CONFIDENTIAL
SECURITY INFORMATION
1,000 miles the open-sea route to the British Isles. The Seaway
would provide an inland waterway relatively safe from enemy
action. It would enable the two countries to move war materials
at less cost in money and resources than by any other means.
14. Electric Power. The St. Lawrence power project,
measured by strict engineering and industrial standards, con-
stitutes one of the best potential sources of electric power
in North America today. The project can provide 1,400,000
kilowatts of additional firm power generating capacity, half
of which would be available to the United States.
15. Additional Shipbuilding and Repairing Facilities.
The Seaway would permit greatly increased shipbuilding and ship
repairs in the relatively well-protected Great Lakes shipyards.
16. Continental Defense. From a military point of view
the defense of the United States cannot be conducted inde- -
pendently of the defense of Canada. The two countries compose
a single defense unit.
