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.
What they would be selling n. ..,.. 1.1 u-
labor and they could sell labor cheaper
...- no mum. mere is no danger of
our making any agreement with the
other nations that will put our inw
competition with Europe's. Th
This s the third of a eriet of
article on munfrtpol affairs in I'Mla
dclphta. m
Slxty-the contractors havo applied for
specifications for the new city pier to bo
built at tho foot of Kcnllworth street.
Proposals will be received February H,
The pier will bo the first of a series
of port developments that will be started
thh year. These Improvements will cost
tho city ll, 370,184. 17.
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.
The contract when let will furnish
employment for several hundred men,
nnd later contracts will double and triple
the number. Otllclals of the Department
of Whar.ves. Docks and Ferries today
authorized the statement that most ol
the work for which plans have been
prepared will We put under contract

estimated cost of $871,293. This work Is

a balance of $210,380.67 to be paid on

Snare S. Trlest have also been paid
$646,576.10 on their $860,000 contract for
the completion of Pier No. 75, South

What is
the difference
between the
Steinway and other
pianos? It 'is not in an
advertised nam e Stein
way reputation flourishes with
out advertising. Not in age that
often indicates decadence. Not in past
achievements each new year brings new
wants and sets up new standards. Not in
commercial combination commerce's end fs
gain without regard for art. Not in bulk of
outputvolume of product is opposed to art. It
is in that harmonious and uninterrupted Steinway
growth that has inseparably connected this piano
with the world's music a development of the con
tinuous handiwork and inventive genius of, four generations
of Steinways, who have produced pianos in an atmosphere
of art entirely foreign to trade and .the commonplace.
