Di|isent Study Needed
To Pick Best Speed Route

THERE is difference of opinion between State High
1 way Commissioner G. Donald Kennedy and Leroy c.
Smith, Wayne County road engineer route for
Detroit crosstown highway.
In preparing plans for this necessary develop
ment Kennedy recommended limited thorough
fare following Harper and McGraw This decision
reached after long and presumably thorough study
of traffic flows and right of way costs
Smith disagrees with Kennedy and suggests that
East-West highway following Mack and Myrtle
street would costly and of greater service to the
motoring public.
The local road engineers arguments seem convincing
In the first place crosstown high speed artery should
enter somewhere within the loop area where traffic
gestion is at its worst Otherwise it will not help the
thousands of business people and shoppers who today
have means of rapid transportation
THE proposed Myrtle-Mack route would be linked from
Michigan to Graot in the heart of the down
town area, while the McCrawHarper plan would be miles
distant from Detroits business section
Furthermore Smith argues that'the downtown route
would bseet bghed both the east side and west
side. Therefore it would be less costly in much
right of way is the most expensive part of modern
elevated recessed street.
He points out too that the lower route would be just
servceabe providing transportation to the factory
districts either side of the city.
During his many years IN the highway department,
Kennedy demonstrated that he has sound and advanced
ideas on highway construction He makes important
decisions hurriedly
BECAUSE Of his long study of traffic conditions here,
- and his determination to give Detroit modern, high
speed street system Kennedy must have good for
recommending a which does not at first glance
the most practical
These should be discussed and the merits of
the alternate routes weighed carefully before final decision
is made
Meanwhile Detroit remains grateful to Commissioner
Kennedy for his digent efforts to give break to auto
mobile the part of Michigan which produces the
money used heretofore for roads outside Wayne County,

unions. now is the opportune
time to make them so.

Civilization i'm Balance

AM for aiding England to the last resource
we have without Gripping our own pro-
gram.
To deny England sorely needed aid at this
crucial hour is to lay the foundation for
Nazi-governed Europe and an America which
could not long stand alone.
The civilized world hangs on to the slender
thread of hope that may yet save the world

THE officials in Washington imply that they
1 are adhering to public demands in their
endeavor to pass the lease-lend bill, but how
do they determine what the majority of the
people prefer?
If they are ascertanng the trend of pub
lie sentiment by computing opinions expressed
in letters such as this, then let us have re-
port on the percentage in favor of passage of
the bill and those opposed to same. Also
report on the total number of people express
ing an opinion.
Compared to the population of the United
States, wager the percentage expressing in
dividual opinions is insignificant
There is only one reliable method for de-
Gliding what the majority of citizens want
their representatives to do. This is the sys-
tenn used by a true democracy, namely, ma
tienal balIoting. We may be told that there
is insufficient time to permit balloting on this
question. However, less time would be con-
sumed by the nations voters than that
required by our Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives in deciding on the kind of assist
ance to give to England.
If England is defeated in this war, it will
probably be due to her own shortsghtedness
in not recognizing changing world conditions
and revising her government to meet same
effectively.
Englands ortsghtedness is certainly
not responsibility. To perfect and
strengthen our government and defenses is
of paramount importance and is definitely
responsibility. Let's take of it first.
There is plenty of evidence result of
the last war to indicate that England is not as
interested in our good will she is in our
pocket book. We lost men and money in the
last and she not interested enough
in our good will to pay back our money.
Now in this crisis England wants our
money and materials without depriving her
self of any of her worldly possessions, of
which she has many. Why should SIZE not
sell or mortgage some of these possessions to
pay for her war? Why? Because he takes
all and pays nothing if she can get away
with it.
If her form of government is so precious
she should be willing to sacrifice some of
her wealth to preserve it as she is to sacrifice
the lives of her people. Obviously wealth is
lives well good will.
| agree with Col. Charles Lindbergh, Henry
Ford and Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, who haven't
any political axes to grind and therefore
press the true facts. l do not intend to give
England any other country any of our
money or materials which they cannot pay for.
