URGES STATE BACK PORT
Penn Dean Says City Alone Cannot
Succeed in Object

philadelphia can never fully develop
it's port facilities as long as Philadel-
phia goes alone" said DR.. William Nc
Clellan, dean of the Wharton School at
the University of Pennsylvania, in a
speech before the Reading Chamber of
Commerce today.
The speaker said real development
could not come until the port became a
live State matter. and that this could
not be accomplished until the whole
region from Bristol to the Delaware line
became interested.
Doctor McClellans address was a plea
for system Of AmerCanizaton which
will bind all States closer together and
make them realize the responsibilities
which our system of government i'm
poses on each individual State.
