Seaway Plan Backed by Knox in Push to Speed Naval Passages
Secretary Knox urged approval of the St. Lawrence Seaway to ease passage for ships to the Great Lakes region. He testified before the House Rivers and Harbors Committee that a 47 mile 27 foot waterway between Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River would bolster national defense and enable movement of aircraft carriers and battleships. The plan, seen as a boon to defense, awaits legislative action after prior rejection in 1934.
