UP TO CITIZENS Sixty-five Have Asked for Specifications for First of Municipal Research Bureau Municipality's After-War Port Improvements, Which It Is Estimated Will Cost $11,370,184.17 Nathan T. Folwel, who for thirteen years was president of the Manufac turers' Club, has sent a copy of Sen- ntor Lodrre'R Hpeech against the league of nations movement In the Peace Coun cil to Lloyd George, tho Brlllnh Premier. Mr. Polwell wantH tho Brlllnh Pre mier to "learn Komethlng of the thoughts of some of our leader who are not sitting In thy Peace Council." Mr. Folwell has just been given a sllyer loving cup In appreciation of his long, faithful sen les to the Manufac turers" Club. Unlike tho "captains of Industry" In novels nnd on the stage, Mr. Folwell frequently Is able to stop In the middle of a day's work and chat or give- his views. And he doesn't give those views to the accompaniment of flsts bangid on table nnd fingers run thtough hair. lie Is a gentleman of opinions, but he has plenty of tolerance for those who aro opinionated on the other side. He doesn't believe In labor unions, for Instance, but he recognizee them and doesn't call them names nor want them legislated out of existence any more than ho adversely criticises his com petitors In business. The only laws Mr. Folwell wants against anybody aro laws against Kit rope's "reds" and products of Europe's cheap labor. r Kxpecti OmnI Result Mr. Folwell s3 he expected some thing good to come from tho Peace Council something good for the world. "I believe tome sort of agreement for arbitration can be reached," he said, "and will be reached, and It may be such as to prevent all future wars If the nations will agree to reduce arma ments to the requirements ' of police duty. ".But so far as a league of nations an actual league, such as the ultra-op-tlmlsts nnd Idealists expect I don't be lieve will result. Since the Senate, un dor the Constitution, ratifies treaties, and Congress, under the Constitution, declares war, It is hard to sec how this country can make any agreement to tight or not to fight, according to the wishes of some other countries. That is,-. In substance what Senator Lodge and Senator Knox have Bald. "I sent Senator Ixdgc's speech on the subject to Premier Lloyd' George and havo his secretary's acknowledg ment of Its receipt Mens on Importations Of restrictions of importations Mr. Folwell sayi: "Whatever arrangements the Peace Council makes, It will make none re garding tariff. Every nation must and will reserve the right to handle Its own tariff question. I don't think many per sons seriously consider a world free trade. "Kuropo 'would like us to become a free trade nation and the reason Is ap parent. England, Franco and Germany want to Import our raw material, man ufacture It with their cheap labor :neup oectuso mo whole standards of un, mere nre so much lower than they aro hee and then send It bacit to us In manufactured form. ,..?'. .c,ourBC' wc uW not compete.

Previous lctllngs by the Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries during the years immediately before the war and while the conflict was undor way attracted but little attention and com paratively few contracting concerns en tered the port development field. The rush this week for first chance at an after-the-war contract Is bclleed to mark a new era In this line of business In Philadelphia. Keen competition means better prices for the city for nil kinds of labor an material. Tho price scale set by con tracting firms In their efforts to land the first big pleco of work to be let by the city after tho resoratlon of peace will set a new standard and show clearly how far the mnny millions the city has available will cover the field originally designated when the big loans were authorised at the opening qt the Smith ndmlnlstrnltnn.
