Mr. George W. Wickersham, 40 Wall

Dear Sir:--In your letter Of Feb
ruary 18th, addressed to me, as Sec
rotary of the American Union Against

dunn on war and peace on the ground
that it contains an opening note, 80
misleading, so essentially false, that
the answers TO the subsequent ques-
lions AFFORD no opportunity for the
expression OF an informed public opia-

tween Germany and ourselves"
The opening note to which you re-
fer. says,
I'm modifying her war zone note,
Germany has offered safe passage for
all American passenger ships which
keep to a prescribed course and which
our government guarantees free from

You deny that this offer was made
by Germany. You say that Germanys
offer was merely ito permit one snip

tied zone" Apparently when the sit

Wickersham, after February list, you
stopped reading the New York daily
papers. Let me quote from the iirst

Prior TO the first public hearing on the

ernoon, ex-Dlrector of Transit A. Merritt
Taylor today issued waning to the peo-
pie that ratification of the lease would be
ruinous to Philadelphia. He points out
what he charges are four additional de-
fects brought out in his latest analysis.
Further careful analysis of the Smith
lease reads Mr. Taylor's statement, leads
me to deliberately make these additional
charges with relation thereto:
That Hereunder, the full interest
i charge on all OF the city's bonds
issued for transit development remains
continuing charge against the unified
system after those bonds have been paid
or in full, as provided in Article xxi,
Item No. o. and that the full amount
thereof must continue to be paid out OF
carfares annually to a sinking fund COM
mission. to be used as provided for in
Article NNN. paragraph 2, for the pur-
ohase OF the property. leaseholds and fran
chises OF the p. Il. r. Company.
- That hereunder, the supposed
6s equal division between the city and
the company of any net profits or residue
OF gross earnings, specified in Item No.
IL, in fact prevents the city from collect
ing any profit whatever from the opera
tion of its hgh-speed lines until after
the city has acquired the property and
leaseholds OF the Z. X. Il. Company; for
what Is supposed to be the citys one
half of such profits does not go directly
to the city. but goes to the sinking fund
commission hereinbefore referred to, for
the sole purpose of purchasing the prop
erty of the p. X. n. Company. This fact
is clearly stated in Item No. II.
