While 1t Is generally recognized that
parks increase adjacent real estate
values. the prevalent notion that play
grounds decrease values Is secuted in
report on public recreation which has
just been issued by the Regional Plan
of New York and It's Environs.
The report, which is based on the
results of five or six years of research,
gives the results Of investigation as to
the values of land adjacent to seven
Fairgrounds in Manhattan and two in
Brooklyn. Fairgrounds do not cause
any retardation in the natural rise of
land values and in some instances may
be responsible for considerable in
crease in value" the report states.

I have no patience with bigotry. I confess that I am
intolerant Of intolerance. I denounee every effort to
bring any question of religion into this campaign. We
have enough troubles in this country without intro
dueing into our political discussions difference Of re-
ligious faith. In this republic everyone has the right
to worship God according to his own conscience and
we subject no candidate for office to any religious test.
This American spirit is the hope Of our country. the
essential safeguard Of religion itself. rs well as Of the
state. Let US have the sportsman-like spirit and De
fair to both candidates. l do not regard IL as any

Want Anti Trust Laws Modified

modification Of the present antitrust laws to give
greater freedom to industry in adapting itself to mod.
ern economic conditions, was advocated by speakers
al the recent meeting Of the National Association of
Manufacturers. The fact was pointed out that the
antitrust laws do not conform to modern economic
nreds; that organization of capital for the purpose Of
establishing any industry upon an economic basis is
now recognized as necessary. and that the obsolete
laws now IN effect arc proving a serious handicap.
No one can deny that the Sherman antitrust law.
passed IN 1873, was formulated for the express PUT
pose OF r~emedying conditions such as prevailed at that
time. II the 80 years that have elapsed. industry has
made tremendous strides. but our statutes have not
kept progress. They have not been amended 70 meet
changing conditions. and manufacturers assert that
within the next decade American industry must cease
70 expand unless congress takes cognizance or this
condition.
One Of the most progressive ideas advanced in this
connection Is that a commission composed of the ma
tion'S leading industrialists and economists be ap-
pointed to study the problem Of antitrust laws and
recommend remedial legislation. One speaker at the
national meet suggested that Governor Smiths con-
mission plan. whereby all subjects requiring expert
study and advice be submitted to a commission Of ex-
perts, be adopted as the recommendation Of the asso-
citation. This was not intended a. partisan, merely in
dicating the associations approval Of that method Of
ascertaining fundamental facts before recommending
legislation.
The claim u made by leading manufacturers that
by prohibiting the formation Of holding corporations,
the antitrust laws have forced industry TO build up
huge single manufacturing units, leaving the small
producers in a position where they cannot cooperate
to meat competition. Speakers recommended forma-
tion Of a new government bureau designed 70 make
exhaustive studies Of the entire productions and dis
tribution system in order that accurate information
would be available and which would automatically
eliminate Inauguration Of manufacturing efforts in
already overcrowded fields.
The American people will not approve any amend
ment Of the antitrust law which does not assure the
public the protection the law was designed to afford.
But there is no logical reason Why they should not APP
prove an amendment designed TO improve the condition
Of industry by eliminating the c%ut-throat methods
which are a serious handicap to industrial expansion.
That the old theory that competition is the life 81
business" holds good only to a certain degree has re-
peatedly been proved in the past twenty years. and
what industry now needs IL more cooperation and less
competition. II the antitrust law must be amended TO
remedy existing conditions, the remedy should be ap-
piled without delay.

Shipping Board Makes Loan

American maritime corporations received with con-
siderable interest last week the information that the
American shipping board had made its first loan n
American ship builders. The loan went q the Export
Steamship Corporation Of New York; the amount was
s45o0O0 and the funds will he used in the construc-
tion Of four combination passenger end freight yes
sells. The loan amounts "a three fourths the cost Of
building the vessels.
This Is the first action taken under the Jones-WhIts
merchant marine act passed A. the last session o. con-
grcss, and which. the proponents or the law stated, is
intended to restore the American flag to the seas and
seek to regain for American vessels the prestige Of the
days 81 the Yankee clipper. The shipping board Is pro-
vided with a revolving fund Of S25O,OO0.OeO from which
the low interest loans arc made.
The Joncs-Whitc act amended the loan provisions
or the merchant marine act Of 1920. Increasing the
amount Of such loans from two-thirds to threeIourths
Of the value Of the vessels to be constructed. and pro
providing that the interest should be at "the lowest
ton" The previous rate was 4 l-22 per cent, but IN
der tho new will 70 20 ( per cent or less.
The loan marks the first step under the sharply
debated law giving assistance TO private shipping. many
Of tho opponents Of the bill charging that il virtually
q subsidy. They admitted. however. that It would
proyee Of great value in rehabilitating American ship
ming, and that the cost 20 the government would con-
sist merely Of the creation OF the revolving fund.
Development Of coastwise shipping lines Is expected
to be rapid under the new iaw, and in this respect its
advantages are expected to be more widespread than in
promoting foreign commerce. Many Of the vessels nov

cessively expensive in operation, and maritime inter
ests predict that complete rehabilitation Of many Of
the coastwise lines will result from the more liberal
policy Of the government.
