MAKING USE OF AN OPPORTUNITY.

While the Washington street problem has called public
attention to the street ends along the waterfront it is pertin-
emit to give a little consideration to the foot of Fayette street
where the city, if it will profit by past experiences, still has
an opportunity to do something really worth while?
The fact that the foot of Washington street has been
practically lost to the city is due to the short-sightednes of
former city officials. Ten or twelve years ago the Evening
News urged the city to secure the riparian rights at the foot
Of every street. Upon taking the matter up with the old
Stale Riparian Commission it was found that these rights
could be bought by the municipality for $40 per foot. Some
OF the aldermen at that time seemed to think that the city
ought to get these rights for nothing. Not being willing to
pay out the few thousand dollars that the riparian rights
would have cost at that time, the opportunity was lost. To-
day the riparian rights cannot be bought at any price as the
state refuses to sell any more, having adopted a policy of
leasing the rights only.
The foot of Buckingham avenue is now controlled
largely by the Public Service Corporation. This was found
out when it was suggested that a ferry be located there.
Other streets are shut off from the waterfront until Wash
ington street is reached. 1t seems a pity that this
street should be lost to the public because there are so few
streets along Staten Island sound that extend all the way to
the water. Yet if anyone can suggest any possible use for
the end Of this street from a public point of view it would be
interesting TO hear the suggestion.
Commerce street also goes to the waterfront, but there
the same condition exists that exists at Washington street.
Industries crowd it in on both sides.
Next we come to Fayette street. Here is the city's
last opportunity really to do something. The waterfront
property on the south side of Fayette Street is moccupied at
The present time and, If we are not mistaken, is for sale.
Immediately adjoining this vacant property is the city dock
properly.
Fayette street, with its easy grade is recognized as an
ideal thoroughfare for trucking and heavy traffic. To per-
init the vacant property at the foot of that street to be de-
yeloped by private corporations would mean that Fayeile
street would soon become as useless as Buckingham avenue,
Washington and Commerce streets are as far as waterfront
development by the municipality is concerned. AT the same
time, a wonderful opportunity to make full use of the prop
erty already owned by the city would be lost.
Here, then, is the real problem for the city as far as
the street ends and waterfront are concerned. The same
Thing, in a sense, applies TO The gas works property at the
,oot Of High street. The city's future is at stake in these
Aatiers. BY neglecing them now we see these properties
oaddahtinto other hands or otherwise developed and then when
,eempodn. suddenly wakes up, as seems TO be the case in re-
* j" Washington street, the situation is hopeless

AMERICAS GREAT FOREIGN
BUSINESS is DESCRIBED
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, March 12.-For-.
eign trade follows the lending OF
money to foreign governments n
cities. 1t always has and it always
will. This condition is as inexor-
able as the succession of the sea-
sons. And yet it is but recently that
American bankers and business men
have been convinced of this fact, ac-
cording to Franklin Adams, counse-
ler of the Pan-American Union.
"A few years ago, If 'another gov
eminent approached u bankers
and asked for funds, those govern
ments either were turned down alb
solutely or so much delay was en-
countered that the applicants grew
tired and went elsewhere" says Mr..
Adams. "The condition, which ex-
listed long before the entrance OF
this country into the World war.
was the result of the ignorance OF
our merchants and bankers OF n
fundamentals of foreign trade. But
with the opening of the wal and the
greatly increased demand for our
goods in Europe and in Latin Am
erica as we'll as the Far East, our
national mercantile vision widened
p%erceptibly. 1t is still widening"
In the old days, if the government
of one of the countries to the south
of the United States wanted u loan
to build a railway, that government
would send special representatives to
the United States. These emissarles
would spend weeks and weeks in
American financial centers before
they got a hearing, and probably le
would be weeks after that before
there was a decision.
Today the financial houses of the
United States have representatives
practically all ver the world and
these men are looking for places to
lend American money. The Latin
American city that wants to build a
street railway, for instance, after
some American financial agent ar
ranges for loaning the necessary
construction funds and money for
rolling stock, has pointed out to 1t
that the United States has civil en-
gineers, steel rail mills. and means
Of providing all other equipment
needed. 1t is natural that the gov
eminent making the loan should
want to repay as much as possible
the people of the country advancing
the funds. Thus contracts for equip
ment which cannot be furnished by
the borrowing country itself follow
the American loan to American
firms. The result is a considerable
foreign trade arising from this sim
gle project.
This expansion of the American
viewpoint is being met by the edu-
cation of young men to fit them for
the posts of business and financial
delegates, notably to the Latin Am
eriean nations.
