RIVALS FOR THE FREE ZONE

THAT the efforts of the Raritan Terminal and Water
WAYS Association to have a free zone within the Port u
New York located on the south shore of the Rarltan bay VIII
mort is apparent as the developments for the port as a whole
are discussed. Newark is the latest contender for the Tree
zone and the Chamber of Commerce of that city is preparing
TO make a strong bid for it.
AS Elizabeth has already been agitating a free zone
on the meadows adjoining that city, it is likely that Elizabeth
will Join forces with Newark because the interests OF the
two cities are practically the same as far as Newark bay,
on which the free zone would be located, is concerned.
Another rival for the free zone will be Jamaica bay
where there is an influential group well organized and al
ways on the alert to push that section to the front.
Raritan bay has advantages over all these places for a
free zone such as the Port of New York needs. For accessl-
bility to the open sea, sufficient room for the vessels to OPP
will terminate, and with adequate territory surrounding to
permit of unlimited growth not only for manufacturing con-
Germs, but for cheap homes and low cost of living, not to
mention the aIl-important railroad facilities, there is no sec
ton of the Port of New York that can touch the south shore
of Raritan bay for the location of a free zone.
the people of this section to arouse themselves and put up a
fight for this development. Every municipality in the Rari-
Tan section is vitality concerned. 1t is something we'll worth
going after, but if we remain Indifferent we will never get
very far.
1t is imperative that for the next year particularly and
until the locations of the free zones in the Port of New York
are finally settled upon, the advantages of Raritan bay he
kept constantly before the authorities.

WALCOTT, Ia, Jan. 27.-Wa!cott
is looking up in a religious way. This
village, whose chief executive, Mayor
Strohbien, no less than three
ago boasted that it had new had a
church within the limits of the COM
munity in the last sixty-ive years
now has a Sunday school.
According to DIR. Leroy Coffman.
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Davenport, Ia, the Sun
day school was established as a re-
suit of the influence of a little girl
who had attended vacation Bible
school at his church. DR.. Coffman
states:
''The mayor was opposed to Its
existence but the written permission
of all other members of the school
board of this city of Walcott in re-
sponse to general sentiment in its
favor, obtained the school building
for the Sunday school and it is now
an established fact"
DIR. Frank A. Houser, pastor of
Calvary Baptist church of Davenport
recently made an inspection of this
village and reports that: Some
weeks ago a Sunday school was
started in Walcott, perhaps the first
in all the history of the town now
in its sixty-fifth year. There was

WHY THE UNITED STATES Is Interested

If a man owed you $40, 900 and was known to be in a
weak financial condition you would be greatly interested in
bis welfare, wouldn't you?
II the mans financial condition became such that a
meeting was called to consider the situation and endeavor to
reach some satisfactory adjustment of his affairs, you GER
iainly would be one of those present, wouldn't you?
You bet you would You would be at that meeting no
matter what else you might have on for that date. You
would be there early and you would stay late. You would
doubtless have a lot to say, too.
If you should decline to be present giving as you reason
that you did not care to become mixed up in the mans affairs
ii would be natural to suppose that there was something
worng with you, wouldn't it? The fact that the man
owes you $4,000 would indicate that you were already
mixed up in the mans affairs about as much as it was posi-
Bile to be and now that the man we. in financial straits your
interest in seeing him come successfully out of his Difficult
ties would be particularly great. You would doubtless play
an important part in endeavoring to get him on his feet again
SO that he would be able to pay back that 100000 which he
borrowed.
Europe owes the United States $40, 900, 600, 900. Eu-
rope is in great financial straits. 1t is verging on bankruptcy.
A conference has been called to meet in Genoa to consider
The entire economic situation of Europe. The problem to be
solved is how to straighten out European finances so that the
nations can get on their feet again and do business in a solid,
substantial way once more.
The fact that Europe owes the United States ten billion
dollars has warranted the nations of Europe in inviting the
United States to participate in the conference. 1t would be
very peculiar if the United States were not invited to parti-
pate, under the circumstances, and, as in the case of the in
diyidual with SIC, 1000 involved, one would suppose that the
United States would not only accept the invitation to be
present, but would be on hand early and stay late, having a
great deal to say in the proceedings.
So far as being afraid of becoming mixed up in Euro
tean affairs, the United States is already mixed up in Eu-
aopean affairs to the extent of ten billion dollars. That ought
10 be enough. If the United States ever expects to get that
money it certainly has got to help get Europe out of its pres
ent financial chaos. This country has everything to gain and
little to lose by participating in the Genoa conference. Why
President Harding should hesitate to accept the invitation to
send delegates to Genoa is d difficult to understand.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Those
who said that the women who went
overseas wuold come back
seems to have been right. overseas
women, back from huts and can
teens, have not been content to set
tie down to the old routine OF work
and play. The thrill of being in con-
tact with a world war is not easily
forgotten.
Because of the memories of that
thrill, small groups of the women
who had been across began to form,
and when they got together they
talked not so much about what We
| did" as what it would be interesting
to do now. Out of these scattered
| little clubs in various cities there has
| recently grown up a new national
| organization called the Women's
/ Overseas Service League, with units
in a number of cities and states.
The organization last week pre-
| scented a request to congress that the
| league be incorporated, n the bill
authorizing this has been passed
upon f%avorably by the judiciary
Committee.
The president of the local unit eX-
planned to us that overseas women
entered service in response to the
governments call, n by q nation
al charter they will receive national
recognition for their services. The
| overseas women, she pointed out, are
a unique body: Such a group of
| women, who held positions directly
| connected with war operations, new
| err existed before, and we hope there
never will be need forAsuch a group
| again. But we wish to remain IN
existence so that we may be ready
for service and to preserve the COM
radeship of the war days"
According to the bill before con-
| gress, only women who served over
seas for the allied cause at some
time between August ], 1914, and
| January /, 1920, are eligible. This
makes eligible overseas women of all
the various war. councils and asso-
Citations. 1t excludes, however. wo-
men who have gone to Europe to
do reconstruction work since jan
uary /, 1920.
The reason for the existence of
the new league is set forth in the
bill: That the purpose OF this cor
poration shall be to keep alive N
develop the spirit that prompted oV-
| erseas service, to maintain the ties
of comradeship BORN of that service
and to assist and further any pa
triotic work; to inculcate a n OF
individual obligation to the commu-
nifty, state and nation; to work Tor
the welfare of the army and navy;
to assist in any way in their power
men and women who served ana
were wounded or in~capacitated in
the World War; to foster and pro-
mote friendship and understanding
between America and the allies in
