The Port Plan Wins

The New York and New Jersey
legislatures have passed acts ap-
proving the Port Authority's COM
prehensivc plan. The scheme for
the development Of the poyt under
Tic bi-statc treaty is now fully
launched. The enterprise is to be
port arca-widc. Rs 1t should be- The
port is a unit economically. has been
declared unit by the Interstate
Commerce Commission for ratc-mak-
ING purposes and must remain a
unit if it is to be utilized to the
hest advantage of the communities
which constitute it.
From low on opposition to united
development made by the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment will be
merely obstructive The limited city
plan Of Improvements has been re-
jccted by the trunk line carriers with
terminals on the New Jersey side Of
the Hudson. the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad excepted. Without the CO.
operation of these carriers the city's
scheme is hopeless.
Mayor Hylan and Comptroller
Craig may come to recognize this
fact. They have fought for what
they considered the special, isolated
interests of this city. But the citys
true interest lies in cooperation with
all the ether units in the port dis
trict. Al arc in the same boat. The
Of unified development
cannot be taken away from any part
Of the area. The primary aim of
The Improvement is TO reduce the
cost Of living and of doing busi-
ness here. The benefit brought
must be universal. The people who
live here want relief The only sure
method Of relief is that offered by
the bi-state treaty and its agency,
the Port Authority.

The immigration Curb

The House Of Representative has
voted to extend for year the life
of the Observation-Disclosures emer-
Gency immigration act The act ex-
pires by limitation on June so next,
and the House Committee on Immi-
grafton thought it more advan-
tageous to try the present scheme
Of restriction further than to amend
it in the light Of only seven months
experience.
The quota system gave some
trouble at first. The steamship lines
and the immigration service abroad
were not sufficiently prepared to
apply the quota yardstick. More
immigrants Of certain nationalities
arrived than were eligible to enter.
Chairman Johnson told the House
that since June last 1,773 extra
quota arrivals have been admitted
by administrative order because of
the inhumanity involved in sendinp
them back.
Such waiver of legal restric-
tions will probably not be necessary
again. The immigrant traffic has
been pretty we'll adjusted to the new
rules. This is shown by the fact
that immigrants from countries
whose l921-'22 allotments are filled
are shipping for Canada, Cuba and
Mexico, preparing to enter the
United States after July next. Of
the total of 356,26S admissible this
fiscal year 191.154 have already
come IN. The allotments to Poland
Italy, Hungary, Armenia, Palestine.
Syria and Turkey have been ex-
hausted. There is still a consider
able percentage due from France.
Germany, Switzerland, the United
Kingdom and the Scandinavian
countries.
The limit Of 356,268 viii evident
" not be reached. Economic condj-
tons here make sharp restriction
highly desirable at present. That
IS the almost unanimous view in
Congress, for only thirty-six men,
Ocrs voted against the extension
bill If the time should come again
soon when immigration is needed for
economic reasons the present law
can DC reshapcd. Undoubtedly the
percentage theory has come to stay.
The advocates of sclectiye immigra-
ton have made out their case. They
VIII try, however, to give the sclec-
tive principle somewhat larger

our neighbor "The Herald" re-
wives the myth that this animal is

AS matter Of fact, few animals
classed as big game require less

cougar, is tinid beast, little given
to fighting even when wounded.
Considering its size and STRENGTH
a big cougar viii measure over six
feet from tip to tip, and weigh

Drugs and Prohibition
The lnterrelated Problems of AIco-
hol and Narcotics
To the Editor Of Tho Trih,,r

o the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The national chairman for o
body representing 100000 members
interested in laws affecting drugs"
asks in The Tribune upon what Miss
Elisabeth Marbury bases the assertion
that prohibition has increased drug ad-
diciion. The body on whose behalf the
question is asked is the Congress Of
Mothers and Parent-T Teachers Associa-
tions"
AS far as am aware the only laws al
fecting drugs which should interest
body of this kind are those which lone
ago abolished the domestic use Of
soothing syrup" form Of infant
doping once popular in this country
AS matter of fact, Miss Marburv
might easily have reached the CON
cluslon that prohibition and drug ad-
dlctlon so hand in hand from the
statistics given out regularly by drug
law promoters and familiar to all news
paper readers. These figures give the
per capita consumption OF narcotic
drugs in this country as anywhere
from seven to seventy fold more than
o'her countries, in none of which
countries are there either prohibition
laws or drug laws.
Independent of any question Of the
substitution of dope for drink (Which
IN many cases is not an unnatural sup
posltlon(, the fact remains that drug
laws IN the Southern states followed
the establishment of prohibition in
that region. The failure of these states
to control the sale of drugs to negroes
led to the national drug law, formu-
lated by Louisiana CONGRESSMAN and
known as the Harrison law. In this
respect prohibition and the drug laws
are heritage of the condition of
African slavery, upon which the pros
perlty of the South once depended. as
1t still depends upon negro labor to-
day.
notwithstanding the fact that the ma
tlonal government now dictates to the
physicians of this country under these
laws how they shall prescribe alcohol
and narcotics, both national prohibi-
tion and national drug laws have
tailed of their purpose. The next step
which IS now seriously advised is that
the United States government shall go
into the business of manufacturing
narcotics and of dispensing alcohol for
medicinal purposes as a regular part
of its duty to the people of the country.

Defense of the Greeks

20 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; | ask your indulgence to take
ISSUE with certain of Mr.. Vanderlip's
statements on conditions in the Near
East. After branding the Greek com
mercial world in the Near East as prac-
tlcally unworthy Of trust, Mr.. Wander
lip says; And now We know. after a
bref experience IN Asia Minor. that
the Greek has little political admins
trative ability" The fact that the
GREEKS are in the Near East practicall,
the exclusive commercial agents of the
greatest industrial houses of Europe
does not tend to corroborate Mr.. Van
derlip's statement about Greek com
mercial honor
AS to the administrative ability of
the Greeks, I refer your readers to
the following authoritative witnesses:
l. The correspondent Of "The Lon
don Times" in Constantinople. who. in
The Times" of January 25, describes
the benevolent and humane administra
tion Of Greece and gives the figures
of the dcportations, acts of violence
robberies and massacrcs perpetrated hv
the Turks since 1912.
2.sThe petitions of the Turkish nonu-
latlons, not only Of Smyrna, but also
of districts under Kemalist occunation
eXtolling Greek administration and i'm
ploring the Greeks not to leave Asia
Minor
AS to the statement that thousands
of refugees are crowdng Constanti
rople and Belgrade, implying thereby
that Turks and Serbians, driven out bv
greeks, have sought refuge in those
TWO capitals, the truth is that Grecce
not only did not take any Serbian terri
tory but she even gave to Serbia the
fertile Greek plain of Monastir. And
nobody who knows conditions in the
Balkans has ever heard that there arc
refugees of any race in Belgrade or
any Turkish refugees in Constantinople
victims of Greek NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
There arc only Greek and Armenian
refugees, victims of Turkish brutality.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
The Way to Fame

When Gaggitt, the vodyveel actor,
Was standing en- up in the
tanks.
By walking about with his coat
inside out
And other such ludicrous
pranks,
The critics considered him vulgar
And looked al him only to
frown;
We wonder said they, why
the public will pay
To watch such a duI-witted
clown"
Then Gaggitt went into the
And thousands OF houses he
packed
BY making his stuff quite a little
more rough
Than II was in his vodyveel act.
With placards the country was
plastered
Which featured his face and
his name,
And shortly he found that the
whole earth around
Was singing his praises and
fame.
And 10, the once cynical critics
Wrote reams upon reams TO
impart
To their readers the fact that
this Gaggitt could act
With clever and consunlmate
art.
They spoke of the way that his
genius
Made noble the lowliest role,
And scribbled at length Of the
sadness and strength
Composing his wonderful soul.
This incident teaches, dear chill
dren,
That if you are aiming at
fame
And hoping TO shine n the Thes-
plan line,
Which same IS difficult game,
Don't seek to achieve the great
prizes
BY step after arGuous step;
The way 30 succeed-snd the
way that you need
Is first to go after rep
