Menace to East Urging above everything else that the people of the whole Atlantic Seaboard work as one great community, and work patiently and un discouraged with a great goal ahead. J. Hampton Moore, president of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associa tion, former mayor of Phila delphia, and former member of Congress from Pennsyl vania, told an Elizabeth City audience last night of tha progress already made in de veloping a great system of inland waterways from Maine to Florida, and touched upon many other thingB besides.

Armstrong, secretary ? f t^e Manufacturer*' Club of Philadelphia, who had | been expected also, had been I.called back to his home city on |'a business mission, and failed to arrive. Opening with characteristic Lanecdotes. Mr. Moore laid s car<; |ful groundwork for the serious |business of the evening?the pre mutation of those problems which Ice the association which he ^joadH. He. told of an intensive Jcampaign being waged by 26 stales, mainly In the Middle West, for a gigantic program of canal isation from Duluth, Minnesota, along the St. Lawrence River to the ocean, declaring It would In volve an estimated expense of a million and a quarter dollars. "If they put It across, Elisabeth City and Edenton and the other Atlantic Heaboard Cities are doomed," he predicted. "There will be no money left for us. To prevent that, we triust be eter nally on the job. looking out for jour own interests." Quoting a surprising array of figures, the speaker set forth graphically what the Middle West had gained already In Gov ernment expenditure on water ways. "The Middle West has received two and one-half times an much In this way a? the Thirteen Orig inal States along the Atlantic Coast have had In their whole his tory." he declared, "snd the bulk [of the money has gone toward gylng three very unstable rlv toston long depended whol only one railroad, and it "111 chagrin that that city that St. Ix>uls, close to the nous coal mines had out stripped her la the manufacture of shoes, one of Boston's principal commodities. "I ask: Are we effete? A sur vey has revealed the startling fpet that there Is more unlm Sjj. Vrov- <1 land In the Thirteen Orlg m inat than improved land. ^ Our streams sre clogged. We must work hard for funds to have them opened up. to let a great stream I of profitable traffic Into our mar* i ketlng an<l manufacturing cen ters." The speaker outlined the sys tem of Inlsnd waterways along the* seaboard, describing as the most important project* Just ahead, the cutting of a new ship canal across New Jersey, to take the place of an antiquated water way not equipped to handle the volume of traffic which would oth erwlae pans through It. He told of the approaching completion of the Delaware River cut. a link In the waterway from Philadelphia to Baltimore which Is to be com pleted thla spring.
