PORT IS DOOMED
WHEN EXPORTS RISE
Foreign Business in June $685.
923,e1e-Forty Millions
Over Last Year
WEBSTER FOR MORE LINES

Exports through the port Of PhiIadel
phia during the month Of June had a
total valuation of 500, ,023 ,010. Dur
ing juno of 1918 exports were valued
at S26, 7S8. $50. or $40,137 .O37 less.
THE figures in this one item are in
dicative Of the demand from foreign
countries and portend an increase in
volume and value as ship bottoms be-
come available for that trade and the
American merchant marine grows in
strength and importance, according to
Director Webster, of the Department
of Wharves. Docks and Ferries.
'With respect to the first though,
foreign necessities are shown in the fact
that the value of British imports for
seven months ended July 81 exceeded
that OF exports in the same period by
f4O3 600 ,00O," he said "The imports
had n value of $50 200, 900 and the
exports f487 900 900. And, showing the
readiness this country is displaying in
establishing n merchant fleet with which
to carry abroad our productions, the
shipping boards latest figures gave the
number of vessels under its control as
1882. with an aggregate tonnage of
S,5l3.372 deadweight tons, 4,342 ,24S
gross tons.
In spite of the insufficient number
of ships assigned to this port the totals
of vessels arriving and clearing in July
was 24l, tonnage SSS,574. This was
thirty more than in July, 1918.
AS the shipping board assigned more
bottoms to the port, increase in lines
followed and shipments became heavier,
but has not met the demand"
The director draws three important
conclusions from these facts,
THAT the Importance and availa-
bility of this port are strongly mani
fest in the growth of business that the
maintenance of our position as one, of
the worlds best harbors is matter of
continued energy, even greater than
heretofore shown, and that expansion
of harbor equipment is essential to keep,
not alone abreast, but we'll ahead Of
this enviable position"

Calls Britain Highwayman
Likening Great Britain's legal posi-
ton in Egypt to that of a highwayman,
Joseph w. Folk, counsel for the
Egyptian peace delegation. told the
Senate foreign relations committee to :
cay that the Versailles treaty proposed
to validate the robbery" Of Egyptian
independence.
Having occupied Egypt after con-
struction of the Suez canal under the
prctcxt Of protecting the Egyptians
from rebels. Mr.. Folk said, Great
Britain in 1914 "seized the Egyptian
government and now proposed under
the treaty to reduce her to subject ma :
ton" The treaty, he said, would make
Egypt's grievance against Great Brit :
ain an internal question, so that it could
not be dealt with by the league of
nations.
Ask Sell. Determination
"The people of Egypt" the witness
declared. want a league OF nations
which will protect their independence
and not destroy it. They ask you not
TO deny them that self determination
for which more than a million Egyp-
tians fought in the war just ended
The delegation sent to the Paris con =
ference by the Egyptian representative
assembly, Mr.. Polk said, was held Ill
.'yirtual imprisonment and was not
nermitted to even send representative
to tbe United States. He declared the
protectorate claimed by Great Britain
over Egypt was 'the same sort OF pro ,
tectorate that highwayman would
claim over your pocketbook.
Requests Right Of Appeal
Greot Britain repeatedly had pledged,
MIR. Folk said, that her occupation OF
Tpypt would be temporary, and he asked
that a clause be written into the treaty
giving Egypt the right to appeal to the
league council. Republican members
OF the committee suggested, however
that the league was to be controlled by
the same powers as made the treaty
and that Great Brltain's right in Egypt
already had been recognized formally
by the American State Department.
Referring to the outbreaks against
British rule in Egypt, Mr.. Folk said
Great Britain had suppressed the
news of what was taking place and did
not want the United States especially
to learn the facts if it could be helped.
