IF the agitation had at any other time than it
probably wouldn't have made much difference The Japs
would have sold out and gone quietly awayand outside

WOULDN'T HAVE
FIVE BIG LINERS

IF the Smith Cove terminal had
not been huilt-and this was an en-.
tcrprisc that would never have been
undertaken by private interests-we
would not have the five '535' Admiral
liners which arc spending from S..
100000 10 sl0.0O0.0OO n year in this
port. These expenditures make It
the greatest single industry in Sc.
attic, which is certainly all the justi.
flcation necessary for the ports ac-
ton.
ITO compare these figures with the
proposed expenditure. let me remind
you that these ships alone spend
every 60 days in Seattle moro than
enough money to cover the entire
cost OF acquiring the Skinner & Eddy
site.
And these ships spend In Seattle
every week more than the total tax
that is being levied for port pur.
