Two-State Crusade
10 Develop Port
Urged by City Club
Independent Action by New
Jersey May Threaten the
Prestige of Manhattan, Is
Warming of the Speaker

Pleading for the cooperation of New
York in unitication of the JERSEY and
New York sides of the Port of New
York, j. Spencer Smith, vce-c chairman
of the Joint Port Commission. spoke
last night before the City Club. Ii
New York should refuse to join with
New Jersey in this project, he told the
members, the latter state is prepared
TO go ahead unaided in the project.
even though that course should make
her direct rival to the Manhattan
side.
"The effect that such action would
have" safd he, "is something which
New Workers should ponder deeply.
Practically all the chief rail terminals,
upon which this city depends, arc on
the Jersey side. If we in JERSEY de-
velop our waterfront independently,
with our own systems of grain ele-
Vators and coaling facilities and so on,
pushed to their utmost possibilities, we
are gong to divert trade from YOUR
side of the river. Presently we are
going to have line of warehouses

a line of factories back of them. all
requiring high-geared service, and it
is going to become harder and harder
and more and more expensive for YOU
on this side to get the products you
must have to live.
The answer, the only sensible solu-
tlon-the thing which is, in the long
run, to be to the greatest advantage of
both New York and New Jersey-is har-
monlous cooperation in the develop
ment of the port as whole and in
joint administration of it,
Mr.. Smith was the chief speaker at
meeting which the City Club called
specially to arouse public interest in this
question, which soon is to come before
the respective state legislatures. He
was followed by Julius Henry Cohen.

Port Commission. Mr.. Cohen told of
the mechanism for joint administration
which already has been tentatively
drawn up by the commission

Effort to Keep Artificial

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Grain deal
efs appearing to-day before the House
Agriculture Committee proposed that
'he government pay the guarantee
price of 1926 a bushel for the 1919
wheat crop and sell it to the consumer
at the world market price, which thew
estimated would be about 1925. The
Witnesses generally believed this plan
would cost the government probably a
billion aud q quarter dollars, but said
TINS loss was preferable to any at
Tempt on the part Of the government
70 maintain an artificial price.
Representative Lever, Of South Car
olna, suggested three other plans ::
mat the wheat movement be entirely
on the pre-war basis; that the move
ment possibly be restricted by the
government being authorized to sell
or ouy so as to prevent manipulation.
and that the domestic movement be
entirely on the pre-war basis with the
export movement under Federal CON
troll.
The committee was holding hearings
on the bill prepared by A. W. Glasgow
counsel for the food administration
Agriculture. The dealers strongly op-
posed continuation of the food admin
'stratlon's grain corporation as pro-
vlded IN the bill, but urged its contin-
uatlon only for buying and selling the
crop.

the Chicago board was in favor OF re-

Mr.. Gates, who appeared at the open
ing session OF hearings to determine
what legislation should be enacted tc
make good the governments guaran-
teed price.
The government" Mr. Gates as.
serted. adopted an economic fallac,
at the start by breaking the law Of sup
