St Lawrence waterway idea cited in Pope Pius XII radio
Stewart notes St Lawrence waterway and hydro plans gain support from Vatican talk interpreted from Pope Pius XII.

The war shifted focus to internal U.S. development and tying Canada to America through the waterway, with the pope’s remarks framed as favorable to emigration and settlement.
