DEVELOPING THE PORT AS A WHOLE

An effort is being made today to reach some agreement regard
ing the comprehensive development of the Port of New York. The
Port of New York Authority, consisting of three men from New
Jersey and three men from New York has been organized with the
power of the two states behind it and with the sanction of con-
gress. A plan has been devised for unifying the port and making
it the greatest and most modern in the world.
The scheme involves the railroads with terminals on the Jersey
shore. These are to be brought together at one important distri-
buting yard from which electric trains are to carry the freight
through tunnels to various parts of Manhattan. The railroads,
however, are inclined to balk at the plan. Some Of the companies
are more advantageously located than others and they feel that
they should be allowed to enjoy their privileges thus attained.
This attitude on the part of the railroads is holding up the progress
Of the work.
3 In an effort to get together, a conference has been called at
which the Port of New York Authority, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the heads of the various railroads will be present
This conference is being held in New York today. 1t is hardly
likely that a settlement will be reached at once, but a start will be
made. 1t is apparent that something has got to be done to bring
the port under one head, and the organization of the port authority
made up of the representatives of the two states is the logical
solution.
The success Of the scheme, however, depends largely on New
,york's attitude in regard to the port authority. There is an effort
heing made in the New York legislature TO turn owe. the appoint
ment of New York's representation on the port authority to New
York city. This means it will be placed in the hands of the Hylan
administration. But the Hylan administration has been fighting the
port authority since it was first started. 1t would eliminate New
Jersey entirely and have New York work out her own development
The fayorite argument is that New York is being drawn into a
scheme to develop the New Jersey meadows. The city government
il New York has done everything possible to block the unified port
movement.
Should the Hylan administration succeed in having its way
ew Jersey would be prepared to go it alone and there is reason to
believe that the Interstate Commerce Commission would revise its
decision regarding freight rates and permit New Jersey to enjoy the
fun advantage of her location. In that case New York would be
decidedly the loser. 1t Is to be hoped, however, that not only will
the scheme to turn over the New York end Of the port authority
to the Hylan administration fail, but that an agreement will be
reached with the railroads SO that the work Of developing the port
as a whole can go on.

KISMET-APRIL 6

Six years ago this April 6, the United States declared
war on Germany. We won't bore you with a lot OF cheap
oratory about what our country did in the war-such things
as statistics and the force we exerted in swinging the decision.
These things you already know. Or, to be more precise, each
of us has his individual opinion.
On this April 6, your thoughts swing out and contemplate
the world as the war left it-Europe, in particular.
Things still are messed up badly. But they're steadily
getting untangled. Europe is returning to hard work-in-
creasing production. The people over there, dazed and pys-
chically nervous ARE nevertheless learning their lesson, that
war doesn't pay. Truth comes slowly. But it'll come in
time. Compared with a year ago, Europe is emphatically IN
better condition. Her politicians still are eating fire. Time
will remedy that also-restore sane leadership.
We have been expecting too much of Europe. Any one
who knows history, realizes that it takes CONSIDERATIONS
for people to settle down after a big war. America hasn't
totally recovered yet from the Civil War. Any old-timer,
particularly in the southern states, will tell you that the suf-
ferlng, confusion and bitterness that resulted from the Civil
War lasted for years and years. On a smaller scale, we went
through what Europe is going through today and will for
years to come.
So don't become discouraged when Europe has a natural
over there-and a lot faster than public affairs lunatics tell
us.
1t takes longer to rebuild a house than to tear it down.
As Tor America today, you'd hardly know we entered the
war, except when you go out to buy something or when the
tax man calls. Several millions still feel the war keenly. hut
viewing the nation In a broad way we have practically .recov-
cred" This is demonstrated in the fact that the war is yir1-
ally eliminated from our minds. How many days out of a
month does our part IN the war pop up to your attention? And
even then, how many minutes until You brush it aside?
On April +, 1917, our Congress took action that shaped the
"hoie word S future for centuries to come. That day was a
turning OF the tide, one of the most gigantic dates in history.
we are living too close to it to realize. The world came to a
fork IN the road. 1t turned to the right-and is going ahead
steadly. POSTWAR troubles will diminish as the years roll on.

THE REFEREE

(By Albert Applet

U~ndercurrent
The long distance dancing craze
continues among the young people
of Scotland and England. Edin-
! burgh two couples dance over twen-
| ty-one hours without stopping.
Buenos Aires cables that Anna
Gutbrod, girl swimmer, swan TWEEN
ty-two hours forty-seven minutes
without stopping.
Desire to increase endurance is
becoming an international psychic
wave. Its meaning? Probaly that
the world is getting ready to buckle
down to hard work to unshoulder
the war debt. Watch dancing. It's
humanity's weathervane. The ma
niacal restlessness that pr~ecipitated
the world war started with the tan
| go craze in Buenos Aires.
Losing
Something serious to worry about:
Plough lands throughout the coun-
try are worth an average of 26 cents
on the dollar less than they were
three years ago. Value of an acre
of plough land now is about $66,
compared with nearly $40 a year
ago, $S4 two years ago and $50 in
1920.
The lower price, regulated by de-
mand, means that farming is stead
lily becoming less attractive. That's
natural, considering unfairly low
prices received by farmers. They
must get a larger share of prosper
ity OF cities will have a real food
problem and smaller markets for
city-made goods.
Treasures
Flood of art treasures is flowing
toward our country rom Europe.
Art treasures change hands a lot
after every big war. They're part
of the spoils go to the victor.
So, apparently we won the war.
However, we're paying fancy prices
for them, millions of dollars. That's
better than the old way. when loot
ing armies stole the art treasures
and carried them off as part of their
plumber. Some day, when II CIV
ilization wanes, the same art treas
ures and others will go to Brazil
and Australia, destined to be the
leading world powers. Not while
you live.
Snakes
Don't kill snakes, warns Reming-
ton Kellogg. He's the scientist who
has been studying food habits of
reptiles for Uncle Sam. Snakes, he
finds, are invaluable as pest de-
stroyers. Their diet includes field
mice. rats and other crop ravagers.
Nature maintains a wonderful
system of checks and balances.
Everything that exists has its def
mite purpose. When we destroy life
of any kind, we interfere with ma
ture, except as natures whole
scheme is for life to prey on life.
Victims
Thirty skeletons of men, women
and children are dug up on the out
skirts of Paris when workmen break
into an underground room. These
skeletons belonged to people who
were walled up alive during religious
wars about 500 years ago. They
had clawed the walls in frenzy. The
Christian idea of how to convert has
changed a lot in five centuries.
Human nature does change.

THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE

\ There is a persistent demand from the northern part of the
state for relief from the congestion on the main highway to the
coast resorts. The delegation from Middlesex county that ap.
peared before the State Highway Commission and asked for state
aid in building three roads, all of which would aid materially in re-
1eving the congestion on the present main highway, did not re-
ceive a great deal Of encouragement, although the state board is
not to blame. The previous board had already exhausted the appro-
priation for aiding in improving county roads, and all the money
the highway commission has available is needed for the state high
way system.
The fact remains, however, that something ought to be done
as quickly as possible to relieve the congestion on the route to the
fact that "'autosts last summer found it took eight hours to make
the auto trip from the seashore to North jersey This, of course,
was on unusual occasions, although the delay is very great every
weekend. The Newark Ledger, in commenting on the situation,
says the neck of the bottle, SO to speak, is between Matawan and
Red Bank, giving the impression that the request of Middlesex
county that the Matawan -Cheesquake road be improved, would not
remedy the situation much.
As a matter of fact, the neck of the bottle is between Keyport
md Perth Amboy. Below Keyport there are several roads leading
to the coast resorts, all in good condition. Above Perth Amboy
several routes may be chosen into North Jersey. But unless one goes
around by the way of New Brunswick, it lis necessary for all auto,
mobiles to come to Keyport and from there on northward they must
fellow the some route until the bridge over the Raritan river here
Is crossed. This includes the abominable Morgan crossing. By
Improving the Matawan-Ch eesequake road a parallel route would
DO available that would not only relieve the congestion on the
main route from Keyport to South Amboy, but it would avoid the

The Old Town
BARCLAY
Street by Strect--Know Your City

Barclay street extends from the
tracks Of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey to Groom street, and is
considerably bui1t up, especially in
the section nearest the railroad. The
section from Cornell street to Groom
street was opened up about two
years ago and is not thickly popu-
lated. Although the street has been
graded there al no curbings or siee-
walks. The roadway at the present
time is rather rough and could be
greatly improved. Among the i'm
provements in that section are water
and sewers. Many trees along the
street, especially in the section east
of Cornell street, adds much to the
beauty of the thoroughfare.
Barclay street was named after
Robert Barclay, one of the early
settlers Of this city and at M time a
governor of the state.
