case, Because of the facilities provided for the com- merce of peace times, Seattle alone, of the Pacific s Coast cities, was prepared when war broke out. Seattle has become a world port thru which flows an immense volume of raw material and food products from the Orient, vital to our war industries and to the people as a whole, who back up the war. Also we are the base of shipment of these supplies necessary for the rehabilitation of Russia. This tremendous commerce has swamped our" facil- ities, great as they are. To do our part, we must im- mediately build another large wharf at Smith’s Cove. The needs of our government and our people at war demand it. Will Seattle continue to do her part as a great port in helping to win the war? That is the real question presented to the vote of the Port District next Tuesday, in four propositions for the enlargement of the port facilities to meet the needs of the United States government and of the great commerce which the necessities of war have diverted to this port. When the people of the Port District voted bonds to build our public termins they little dreamed that they were providing facilities which would be- come vital to the United States government and the American people in meeting the needs of a war for the perpetuation of Liberty, but such has proven the hihi THE SEATTLE STAR] @Owt 1307 Seveuth Ave. Near Union St. MEMBER OF SCRIPPS NORTHWEST LEAGUE OF N Press Assec!
