Shopping District Loop
Plan Meets With Favor
Many Advantages Seen in Idea
10 Link Centre of City by Means
of Extension to Subway I;nes


Plans for a subway loop to encircle
the heart of the city as proposed by
the Thirty-fourth Street Board Of
Trade nave aroused widespread inter
est. Civic associations in all sections
or the city are discussing the plan.
Inc leading associations in Manhattan
are considering the suggestion made
ny VIVIAN Green, president of the
that a central loop COMMITTEES be-
formed with representatives of several
organizations as members to further
the project.
Owners Of real estate whether Of
the great properties or the little stores
and residences in. the section between
Twenty-ihird Street and Fifty-ninth
street, are strongly in favor of the
loop plan. While designed primarily
to aHofd i transit relief for the central
part OF the city, which takes in the
great shopping, hotel and theater dis
trlc;ts, the loop could be expected to
add greatly to property values
throughout the entire section.
The plan calls for a loop through
Forty.-second Street, Fourth Avenue,
Ihirtieth Street and Seventh Avenue.
The local tracks in the Fourth and Sew
enth avenues subways would be used
Gnu oiic track III fOrty-SecOnd Street
he plan would not interfere with the
existing shuttle service in Forty-sec-
ond Street, but would supplement 1t
and relieve congestion. The only new
construction would be the connecting
link in Thirtieth Street. Thirty-frst
Street could be used as alternatives
The estimated cost is about 81. 500 900.
Among the advantages offered are
these: The shopping and hotel center
would be bound together by con
yenient short haul line; the New York
Central and Pennsylvania Terminal
would be joined by direct connections:
the four main line subways which run
through the district would be linked
together and the shuttle transfer con-
gestion relieved.

FEARS USELESS PEACE
IF CHINA is IGNORED
American Educator in Orient De-
clares Situation Duplicates
Prussianism.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1s.-Fear
that the work of the peace conference
would have to be done over again in
two decades unless China's protest
against the award of Shantung to ia
pan is settled now, was expressed by
DR.. Charles X. Edmunds, president of
the Christian College of Canton,
China, in an address today.
THE Chinese-Japanese situation is
a duplicate of the recent situation in
Europe, With militaristic Prussian
party in control and the populace in
favor Of democratic party. 1t must
be our concern to fasten to and aid
the right party in the future he said.
THE situation is the remnant of the
whole international attitude toward
China, not of Japan only. Japan only
takes her cue from other western
powers which showed her in the past
how they treated China. China looks
to the United States for help. We
should in the orient apply the same
principles of righteousness as We ap-
piled in Europe.
II have seen large forces of
Japanese troops in the capital of
Shantung province. When the Ger
mans were in possession they had
only a small section of kiaochow,
and these japanese forces I saw were
in the heart of Shantung, far away
from the former German possessions"
