet-
ed, giving 25 foot or 27 foot depth
down the lakes to Lake, Ontario.
There. remained the restricted area
between Prescott and; Montreal; be-
low Montreal there was a depth of
thirty feet. The canal for this res-
tricted area would mean as Much ex-
cavation
xcavation ab the. Panama canal and
the formation of three -lakes on the.
river with damming 'of the ;river at
Lachine. Ocean liners would still'
make. Montreal their terminal, as
the type of construction • of an ocean
vessel was different from that of a
lake vessel, the lake allowing of
greater length in proportion tothe,
size or the vessel than would be Pos-
sible' with • the ocean-going vessel.
For five months of the year the
route would he closed out account of
•u
winter ice nless the 'expcceriment•
being made with thernaite, etc.,.
should be found a means of keeping
the route open for a longer period
than was possible at "present. Asti -
mates .of the s tving hi:, cosi' of ship-
ment of grain by .the', St.' Lawrence
Deep Waterway varied front 2,9
cents a . bushel to 6 cents. , The
speaker's own estiariate was 5 cents
a bushel.
In answer to the question Would
not the deep 'waterway be injurious
to the traffic of places on the way
which were at present engaged in.
shipment of grain, such as Goderich,
the speaker said this had not been
the .experience of other places simi-
larly situated, The, construction of
the Manchester ship canal had .not.
had this effect and the same was
true, of both terminal points of the
Panama Canal; Panama and Colon
had both increased in importance.
As far as Goderich was concerned
the speaker ,pointed .out that the
greater part of the grain which pas-
sed through 'the Goderich elevators
was. for local consumption in Wes-
tern. Ontario, and the increased in-
dustrial .ctivity .the
would be
created in the hinterland of Goderich
by the availability..of more hydro
power would cause' such an increase
of population as to more than com-
pensate for the loss of export ship-
ments, The work of constructirn
would itself cause a large industrial
impetus and Canadian shipping
would underbid the 'need States on
the incoming traffic:
The effect on agriculture 'would be
greatest for Ontario and Quebec, but
the reduced rates on transportation
of grain would enable the western
farmers to pay off their mortgages.
As to the Hudson Bay route Prof,
Goforth said he had his doubts about
this route but in any event the
cheapest route would take the traf-
fic..
As the the hydro -electric factor the
speaker pointed out that the whole
.of the available power from Niagara
was in use at the present time and
the commission were looping about
for eother sources of power. The,
hydro electric commission had dou-
bled each six years 'and it was ex-
pected that there would be a short-
age of •f6o,o0o,000 h.p. in six years'
time, "a shortage of 6o,000 .h.p. in
Montreal alone by 1931. It was es-
timated that by 194.5 the whole; of
the four million •horse power which'
would be available from the St. Law-
rence would be needed. The power
would not be developed all at once'
but in blocks of power as the indite -
trial expansion would call for it.
Under the heading of industrial.
results, • Prof. Goforth pointed out
that' the number of people employed
per. thousand horsepower used was
385. Workers and their families on
this basis for four million of addi-
tional power would mean an increase
in population of 7,000,00d. This figure
given out by some, the speaker him-
self looked upon as an exaggeration,
but gave as his own figure, 4,000,000
increase in population•. During the
years 1920 to 1924 Canada lost more
population than she gained but these
years •were the period of the com-
plete collapse of agriculture. Now
there was a definite movement to-
ward the agricu,,turel areas of the
west, and Mr. Coats, the Dominion
statistician, gave it as his opinion
that the drift from the farm to the
city was over. This being the case,
all future industrial growthwould
have to be supplied by immigration.
In the days of our railway construc-
tion the labor brought here for that
work drifted back after the employ-
ment was gone, because this class of
labor did not take to farming, but
with plenty of industries going on
the labor that would be brought'
to Canada for the construction of the
waterway would be absorbed end re-
nraial,aa inthecountry.

'The 'Triumph ' f a Great Social PrincHe.n .„
Cash: ist ibut o made to .Mutual Life Poliesholtiersr fi.
Fifty-eight years ago a small body of citizens, rn ly lieving' in the adv4a1 i
tages of Mutual Life Insurance, banded themsel.res'togetherp and formed a
Mutual Company without capital and so without,,shar;eholders.
Their idea was to obtain the best of protection at a minimum outlay. That
'�� seen they succeeded may be seen from the fact that The Mutual Life of
Canada, is now holding assets amounting to over ninety mill on dollars to
guarantee the security of the policyholder's funds, and this year is making
a CASH DISTRIBUTION OF' SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO ITS ,POLICYHOLDERS, apart. a d,astde from their reg.'
ular dividends.
This event is wa
• without parallel in the history of Insurance in Canada, and
on thus record of good serveeq we base our claim
to- your consideration.
