St. Mary'a Ga,. June 11.—At the
.Atlantic to Gulf Canal conference,
here today, called tor representatives
of eGorgta, Florida, Alabama, and
other states by Governor Hush M.
Dorsey, of Georgia, Governor Dorsey
concretely and yet In detail set forth
the proposed project—the cutting of a
canal from 8L Mary’s, Ga, on the At
lantic, to St Mark's, on the Gulf coaat
—affording a waterway from the Gulf
to the port at Cumberland sound.
Governor Dorsey, as chairman of
the Georgia Connell of Defense, orig
inated the plan and he made the ad
dress of the conference today. He
spoke of the times which demand ev
ery effort to win the war; of the
states’ part In national endeavor, and
of this project aa a distinct movement
of Georgia and Alabama and Florida
to eld the government In affording a
shorter, quicker, all-the-year channel
for coal and for other products from
Gulr to Atlantic port. After reviewing
the development of the Idea and com
paring the project with others of
similar character In other parts of the
nation, Governor Dorsey said. In part;
Three Question*.
It seems to me that our decision In
this matter should be determined by
the manner In which we answer the
three following questions:
Is the canal aecesaaryf
Is the project feasible?
Can the canal be constructed quick
ly?
And In discussing the matter I shall
deal with these three questions la or-
der.
As a war measure the canal has
seemed to these Georgians with whom
1 have dlacuaeed the matter, to be ee-
Sentlal for the following reasons: It
would be the means of creating a new
bunker coal port of the South Atlantic
Seaboard, In warm water, where frees-
lng conditions are unknown; and
would also be the means of supplying
coal for our war needs and the needs
of our allies, from a Held which Is not
available, at a low cost of transporta
tion, in almost unlimited amounts,
through a protected roots, without
burdening existing methods of trans
portation, end at a point nearly Sve
hundred mil as closer to the Panama
canal than la faamp ton Roads.
• • •
Hampton Roads la practically the
moat southerly coal port It must be
recognised that the entrance to Nor-
folk, Newport News, Washington and
Baltimore Is between the Capes st
Hampton Roads. The coal from Vir
ginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
.Tennessee, generally described aa
Pocahontas and New River coal, which
Is the beat bunker coal. Is brought
down to the Chesapeake Bay over the
Chesapeake A Ohio, Norfolk A West
ern, Virginia and Baltimore A Ohio
railroads. The result of this concen
tration of coal delivery at Hampton
Roads has been an enormous conges
tion at that point, and has Imposed a
very heavy burden on these coal car-
tying roads. 8ome relief must be se
cured. Manufacturing interests in
to Mobile Bay (a distance of between
400 and 450 miles, at a cost as low aa
30 cents per ton. These barges could
be readily carried through the pro
posed Inland water way from Mobile
Bay to St. Marks (about 250 miles),
and thence brought through the pro
posed canal, a distance of 226 miles,
to Cumberland Sound. The total dis
tance would be about 900 miles by
barge transportation without trans
shipment. The coal would be deliver
ed at the most southerly coal port
possible on the Atlantic seaboard,
and at the Atlantic coal port closest
to the Panama canal.
The value of the canal In solving
the food problem Is almost equally as
great.
This canal, by reducing the price of
food products destined for the Atlan
tic seaboard or for Europe, would ne
cessarily aid In the conduct of the
war.
What Is true of food Is also true of
oil and other mineral and agricultural
products produced In the states served
by this canal.
When the canal Is once built Its
cost of maintenance will be very
small.. The water In a canal suffers
no deterioration from use, and the
barges moving on this canal would
handle a volume of freight far great
er than a double track railroad could
hope to handle, and at a far less cost
for transportation.
* • •
In my conception of the proposed
canal. It appears to me aa an exten
sion of the Mississippi river to the At-J
lantic seaboard. The protected In
land route through Lake Ponchartraln,
Lake Borgne and along the northern
coast of the Gulf of Mexico to St.
Marks river, and the canal from St.
Marks to Cumberland Sound, would
extend the Mlaalaaippl to the Atlantic.
Next to the Panama canal. It would
In my Judgment, be the greatest trans
portation development, from a nation
al standpoint, that has been consider
ed In recant year*.
As a war measure, there Is another
phaae of this proposed canal that
must appeal to us all. The recent ac
tivities of submarines along the At
lantic coast has brought home to ns
the dangers and horrors of this strug
gle. A submarine In a single day may

Washington, June 11.—There has

No agreemtnt has been reacned on

The offldal view here Is that this
