New York-Sorne Day

The New York and New jersey
Port and Harbor Commission never
knows when it has been rebuffed.
1t is composed of men who look to
the future, who do not think that.
because New York's primacy as an
American port came to it through
the bounty Of nature, we can retain
that primacy forever by merely sit
ting back and contemplating the
magnificent range and uneuualed
lavishness Of our water front. 1t is
also aware that, contrary to common
conviction, the city's insularity is
not an advantage, but rather a Sc
rious disadvantage, under modern
conditions of transportation and COM
merce. New York is a city with
lamentably inadequate terminal
facilities. And first class terminal
facilities are a necessity for a COM
mercial community which means to
81 ow.
New York cannot now feed or sup
ply itself economically because Of her
river barriers. Cost Of distribution
here is excessive. and every resident
and business man feels the burden
Failure 70 see that port or COM
mercial center must modernize itself.
however overwhelming it's natural
advantages once were, has been driv-
ing bus ness away from this city
and making living conditions here
harder. Foreign trade Is not actual
Iy declining, because so many steam
ship lines have long made this port
: their main base of operation. But
other ports can give cheaper and
better teeminal service and are eco
nomically in position to cut into
our trade.
a scientific scheme for the uniica-
ton of the port, under a treaty with
New Jersey, has been hanging fire
FOR many months. The Hylan ad-
ministration has opposed it, quite
| characteristically. But the Port and
Harbor Development Commission Is
not discouraged. 1t has Just put
forward supplementary scheme for
consolidation Of freight facilities
which will link up Manhattan ana
the Jersey side Of the Hudson and
eliminate the costly river short haul.
The plan is bold and comprehensi, 6.
1t would connect a Joint freight ter
minal In West Hoboken by tunnel
with various distributing points In
Manhattan. insure the easy entry
and cgress OF freight and save time
snd money in distribution. BY
eventually minimizing harbor light
erags 1t would free the piers for
ocean business and get rid Of tho
railroad tracks along our North
River front.
Maybe this project will also en-.
counter local Indifference. But 1t Ia

ized II New York is 10 supply nor

fleet to-day. We will be more or less
helpless without them.
There is but one SAFE and sane pol
icy. We must not be satisfied with
a navy that would have been strong
in 1916. We want a navy that will
be strong in 1892 and in the years
to come. Congress should imme-
diately appoint committee to inves-
tigate this subject thoroughly, and
the committee should call officers to
testify frankly and fearlessly. By
doing this we may save hundreds Of
millions in providing a modern
three-plane navy.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-27
Getting the Facts First

To settle the traction problems
more than a home rule debate is
necessary.
The Governor claims for the
state exclusive power to dictate
fares and the conditions of traction
operation and that in the applica-
ton of this power the state may
abrogate contracts.
But there are many who hold that
even though the state in legal the
ory has absolute power it Is unwise
and unfair to devolve it in whole or
In part on the city. Such are per-
suaded that it would be so mon
strously unjust for the state to ex-
tinguish self-government that an at
tempt to do so would inevitably
break down.
: But whichever way the debate
ended the result would not touch
the practicalities of the subway
problem. The real business could
not be attacked until after the state
had established its autocracy or4the
city it's independence or partial In
dependence. Thus overemphasis Of
the home rule issue, whether by
judicial Governor or by a dema-
gogic Mayor who would distract at
tention from the misdeeds of his
administration. may be deprecated.
The first needais for sound basis
of fact. What are the prospects of
future subway income? Has the
corner been turned? With lowered
prices for coal and other supplies
and more efficient labor, even
though the present wage scale Is
to endure until 1922, does the s.
cent fare plus the 2 cents per pas
senger that the city now contributes
out of taxes suffice to meet operat-
ing expenses and interest on the
sums actually invested? Until the
public is adequately informed it
\lacks basis fer solid judgment as to
what fare revisions, If any, are
necessary.
AS things now are there is a con-
tract under which the passenger
pays nickel and the city agrees to
contribute up 20 cents more per
passenger. This extra 2 cents is
now being paid, but the subway In
come is not quite enough to meet
operating expenses and the charges
on private funds put into the sub
ways. 1t follows that while further
diminution Of net income would
be at the expense Of private in
vestors an increase would not give
subway bondholders their full in
terest and begin to give the city
treasury something to offset the 2
cent subvention. But the few surely
know what may be expected.
Finally there is the big question
OF what concessions the real owners
Of the subway are willing to make
to rid themselves of the obliga-
tions of a contract which they re-
gard as onerous and which estab-
fishes species of lien against their
investments. No one speaking with
any authority has matured an un-
derstandable proposal. Thus there
is nothing actual to consider, and
the injection Of the hon rule oues-
ton in no wise Supplies ,he lack.
Before proceeding to action
which is now non-pertinent and
based on shadowy guesswork the
y Legislature should ascertain the
facts. Hence, the first duty Of any
new state-control agency should be
to inquire. What would then be
done would depend on the results
OK the inquiry This wo.ld seem to
90 better policy than 70 adopt a
n$id policy first and then to find

The Navy Building Program

The policy of building battleships
and cruisers for the navy is now
under consideration by Congress. A
wise decision Is Of vital interest to
the country.
There are eleven super-dread-
noughts under construction. Two
of these, the California and the
Maryland, are SO near completion
that they should be added to the
fleet. The Colorado, the Washing
ton and the West Virginia are we'll
advanced. These three, with the
Maryland, would form a strong d.
vision of 16-inch-gun ships. Their
completion may be justified.
The remaining six dreadnoughts
are less than 2e' per cent complete.
In view Of the menace to batt!eships
of present type from submarine and
air attack, the completion of these
six ships may be very unwise. 1t
would seem sound policy to stop
work on them for the present. It
may be necessary in view Of the
Indiana experiment to provide them
with an armored deck to protect
them from bombing attack. Or if
their construction is delayed for a
time, it may be advisable to COM
plete them as carriers of heavy
bombing and torpedo planes. We are
sadly in need of such types. An Of
ticer of distinction declares:
There can be no doubt that The
Irlbune's idea of three-plane feet
Is correct, and that what we need
now is to put emphasis upon the
upper and lower planes. We have
enough Of the surface plane at the
present time. would oven like to
see the building Of some Of our bat
tleships abandoned to make monev
available for these auxiliary pur-
poses.
In addition to eleven dread
noup' there are six big battle
crui building. When originally
desio the need Of these ships was
ger ~ recognized. but to-day
their utility is decidedly questioned
at home and abroad lnasmuch as
their construction is only just begun
they are not more than 10 per
cent complete-it is believed that
WORK upon these ships, as at pres
ent designed, should stop until the
paramount needs Of the fleet and the
governing influence Of new weapons
are carefully considered.
1t is important to note that the
hull and machinery of incompleted
battleships and pattle-cruisers NAV
be fully utilized and all waste pre-
vented If these ships are ultimately
transformed into modern airplane
and torpedo plane carriers to bring
our fleet to a proper standard of
efficiency in aviation. One of the
ablest officers in our navy says: "It
may be that within reasonable
time it will be realized that an air
plane carrier, able to steam at 35
knots and to carry ten torpedo
Planes and twenty hghting planes, Ia
a capital ship and Ia more powerful
as an offensive weapon than anv
other type Of capital ship can be-"
SO much FOR the big ship pro-
gram. There are ten scout-cruisers
building, many of them we'll ad-
vhnced They should he completed
regardless Of the battlcship policy
We need some fast surface ships in
the feet.

Limitation" Not Disarmament

1t is a matter of surprised COM
ment among those associated with
the preparations for the forthcoming
International conference that it
should be referred to so frequently
as a conference on disarmament.
Certainly no statement that has
been given out by any government
official with regard to the meeting
has used the word disarmament"
and the invitations extended to the
powers to participate contain no
such language. Its widespread
adoption by some editors can only
be attributable to miscdnception
of the purpose of the conference Or
to gross carelessness in the words
There is no hint of 1disarma-
ment' in any of the negotiations
that have led up to the conference,
but so prevalent has become the use
of the term that Secretary Hughes,

necessary to remind them that the
meeting was officially k pown as
conference on the subject OF
limitation of armament" and that
