Port of Joint Authority Urges Rail

Railroads opposed to unification Of

are fighting a policy followed every
where else in the United States, and
B., manifestly in the interests of trans
portation users. according to conten-
tions in a brief filed with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission by the
port of New York authority. That or
ganization, created by joint action of
the states of New York and New Jer-
sey, has appealed to the commission
for assistance in bringing about the
consolidation of the terminals now

Of OVERSIZE AT|OV

The boil weevil will be viewed as
a blessing to the south in after
years, according to H. B. Craddick,
Rotarian and advertising expert, of
Minneapolis, who is in Atlanta for
few days.
Diversified farming is the cause
of so much prosperity in the middle
west" Mr.. Craddick said. THAT
section is thriving and to the va
riety of crops is due the credit
Dairying has gained considerable
impetus and the farmers are profit
ing by the huge demand for milk
and butter.
1--WE Of the north know very lit.
tie about the south, but we keep
up with your cotton situation. We
are much interested in the depreda-
tons of the boil weevil and are
watching approvingly the south's
moves toward diversification."
Mr.. Craddick said business condi-
tions in the middle west are on the
boom, and great era of pros
perity seems at hand.
"That condition, however" he de-
clared, "has only resulted since the
new year. There seems to have
been a combine with nature for so
far we've had very little bad wealth
err and construction work has not
been suspended anywhere because of
ice and snow. That has brought
about a condition of little unemploy-
ment."
Mr.. Craddicl1 said a building rec
ord will be smashed during the pres
ent year.
There is more money in circula-
ton, he asserted, and spoke of rec
ord bank clearings and of the in
crease in savings deposits in the
banks.

connections in Atlanta, Mr.. Craddlck

ability to climb all the way to the
top of the hole depends upon devel-

National City bank, said today. Mr..
Forgan, through his bank, is Ia

with the 1928 crop season about
to start, the American farmer finds
himself in fine condition at home
but in a mess. abroad" Mr.. Forgan
said. "And no matter how good
the condition is here, his future sue
cess depends largely on the foreign
situation, which is exceptionally crit
ical.
1.-THE farmer must find market
for his surplus crops. Not only does
he depend on Europe to take this
surplus, but the prices paid in Eu-
rope largely control domestic prices.
THE truck and fruit farmer, with

by far the best situated.

with cotton at 26 cents, has succeed

MARIETTA SYR|ANS
ARE j. 8. CITIZENS,
FRANCE To Be TOLD

Members Of the Syrian colony at
Marietta are naturalized American
citizens, and therefore are of no con-
Germ to the French government in
connection with the dynamiting of
the home Of one member of the
colony last December, according to
a letter to Governor Hardwick from
Judge Samuel II. Sibley, which was
received Wednesday.
A letter to the governor arrived
Monday from Secretary of State
Hughes, in Washington, informing
him that the French embassy had
made informal inquiry in regard to
the dynamiting. This was done, Sec
rotary Hughes explained, by reason
of the fact that the French govern
ment has a mandate over Syria and
has undertaken the protection Of
Syrians in foreign countries. Sec
Rotary Hughes requested the gov
ernor to give him information about
the incident.
Judge Sibley resides at Marietta,
and in his capacity as a citizen he
participated i ma citizens mass meet
ng which denounced the outrage in
the strongest terms and pledged the
support of the law-abiding element
of the community to the Syrians
From his personal knowledge of the
facts Judge Sibley wrote the gov
ernor the following letter, received
at the governors office Wednesday:
Dear Governor:
Il notice in the newspapers the
reference to you of an inquiry from
the French government touching
the Syrian residents of Marietta. 1
was told by one of the leading mem
bers OF the Syrian group there that
the man who was dynamited as
we'll as the other residents there
were naturalized citizens of the
! United States. 1 have not examined
the record or seen their papers, but
assume this to be true. If so, the
French government, of course, has
| no concern in the matter. The
property damage was not over ten
or fifteen dollars; nobody, of course,
was hurt, and you are aware of the
fact that six or seven hundred of
| the best citizens of the community
met and pledged them their support
and protection if they cared to re-
main in Marietta.
"The greatest damage done was
the affront to the community by a
| lawless effort to terrorize, in my
opinion, the people who were per-
sonalIy distasteful to whoever got
the enterprise up. I do not think
they are in any danger now, but
on the other hand, L think they
think they are. and will likely leave.
This is simply for your informa'
ton in case you did not know all
of these facts
Both the letter of Secretary
Hughes and the letter of Judge Sib'
ley are awaiting the governors at
tention on his return to the city
next Monday.
