Representative Charles Townsend of Michigan introduced a House resolution urging negotiations with Canada to deepen the Lawrence Welland canal route from the Great Lakes to the sea. He aims to use the pact for broader reciprocity talks and asks the president to commence discussions with Britain on the matter.
