Of the total traffic? It is be- cause inland navigation has been im- proved and kept up ta date in these countries, whereas in our own case our waterways have stagnated in most, and retrograded in many, instances. " Australia has great natural canals inter- secting a large portion of the continent, and the claim is that nothing should be done to destroy their usefulness, but that there should be some expenditure in order to extend their services. The proposal is a sound business proposi- tion. ...South Australia has no wish to render iiseless by the force of law any works already in operation, or to, pre- vent the completion of schemes calcula- ted to benefit up-stream settlers. All that is asked is that concurrency with 36 the carrying out of sucli undei-takings there shall be adopted on a national ba- sis compensation works in the shape of locks and storage basins. Mr. G. H. McKinuey, M. I. C. E. , when head of the water conservation branch of the Public Works Department of New South Wales, admitted that "recent experience of other countries shows that the latter object (navigation) grows in importance with increase of population; and that inland navigation, though it may be in a large measure temporarily superseded by the construction of railways, ulti- mately more than regains its position as a trade-cai-rying agency.
