"I know of hut ono cae where a
eompnnv tried to Hint a d-vdock propo
sition." he said. "The bank refused to
linnuce it. That bank was not idenll
fted with Mr. Stotcsbury as far as I
know."
Sas Slotcsbtiry Not Consulted
II. ltireliarel Tavlor, vice president of
the Cramp Shipbuilding Company, said
that it is nbsiird for mij one to state
that Mr Stotedmry has opposed any
one in an) pioject to build a drjdock
here.
"I can speak with autlioritv," said
Mr. Tujlor, "as 1 have handled all ne
gotiations regarding drj docks for our
company. Mr. Stotesbury was not con
sulted. We did our best to secure the
assistance of the government, through
the Shipping Hoard, for the erection of
a bin drydock, but we failed.
"Such an investment, especially after
the outbreak of the war when every
thing was costing two prices, was im
possible for private capital. Our own
drjdock was scarcely a paving proposi
tion before the war. While hostilities
were in progress thero were numerous
transports to b" cared for, but it is a
epiestion in to whether our dock will
make expenses now- the war is over.
"I heard of the New York Founda
tion Company plan for a drjdock here,
and talked the matter oer with some
epresentatives. We also heard from
other concerns which were figuring upon
the possibilities of a drjdock. These
men asked us for our experience and
we gave them straight figures without
m iptibble. So far us Cramps and
Mr Stotesbttrv are concerned, we would
welcome the building of n big drjdoek
lie, but we e-oiild not rc-commcud
ii construction as a financial venture."
aiiout elrjcloiks.
s tlds : Some nipii
ith a scheme to
build a drydock to cost between hl.Otid
1100 and S."i, 000.000. I know nothing
about tlrydocks, and I didn't know
whether one would earn enough to pay
n return on the capital invested.
"The public will not put its money in
something it doesn't know will pay a
return, so I suggested that they take
their scheme up to Cramp's. I'p there
thc know nil about drydoeKs. and I
told Hip promoters I believed if Cramp's
believed such a dn dock would pay they
would finance it thcin.seles.
"As for me hnvtng an iuteiest in
Cramp's," Mr. Stotesbury added, "I
own only a few shares in the corpora
tion and have never served on the board
of diiectors. I nm only one of the
voting trustees of the corporation."
Discussing Mayor-elect Moore's as
sertion that lie will run down and ex
posp any interests opposed to decop
meut of the port, Mr. Stotesbury mid:
"I hope he does."
Mr. Moore in his address asserted
auy one who is opposing develop
ment of the port is an enemy of Phll
ude'nhia nnd will be exposed as such,
whether they bu individuals, corpora
tions or a nation,
"Why U it, he asked, "that even
though the port of New York is greatly
congested, whi'c the port of Philadel
phia has facilities thnt are not being
used, Phl'adclpbla manufacturers are
still shipping tbelr goods to New York
for export Instead of using this port and
helping to develop it, unless It is duo to
sinister influence?
"Some men have complained that
thrir goods are prejudiced if they ship
them through thin port. I propose to
try to find out Just why that Is and will
make public my findings,"

to investigate the matter."

Discussing Mr. Moore's words that

K'ltulttcd to go tiuoiigh," Mr. Hall as

"I would not accept a tainted of

WliAT is it when all is said
and done that makes so many
people in this community al
most extravagantly enthusiastic
about the Cadillac? We believe
it is not any one feature, or any
set of features, of construction
or operation. Rather, it is the
positive knowledge that, wheth
er they want to go 10 miles or
10,000, the Cadillac will go the
distance without repairs or ad
justment, '

Halfway to the Orient, and still in U. S. A.
Picture a perfect May day multiply it by 365 that's the year
in Hawaii, the Island Paradise of the Pacific.
Add tropical forests where .row the cocoanut and royal palm, the banyan and
thehau, and strange flower of manyhuet. From coral islands.thus carpeted,
riic volcanic mountains two miles skyward right out of the sea.
Here are spectacular volcanoes the cver-elowing ruby of fiery Kilauea and
the largest of earth's craters, Halealcala easily accessible to the very brink.
These areas are in the Hawaiian National Park, established by the United
States Government.
Waikiki Beach offers winter surf-bathing in sunny waters. Honolulu, the capital
of the islands, is a modern city, in the midst of a native civilization centunei old.
All at the end of a trip by land and sea unique in all (he world. After seeing
California, you board a luxurious steamer at San Francisco, and are at Honolulu
in about a week, after a delightful cruise.
Travel to Hawaii is heavy; you should rcservo passage well in advance to insure
getting accommodations desired.
