It examines the economic composition of the Great Lakes area in relation to foreign trade; Great Lakes ports share of U.S. foreign trade, 1958 to 1964; foreign trade generated in the Great Lakes area for 1956, 1960, and 1963; relation of Europe to general cargo traffic; the U.S. share of world markets, 1951 to 1963; projections to 2020; tributary areas were delineated. Unit benefits from deepening harbors were documented. (Author).
