00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:03.960
you

2
00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:32.520
you

3
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.960
you

4
00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:02.560
than a magnificent feat of engineering.

5
00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:07.000
It is more than a modern technological contribution

6
00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:12.180
towards improved navigation and more abundant power.

7
00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:16.700
It is a new bond between the peoples of all the continents.

8
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.500
So we are glad to be with you today

9
00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:26.620
when you are celebrating the official opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

10
00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:31.900
The Seaway, which brings ocean-going vessels to the Port-au-Chicago

11
00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:36.260
and the Port-au-Chicago close to the harbors of the world.

12
00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:43.700
Your great city is known abroad for its commerce and its manufacture.

13
00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:50.840
It is respected for its schools and universities, its museums and its picture galleries.

14
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.860
This state of Illinois has been seen of much national history

15
00:01:56.860 --> 00:01:59.300
from the home of great leaders and men.

16
00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:03.940
And now the future holds even greater promise.

17
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.120
With direct access to the oceans of the world,

18
00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:12.760
you have a sea around you and your horizons are unlimited.

19
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:18.080
Here you are the close and good neighbor of Canada.

20
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:22.420
And it is as Queen of Canada that I come here today.

21
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.020
But I am also head of the Commonwealth.

22
00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:30.680
And in the years ahead, I hope and believe

23
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.320
that more and more the people of this city and this state

24
00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:40.420
and of its neighboring states will visit the countries of the Commonwealth.

25
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.960
And that an increasing number of travelers from the Commonwealth

26
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.960
and from every country under the sun will come to see you

27
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:55.220
and to experience as we do today the world of the Chicago welcome.
