A PEACE TIME PROBLEM

Peace problems are no less pressing
than those of war. Every communi-
ty has them. They are not less I'M
portant or urgent than war tasks be-
cause they are problems of peace.
San Juan has her peculiar problems
just as New York or New Orleans or
Oshkosh.
One of them is transportation.
Proper preparedness would have
prevented the necessity of facing this
problem just as preparedness would
have made Allied Victory come sooner.
Little attention has been paid to
the city's transportation needs since
1912. Then the Legislature and the
City jointly studied the City's trans
portation problem and decided that
double-tracking was necessary.
The solution then considered i'm
perative has not yet been brought
about because of terms which made
double tracking impossible.
Since that time San Juan has gain

"Super-Cargo" is an old term
used to designate the business ma
nager of ship, and the United
States Shipping Board has revi-
we'd this office in order to train
young Americans to secure and
handle cargoes on our ships. They
go to sea and their duties are to
give their personal attention So
lely to the freight on the vessel.
When a port is reached their eff
forts are directed toward getting
outbound cargo in consignee's

NEW YOR. - Publication

Mr.. Gompers.
President Gompers was presid-
