No More Bridges

s. 1t has long been the opinion of
transit engineers who have studied
the situation in New York that no
more bridges should span the East
River.
Engineering science had devised a
new and better way of connecting
the boroughs even before the Man.
haitian and the Queensborough
bridges were constructed. Tunnels
are cheaper to construct than
bridges, they present no terminal
problems, as bridges must always do,
and they do not involve vast expendi-
lures for condemning land and de-
molishing buildings for their ap-
proaches.
1t is true that the question of ven-
tilation for vehicular tunnels in
these days of gasoline power has
given rise to difficulties, but these,
engineers declare, have been fully
provided for. At all events, work is
going rapidly forward on the Man
hattanNew Jersey vehicular tunnel,
a tube far longer, and consequently
far more troublesome to ventilate,
than any which may be built under
the East River.
Nevertheless the city administra-
tion is considering the construction
of new bridge from Twenty-third
Street to Greenpoint, and is proceed
ing with plans for it exactly as if it
had obtained in advance the consent
of the Legislature, the national gov
ernment and the people of the city,
without which no new bridge can be
built. The promoter of this plan is
Grover Whalen, a former private
secretary to the Mayor and now his
Commissioner Of Plant and Struc-
lures.
Mr.. Whalen asserts--although
without convincing support from en-
gineers-that the Brooklyn Bridge
is now unsafe for heavy traffic and
that it will soon outlive its useful
ness altogether. This assertion is
fatty disputed by Washington A.
Roebling. builder of the bridge, who
says the bridge is good for 200
years, and by spther engineers who
know what they are talking about.
To these gentlemen Mr.. Whalen
pays no attention. He asks not onlv
that new bridge be constructed but
that the Brooklyn Bridge be COM
pletely rebuilt. He contends that
tunnels are out of the question, al
though there are already three tun-
nels under the East River, two tubes
under the North River and another
under construction there.
If tunnels were available only for
electrically operated transit lines
they would still be able to relieve the
East River bridges of their heaviest
load, leaving three, or with the
Brooklyn Bridge four, capable of
carrying all automobiles and horse
drawn vehicles.
Of this Mr.. Whalen refuses 70 he
convinced; and the Tammany organ
New-York tribune., 1922-08-05

ization, which elected Mr.. Whalen's
chief and takes contracts, will back
him in his attitude.
Planning new bridge would be
unwise at any time. Planning new
bridge with Tammany in power
might we'll result in very serious
and unnecessary drain on the public
pocxetbook. No wonder Comptroller
Craig is in insurrection.

Reparation CIoture

Is LHSIC 11VL "1y w oFFNy
cloture, or to move the previous
question, or some other parliamen-
tary device for bringing the ever
lasting discussion of the reparation
question to an end?
For three years a circling debate
has gone on. Though there is much
movement of lips and pens there is
little progress toward settlement.
1t is no clearer now than in 1919
that France may properly ask, up to
Germany's ability to pay, compensa-
ton for the actual damage done to
her. At the peace conferences the
Baruch estimate, supported by our
delegation when Lloyd George loudly
said Germany should and could pay
more, was that Germany had ability
to pay $4,000, 100000. This esti-
mate did not differ much from the
original Keynes estimate.
When the Reparation Commission,
after prolonged examination, sub
mitted its figures they confirmed the
Baruch estimate. The commission
found that Germany, with gross
property worth $140,000,000,000,
could pay 10 per cent. France in
1871, although then greatly dam
aged by German invaders, found it
easy to discharge a per cent in
demnity. 1t did not seem unreason-
able to conclude that Germany,
physically undamaged, could, by
sacrifice commensurate with her
crime, pay double the rate paid by
France.
So the reparation total was fixed
at approximately $4,000, 700, ,000-
that is to say, this is the present or
conmuted value Of the deferred pay
ments arranged for. Propagan-
dists and special pleaders habitually
speak Of the reparation as more than
double this, but this can be said only
by ignoring the condition that pay
ments are spread over forty years.
Considerations other than those of
the value of the property Germany
could tax seemed to justify the total
which was fixed. Interest on S14,-
000,000,000 at per cent comes to
$700,000,000 a year. This is about
$l2 per inhabitant of Germany. In
asmuch as the per capita taxes Of
Great Britain are $50 and of France
$40 and Of this country $50, while
German taxpayers have been paying
only $40, it seemed fair to ask Ger
mans to equalize burdens.
Instead of levying taxes, the Ger
man government has printed paper
money and shouted it could not pay.
Yet the sum so far paid is relatively
small. The total cash or gold credit
payments thus far made by Ger
many are but $400,000,000. Of this
large part has come from foreign
spectators who have been induced
, to buy paper marks. In ships
2 largely going to Great Britain1, in
coal and in other definite property
Germany has paid more, but in cash
or its equivalent very little-only
about 81 per head a year.
All these facts have long been
known to all who cared to learn
them. AS to the essential case,
neither Lloyd George nor Poincare
can find much new to say. Nor does
either need instruction as to the
natural effect in Germany of con-
slant repetition of the statement
that Germany can't pay, coupled
with acquiescence in the policy of
currency initiation, which is the chief
cause Of Germany's troubles a
cause she can remove whenever she
wishes to do so. So the reparation
debate may we'll be brought to a
close and not reopened until some
one has something really new to saw

Railroad Strike Reactions

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The plain, simple issue in this
railroad strike is: Are the unions
strong enough to fslominate the coun-
try? The farmer, business man, mer-
chant and banker have Dictated" The
unions have not. Are we
helpless against this extortion? That
is the issue. If a fight means suffering
and loss-still let's fight

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: With regret and surprise I
read your article to-day on the railroad
strike. / have taken The Tribune daily
for years and have noted its generally
right and fearless attitude on public
questions.
This strike was beaten until the
President made his unfortunate pro-
posals. Wilson's surrender in 1916
was no worse.
Better a fuel famine, stoppage of
transportation-an anything than coward
ly subservience to gang of labor
union leaders. None Of these things
will happen If our government will
play fair and not tolerate disorder and
violence. Our politicians seem cowed
by the labor leaders and think their
noisy threats represent the opinion of
the country. r. s. GOODMAN.

Songs of Solomon were written soon
after the visit Of the Queen Of She
ba TO Solomons Kingdom. Dazzled
by her beauty and the magnificence
of her retinue, Solomon descended
from his throne to greet the Queen
who had journeyed over the desert
to gaze upon his glory and hear his
wisdom. And, not for the first time
