anyone tell you it is merely an issue be.
tween Santa Monica and San Pc lro. 1
ia an issns bstSesn harbor or ~ har-
bor at all. A safe and surs harbor C N
not be built at Santa Monica. That's
the truth OF il. Don't taks The HER
AIDS word for 1t or any individuals
word for it. but go down and look over
the lay Of the land Yourself. There is
no protection there from a southeast
storm-snd those are the kind OF storms
which affl ct this part OF the coast with
The greatest severity. A breakwate r
might be built-at an enormous ex.

Issue. and the whole case stated conoisely
and at some length.
SAN PEDRO OR NO HARBoR.
You see. Huntington . game is to keep
all the ocean traffic at San Francisco.
where there ia no railroad competition.
Surely, that's plain enough. isn't it?
That's not sensationalism nor abuse
that's the solemn truth stated in plain
English-and If you were Huntington,
and AS selfish. with all your millions, ~
he has. you would probably hate to see
Southern California gain a harbor, and
you would go to congress and use your
vast wealth and unholy influence to keep
