As 1923 draws to a close, do you realize that the railroads
have handled more freight traffic this year tnan en any
of the past? It's an achievement in transportation. "A
weatbervane of what lies ahead in the way OF prosperity.
When the railroads are hauling reeord-breaklng amounts
of freight. it's obvious that business men are stocking up 1of
a continuation of active business conditions. Merchants are re-
plenishing their stocks of goods, expecting future buyers
Wholesale and jobbers are stocking heavily, expecting de-
mand from retailers. Mills and factories are stocking raw
materials, expecting orders from distributors. so 1t goes, all
the way from autos to building materials.
Each carload of freight represents future business IN the
making. j.
The exact number of freight cars loaded and moved by all
the railroads combined will not be known until about the
middle of January.
But traffic experts predict that 1923 freight movement
will total more than so million cars breaking all former rec
ords. More than 46 million cars had been loaded and moved
up to Dec. l. This was about six and a half million cars
more than in the corresponding IL months OF 1922, and about
10 million cars more than in the first IL months OF l92l.
Housewives, forever Juggling heavy market baskets, OF
ten ponder what a huge amount Of food it takes to feed a fam
lily. Ever.stop to reflect how much of other materials have
to be moved about the country? A freight movement Of
80 million cars a year means that almost half a freight car
Of materials has to be moved in a year for every man, woman
and child in the country.
That doesn't include the tremendous amounts transported
by motor vehicles.

No COmbromiSe With Soviet

There is a Strengthening, yet not unpleasant sensation IN the
region of the spine in store for every American who reads the
latest note of Secretary of State Hughes to the Russian soviet
government arbitrarily and peremptorily finding mo reason for
negotiations between the United States and Russia. " This latest
note, sent in reply to a soviet suggestion for negotiations, was
couehed in the same sharp language and tone of finahty which
characterized the earlier Hughes notes to the Russians. In SO
many words the soviet government is informed that Russia has our
terms and can take them or leave them.
+ Secretary Hughes speaks for the President and the American
people when he advises the Russians that "the American govern
paent il not proposing to barter its principles" He then specifies
tersely and definitely the conditions on which the United States
will recognize the Russian governments:
"f the soviet authorities are ready to restore the confiscated
hroperty of American citizens or make effective compensation they
san do SO. If the soviet authorities are ready to repeal their decree
Fepudiating Russias obligations to this country and appropriately
recognize them, they can do so.
cit requires no conference or negotiations to accomplish those
results which can and should be achieved at Moscow as evidence or
good faith. The American government has not incurred liabilities
10 Russia or repudiated obligations. Most serious is the continued
propaganda to overthrow the institutions of this country. This
government can enter into no negotiations until these efforts
directed from Moscow are Abandoned
Secretary Hughes is representing the American people, not
the soviet powers. He recognizes Russia's debt to the United
States and reveals no intention of forming an alliance with a dis
honest debtor, especially when such an alliance manifestly must
benefit primarily the debtor.
Secretary Hughes has not refused to recognize the soviet
government. He has demanded that the soviet recognize the
government of the United States.

The Right Spirit

The Woodbridge Leader urges cooperation with Perth Ampoy
In making a port survey. Woodbridge township and Perth
Amboy are really geographically one, says the Leader. Though
separate communities in government, they have the same interests
and should cooperate toward the same ends.
"~Industry means expansion, industry means more homes, more
business, more taxes, better roads, schools, in short a better town
to live in.
.Woodbridge is no longer "a little old town. with old
fashioned methods, although some still exist with a rapldy
diminishing fraction of our population.
"Better harbor and channel facilities will mean more shipping
for Perth Amboy. More shipping will mean greater inducement to
industries. where transportation facilities are a big item. Not only
will some of these industries take advantage of the excellent
factory sites of this township, but many of their office and shop
employees will live in all parts of the township and contribute to It's
growth and development. Residential, factory site and water front
realty will no longer lie idle, but will find development.
s.Weh hope that the committee will take these future possibilities
into consideration when the question comes up for action"
The Leader takes the right view Of the matter. AS Perth
4mbov prospers, SO prospers Woodbridge. The two places are
bound to grow and develop together. But in this port survey,
Woodbridge must necessarily be included because any compre-
hensiye plan cannot be limited merely to the Perth Amboy water
front. In cruising up the Raritan river, for instance, 1t is surpf1s-
inc how quickly one passes from the Perth Amboy Waterfront TO
the waterfront of Woodbridge township. The same is true along
Staten Island sound. Naturally, all this territory must be included.
The same thing applies on the south shore along the South Amboy
waterfront.
Hut whatever is to be done by the neighboring municipalities
sbouI5 he done quickly. Probably it would be well for the Perth
Amboy officials to call a m meeting to consider port development and
invite the governing bodies of the municipalities concerned to be
present. Naturally, if other places are to share in the expense they
ought to have something to say about the plan. The matter
requires action if the benefits of federal aid in digging a thirty
foot channel up the river are to be had. The Board of Aldermen
cannot afford to let this matter drop.

Al wide range-and including rairoads-that show extra and

Thursday an exhibit was held at
the Grammar school to a%cquaint the
parents and friends of the pupils
with the work of the sewing depart
ment and the cooking department.
The former is under the direction of
Miss Mildred Westcott and is locat-
ed in the manual training building,
and the latter is under Mrs. Nathalie
Mosher in the main building. The
visitors were shown through both
buildings and observed the semes-
ter's work. There were on exhibition
sewing aprons, princess slips, cam
isoles, nightgowns, pajamas, chill
dren's clothes, dresses. MILDLY
blouses and cooking outfits; in the
cooking room canned fruits and veg
etables were displayed. These will be
given to the poor of the city. The
exhibition was open from / until 4.
There was only one session of
school today but at the Grammar
school that was filled with happy
activities until the last minute. The
rooms were all decorated with the
red and green of the season, beanti-
full trees adjoining many looms also.
Regular classroom activities were
the order of the first two and one
half hours but after that time par
ties, grab-bags and plays held sway.
The pupils left in q happy frame of
mind to begin their mid-year vaca-
ton.
A great many 'of the Grammar

trees to the hospital, and to private
families in poor circumstances.
Other classes denied themselves the
joy of a tree or a party n order
to make up a box of staples and
goodies for some less fortunate
people.

to their sale and many class pictures
have been ordered.

WASHINGTON, June 20-An atti,- tude of waiting was maintained today by the federal government toward the New York prohibition enforcement sit- uation, resulting from Governor Smiths signature to the New York en- forcement law repealer.
 Commissioner Haynes and other of- ficials remained silent and it was in- dicated that determination of policy would await the outcome of future conferences in which President Hard ing may have the deciding voice.
 A few prohibition agents from other parts of the country, it was indicated, at prohibition headquarters, may be sent to New York, but officials private Jy conceded that these could not fill the hole in the enforcement work as deep as complete withdrawal of the New York police agencies would make. A complete withdrawal is expected by government officials who believe that the New York State authorities will follow to some extent at least Cover
