There wili be no exodus to Europe this summer, The Great Green Way of the Atlantic is as lonely as Now York's Great White Way on a sum- mer Sunday night.

They can't come here fast enough to satisfy the merchants and manufacturers who have goods for foreign consumption, The shipping business in the port of New York is at fever heat. Even the windjammers of the old Gays are being pressed into service. The towboat compantes have all they can do. Good times are here for stevedores and longshoremen, ship- chandlers and all dealers jn ship sup- plies, A harvest of another sort is being garnered along the water front and the money is all coming in in- stead of all going out, The Hamburg-American and the North German Lloyd are the big suf. 8 in the wartime.
