Creation of ProIetarian
''United States of Europe"
First Necessary, He Says.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, June 30-The revolution
in America" is far distant. and this
constitutes a condition which can be
combated only by the creation of a
proletarian United States of Europe"
declares Leon Trotsky. soviet war
minister. in a lengthy article in the
newspaper Pravda, indicating the
view that America will be the last
stronghold of capitalism.
Closer economic cooperation among
the European nations is necessary.
he adds. "as the only means of saving
our continent from economic disin-
tegration and enthrallment by the
mighty American capital.
Having got what she wanteN. he
continues, America withdrew her
hands from the European mess and
returned home, and she is now calmly
awaiting the agony of European econ
omy to reach Il crisis in which Europe
may be bought up, as was Austria,
for little money.
War Made u. S. Stronger.
America emerged from the war not
weakened, but strengthened. The
bourgeoise is still very great. The
revolution in America. therefore, is in
the distant future"
NJ. Trotsky declares the workers of
Europe must be shown the way to
revolution, regardless of how the
movement develops on the other con-
tinents. Europe, he concludes, can
no more wait for the American revo-
luton than could Russia for the
European.
NJ. Trotsky predicts that the work
ers and peasants of Europe, block
AIDED by capitalistic America and at
first perhaps by Great Britain also,
will be able to withstand the on
slaught and develop a close military
and. economic alliance.
.Unfty Is EurOpe's Need.
I'VE cannot close our eyes" he
says, ito the fact that the danger
of the United States bringing about
the ruin of Europe and preparing to
enter upon the right of inheriting
its dominions makes it absolutely
imperative for the European nations
to combine firmly in united states
of European workers and peasants
The principal reasons for the slow
development of the world revolu-
tion," NJ. Trotsky thinks, We're the
false hopes built in Europe on the
American Uncle wisconsin, the phi
lanthrophic penetration of the famine
stricken districts, the American loans
and so on"
However, he predicts that the Eu-
ropean revolution will inevitably
give impetus to the movement of the
proletariat.

Four hundred years is not an ex-

strated the ability of a turtle to live
far from his native habitat in re-
spectacle sobriety. the scientists de-
clared, but they quoted Raymond l..
Ditmars, curator of the Bronx Park
Zoo in New York city, who wrote of
tortoise that had lived to the mel
low age of "at least" 400 years.
There are other examples tnnumer-
able to prove that zoologists' ac-
cepted theory as to turtles ages Is
well-founded and that most of them
at least pass the three-century mark.
Survivors of an age when reptiles
grew to tremendous sizes, the giant
tortoises are to be found now most
ly in the Galapagos Islands, 500 miles
off the coast of Ecuador. There they
bask peacefully in the scorching rays
of a tropical sun and reflect back
upon their earliest ancestors through
bewildering ages of time, for the
giant tortoise alone of all reptiles
has survived the commissions of ma
ture unchanged. according to scien-
fists. They alone fail to show any
phase of the obliterating sway of
degeneracy.
Generally Accepted Theory.
Although there are no official rec
ords to prove 1t. the generally accept
ed theory is that Capt. Cook stopped
at the Galapagos Islands on one of
his famous cruises, captured num-
ber of these giant turtles and re-
leased one in the Tongas group, with
the date carved in its thick shell. SO
that when future generations found
1t they might attempt To gauge its
age. 1t is supposed Capt. Cook must
have selected ii young turtle for the
experiment.
But the famous mariners well laid
plans have proved nothing: they have
contributed nothing more important
to science than the knowledge that
some turtles grow old rapidly and
others gradually. His has proved to
be only a poor. lonely turtle gone

WHAT ABoUT THE STATE STREET. STATION?

We congratulate Trenton on the announcement that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is to build a new station in that
city to cost 100000. The work, it is stated, will be started
before the close of the summer.
Trenton has been demanding a new station for a long time.
Those of US who are accustomed to such a station as we have here
in Perth Amboy, were unable to see why Trenton should complain
with the accommodations there, but when compared with stations
in many other cities the size of Trenton, the station at the capital
was hardly in keeping with the Importance of the place.
A significant fact for Perth Amboy to consider is that the
negotiations with the railroad officials that brought about the
announcement that a new station was to be built in Trenton, were
carried on by a committee of the Trenton Chamber of Commerce
the home town. Perth Amboy suffers for the want of a civic or
ganization such as a Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade
to boost, boom and build for the city.
For instance, a Chamber of Commerce in Perth Amboy would
be fully justified in asking the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
what its intentions were regarding the old State street station
here when the grade crossing elimination is completed. We un-
derstand that a New Central station is assured when this work is
done, although no one seems to know very much about the kind
Of a station it is going to be, but there is nothing being said
about the State street station.
1t is with a great deal Of humiliation that a Perth Amboyan
meets stranger arriving in town at the State street station of the
State street station of the Pennsylvania railroad. Such accom-
as the Pennsylvania railroad gives Perth Amboy in
the way of a passenger station cannot be ignored much longer.
The size of the city and the business done here warrants some
thing decidedly more up to date. If the Pennsylvania railroad
can spend a million dollars to give Trenton a new station, surely
can well afford to give Perth Amboy something better than it
has.

CHAUNCEY G.

In the death of Chauncey C. Baldwin Perth Amboy has lost a
prominent citizen. As the head of one Of the city's largest indus
tries, as president of the Board of Water Commissioners, as an
active member of the East Jersey Club and other organizations
Mr.. Baldwin played an important part in the civic life of this
community. Loyal to his friends, generous in giving, and always
ready TO do his part in ~furthering every good cause, he will be
greatly missed.
From the time Mr.. Baldwin first became associated with a
local industry he has always made his home in Perth Amboy.
When so many of the heads Of large plants here have elected to
live elsewhere. maintaining only a business relation with this city,
Mr.. Baldwin was a Perth Amboyan in every sense of the word.
1T showed an interest and a confidence in the community that
was appreciated. The city has too few such men, and it can ill
afford to lose any of theme.
The industry Of which Mr.. Baldwin was the local head,
has done much to build up Perth Amboy. He was always work
Ing for expansion and development. He would have done even
more for the city had he been given the right kind of cooperation.
AS head of the Industrial Association he was in a position Of great
Influence. His endorsement of a proposition carried great weight
and he could always be counted on to back any enterprise that
would help Perth Amboy. The city learns of his death with a great
deal of regret. The sympathy of all is extended to those who must
feel the loss most.

WHY STREETS DO NOT CONNECT

Engineer Booz, in explaining to State Highway Com
issioner Jelin the reason why a direct detour could not be ar
nged in the northern section of the city while the Amboy avenue
wing is going on, said that the section through which the
ietour passed was developed by two different real estate firms
and the streets as laid out by each firm did not meet. Here is an
other striking object lesson for a city plan.
Perth Amboy should never allow any real estate develop.
ment to proceed without having it conform to a general scheme.
Real. estate spectators are interested only in the sale of lots.
They buy up a tract Of land and arrange streets so as to get the
most lots out Of its regardless of how the streets runs or where
they lead to. It is a serious mistake, as the city is finding out
il the northern section Of the city today. A city plan would have
eliminated all this trouble.
There is a lesson here for Woodbridge. Much development
is going on in the township. Different parties are doing the de-
velopment. Streets are being laid out with dead ends; they lead
nowhere and connect with nothing. Woodbridge ought to insist
that all new streets should conform to a definite plan. The COM
nunity at large has something at stake as well as the real estate
developers,
