OPPOSES u. S. MONEY.
IN MONTAUK PROJECT
w. II. Allen Says Foreign
Trade Should Come First.

Opposition to the Shipping Boards
plan OF spending Federal money for the
construction Of a great port at Montauk
Point was voiced yesterday by the In
stitute for Public Service, of which
William H. Allen is director. MIR. Allen
declared that the same amount of money
would accomplish vastly more for
American trade IL it were spent in i'm
proving existing harbor conditions in
New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
American foreign trade cannot afford
now to have the Shipping Boards en-
ergies DETECTED from the work 1t was
organized to do for all merchant ship
ping. to even the most spectacular pyro-
technics for passenger traffic." said Mr..
Allen. When the time comes to shorten
the water distance to Europe. Boston
or Halifax will be much shorter than
Montauk.
While no one can deny the right Of
private corporation to invest its mill
ions in building a port to draw business
from existing ports It is obviously unfair
for a Federal Shipping Board TO use
Federal power TO attack commerce and
to build up one railroad. This Montauk
proposition means taxing New York and
philadelphia to cripple themselves
The Cunard Line issued an announce
ment yesterday stating that It had no
intention of building terminals at Mon
tauk Point TO compete with the new
1,000-foot liners projected by the Ship
ping Board and designed to make their
western landing there. Denial is made
Of the report that Sir Ashley Sparks OF
the Cunard Line visited Montauk recently
to inspect possible sites for the piers.
