More than 200 associations aro handed together to promote the move ment. The president of the Deeper Water ways association Is Congressman J. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia, who delivered the address welcoming thG delegates and outlining the objects of the association. Ho predicted a suc cessful outcome of the association's work, declaring It to he one In which the entire American people are vltully Interested Scope of the Association's Work. In speaking of the association's work Mr. Moore said: "If the opening of a waterway from the north side of Cape Cod to Long iBland sound' means the saving of a single life employed In the shipping trade, why should we not strive for the completion of It? "When we know as u matter of rec ord that hundreds of human lives aro lost upon the shoals of Cape Cod and that millions of dollar's worth of val uable property is wrecked because there Is no Inside passage, why should we hesitate to put our engineers at work and make a short cut inland that will provide a safe harbor for ship ping and a haven for the men who aro engaged In that important occupation? "If the deepening of an inland chan nel between the Delaware river and the Chesapeake bay will give to Amer ican ships of war a safe inside passage and a harbor for repairs or for stores in times of peace or in times of war and will save an outside sailing dis tance of hundreds of miles, with all Its perils, why. should a great nation like this hesitate to provide such deep er rhannel? ' "If, again, and I regnrd this as of j greater concern to the common peo i pie, the deepening of such a water i way between any such ports along the i Atlantic coast or from any point of j production to any point of shipment ! will enable the farmers or the manu j facturers to do more business than they hltheito have done or will pro i vido facilities that will attract trade and encourage the development of American shipping, why should wo not provide such waterways and thus ' strengthen the hands of the breadwln nets of our country?"
