TIE MOST PROGRESSIVE THING TO DO

Some folk up in Woodbridge got all "het up Monday
afternoon when someone started a wild rumor that a Dill
had been introduced in the legislature to annex Sewaren to
Perth Amboy. The report turned out to be false, but it only
goes to show how thoughts are running in our suburb.
AS a matter of fact, such a report might well prove
true. Sewaren would have everything to gain and little to
lose by becoming a part of the greater city. Big things are
doing here in the next few years and no mistake would be
made in getting on the inside so as to derive some OF the
benefits.
Woodbridge township and Perth Amboy are already
linked together by bonds that are inseparable. The growth
and development of Perth Amboy will naturally have its
overflow into the township that surrounds the city, but the
advantages to the township would be more than a mere over
flow if it became a part Of the city and had an actual part
in the development.
Nothing succeeds like success. Perth Amboy is successful
Ind that very success is going to bring still greater things
Il is far better to sit up at the table and enjoy a portion OF
the full meal than to hang around the outside and get only
Kucb crumbs as may fall from the festive board.
Perth Amboy and Woodbridge would make wonderful
nrogress> together. Within a few years all that vast farm
land in the township that is valued now at only SO much an
acre would become a beautiful residential sectloh "ih
broad avenues, quick transportation and all the cohVehlehces
Of a metropolis. A, the same time what is now Perth Amboy
would develop commercially and industrially. Business
men and heads of our large manufacturing plants could then
live satisfactorily under the same municipal government
their business interests are under and exercise all hiluen0o
that would be beneficial all around.
If a bill has not been introduced in the legislature pro-
siding for the annexation of Woodbridge, or a part OF the
township, to Perth Amboy such a bill might well be intro
luced if such action is necessary to bring about the union
il it originates in Sewaren, even though it provides for only
The annexation of Sewaren, it shows good Judgment on the
part of the people there. With Fords and Keasbey joining
N the movement, it would not be long before Woodbridge
proper saw the light and came in also.
1t is the big thing to do. 1t is folly to stand in the way
Of progress.

ADVANCING The PORT DEVELOPMENT

THE governors of both New York and New Jersey have
recommended to thelegislatures of the two states the adop-
lion of the report Of the Port of New York Authority. Except
FOR the Hylan administration in New York, the plan is ap-
proved by all important municipalities included "l'hin 'he|
port district. The opposition of Hylan is understood ram
many feels that its great graft In the leasing u '"e piers
along the city's waterfront may be lost.
New JERSEYS attitude in regard to the development IS
highly commendable. 1t is apparent That II new aork shoulo
decide to go it alone in the matter OF building up the COM
MERGE of the port, New Jersey, with her great railroad terml-
nails. could easily construct modern piers and warehouses
hat would connect up with the railroads, making the devel-
ppment on Staten Island upon which New York has spent
b25. 600, 900, look like twenty-five cents.
Perth Amboy is deeply interested in this great project.
If means much for this city. The proposed water front de-
velopment plays a prominent part in the plan OF the port
5evelopment as presented to the two legislatures and 1T re-
mains for this ciy to make the most of it.
]. Spencer Smith, vice chairman of the port authority
mi president of the New Jersey Board of Commerce and
Navigation, in a statement made at Trenton Monday, said:
sn the plan of the port authority there is no provision
for local rivalries or iealousies. Each community within the
1istrict in entitled to enjoy every advantage that unified
~ fer and rail service can give it. Each municipality is left
roe TO develop along whatever lines it chooses. Cooperation
team work on the part of the 1O5 municipalities within
fe district will make for the greater happiness and prosper
H of the citizens of EACH"
With each community free to develop along whatever
sos it chooses and with the port plan combining the advan-
8@ees of all into one unified system, it is plain that Perth
Agbov. with her matchless water facilities, can push ahead
never before. There is, under the port development plan,
l incentive to do the big thing because it will be linked
IN with the whole so that the greatest advantage can be de-
lived therefore.
This is Perth Amboy's opportunity. All that is neces-
sary is to have men in charge of public affairs big enough
to see it. The opportunity is offered the new Board of ALI
iermen to show what it can do.

HASKIN TELLS OF UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

As an internationally used Ian
guage, Eng .ish has the advantage or
being derived from both Teutonlc
and Romance languages. Thus II
has man. words familiar to people
speaking both types of languages
and it is more acceptable to both
than a language entirely dissimilar
to heir own would be.
Because Of the widespread use OF
English, ole of the other uses OF an
artificial international language is
disappeariE.". 1t has been claimed
that an artificial language made
travel easier. The American finds
thai almost anyone who would take
the trouble to learn Esperanto un-
derstands enough English to supply
his wants.
There remains another field where
Esperanto is advocated. This is for
trade and fol communication by air.

a common language that can be
quickly mastered would be of serv-
ice. A better meal of communica-

The advance of french has been
restricted because French has had TO
share with the Spanish in popular
ity among foreigners. Many stu
dents, able to take only n of the
two languages, have chosen Spanish
because of it's predicted importance.
So far as communication in South
America is concerned, Spanish is I'M
portant. Americans are said to have
caused resentment in some cases
because they came to sell goous IN
South American countries ana ex-
pecled everyone to talk English with
them. Spanish is not making rapid
progress, however, as an lnterna-
tional language.
The Spread of English

Not only is English spoken regu-

English people who master any lam
