A BIG WORLD PROBLEM

Population of the world has trebled
in the last 100 years and an Ameri-
can statesman insists that the shift
ing masses of people is largely dc
tated by the necessities Of susten-
ance and there is danger that some
one may go hungry because too
many persons are deserving the farms
to make cutlery, textiles and shoes.
This reminds the Record that the
population per square mile of the
United States is. 344: France 1857:
Belgium 67335 :. Japan 1882; Meth
erlands 1876; Italy 33026; China
1854; British India 174SS This then
is the logic of the situation: If the
world is to have peace it must have
food and sources of food supply.
This is the big world problem and il
is also the biggest problem in the
United States.-Fort Worth Record.

FOR THE SHIP CANAL

1t is with no little satisfaction that we find the city Of
Trenton and the Chamber of Commerce of that place taking
an active part in the agitation for the construction of the New
Jersey ship canal. Mayor Donnelly of Trenton an ardent wa
terway advocate, is planning to institute a vigorous campaign
for the inclusion in the next federal river and harbor bill OF an
item authorizing the construction of the proposed ship canal
across the state from Morgan to Bordentown. He announces
that he has received assurances from Congressman John IL.
Small chairman of the Rivers and Harbor Committee of the
House of Representatives, that the time is propitious for the
adoption of the project by congress. To back Mayor Donnenys
merce is compiling an elaborate report showing the advant-
ages that will accrue through the construction of the canal.
The above facts we have CLEANED from an article in the
Trenton Times of July A. 1t is all very fine and means fur
Their assurances of the success of the project.
But Perth Amboy and the waterway workers of this vicin-
ity have the jump on Trenton and her enterprising mayor and
Chamber Of Commerce in that here we have already organized
and incorporated an organization which has as its sole object
the booming of this proposed waterway. Tomorrow night a
mass meeting is to be held to consider the matter further and
plans are being made for a state convention in the fall when
the activities of the organization are to be broadened.
In the meantime the rest of the state is to be invited to
form branches of the parent organization so that there will
be a harmony of action and cooperation that is so essential
for success in any movement of this kind. If Mayor Donnely
and the other waterway enthusiasts in Trenton have over
looked the organization of the New Jersey Inter-Costal Ship
Canal Association, Inc, attention is now called to it and the
capital city folks are most earnestly urged to get behind the
movement already so auspiciously started in order to further
Its success.
