NLY twenty-three persons were present yes- terday when the Transit Commission opened its public hearing on proposed alternative routes for rapid transit subways under the Narrows or New York Bay between Brooklyn and Staten Island. Was The Evening World doing an unnecessary thing in calling for more public interest in the commission’s transit plans? Here is a project of far-reaching importance to the city’s traction development. The plan has behind it the expert study of the only body that has comprehensive and authoritative grasp of transit needs. And not two dozen citizens care enough about it to attend a public hearing! No wonder Chairman McAneny adjourned the hearing to June 8 and asked for a Paul Revere to fide through Richmond Borough and wake up the’ people to an interest in their own concerns. The Hylan scheme of a combined freight and passenger tunnel to Staten Island is disapproved by the city’s own engineers. There is no provision ‘ for proper connections for the Hylan tunnel at either end. And there is grave doubt, as the legis- lative act of 1921 now reads, whether) if the city built the Hylan tunnel, it could even run trains in it under the plan of municipal operation the Mayor proposes. It is incredible that all Richmond is ready to take, without looking, anything Mayor Hylan says is good for it. ‘The Avocisted Press ts exclusively entitled to the use for republication All news Geapatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this paper No doubt the incident will suggest a new crop of “double” stories by aspiring writers of fiction. But beware! . Editors will view the yarns with a cold and unfeeling eye, even if accompanied by clippings of the news story on which the plot is based. “Doubles” are not “true to life.”. They no longer belong in fiction. Doubles are too improb- able. They only happen in fact. MORE LLOYD GEORGE TONIC. N outline of the Russian problem to date, a cheery hope that the reports of the various commissions at Genoa will have a good effect on trade, transportation, tariffs, currencies, &c., a brief but eloquent eulogy of the Genoa Conference as showing “the deep, passionate anxiety of the nations represented to have peace” —with no more than that Lloyd George won from the House of Commons a vote of 235 to 26 for what amounted to an expression of confidence. Who but Lloyd George could have done it? Who but Lloyd George can analyze difficulties and failures so engagingly as to arouse new spirit to overcome them? Perhaps the most ingenious thing he did was to contrive to leave an impression that the Russian memorandum that broke up the conference was due to a date—that May | demonstrations in Russia were what caused the Russian representa- tives at Genoa to become intractable and “nail their flag to the barren fig tree of communism.” He thinks the Soviet delegates who come to The Hague will come in a chastened mood, prepared ingens us ss tapes G2: SO eS ae By Winthrop Biddle.

It happened almost overnight, because somebody in clvil- ized latitudes discovered a substitute for whalebone. But even the substitute was not destined to have clear sailing. It had hardly established itself on the market when the women of the world gave it a collective slap in the face by refusing to wear anything near the amount of “‘bone’’ in their corsets and other costumes they used to. Back in 1906 the bowhead whale hunters were making fortunes by ven- turing into Arctic Seas and coming back with huge c: ‘goes of the sub- stance for which they thought there could be no substitute. There are about 2,000 pounds of ‘bone’ in a large bowhead. One of the largest catches was sixty-three whales in two seasons by a single ship. At $4 or $5 a pound that rep- resented a fortune for the owners, the commander and the crew on the basis of a proportionate share in the catch. Other vessels caught similar care goes. Everybody was getting rich on the spouting denizens of the deep. ‘The risk was regarded as amply com- pensated for by the results. If @ whaler never returned, the loss of ship and crew was regarded as part of the game. The invention of the commercial substitute brought the price from $4 or $5 a pound to 30 or 40 cents, That brought the price of a big bow- head whale down from $8,000 or even $10,000 to from $400 to $800. That, of course, knocked the bot- tom clean out of the industry. The whaling fleet vanished from the The Transit Commission has declared itself » “prepared to enter into any manner of practicable “co-operation that will give the Borough of Rich- mond its much needed transit relief.” - The Transit Commission tunnel plan would cost + $20,000,000 and connect at both ends with the rest | Vof the transit system. , The Hylan tunnel would cost $60,000,000, be _ doubtful of its connections and quite possibly have no trains in it. Are Staten Islanders in a doze or a daze? to give compensation, concessions and bonds in return for the credits they ask. He is hopeful of The Hague, delighted with the truce and convinced that “we have already cap- tured positions from which a further advance can be made.” It is easy to let in gloom on the picture. It is easy to take Lloyd George to pieces and frown over the dismantled parts. But who is rash enough to deny that Lloyd George is the most tonic influence in the world to-day in places where and at moments when such easel wa ; \ é i explorer, who has clear-cut views on F re the problem of feeding the, world, is authority for the statement that Arctic whaling is not likely to be re« sumed except for fertilizer or for food. And he ts very much for the re- sumption of whaling as a source of food supply. He says: @ “There are several countries now where whale meat is considered good to eat. If we do not care to accus- tom ourselves to whale meat, intern: tional arrangement might be made so that people who already like it can get it, leaving that’ much more beef ‘pt? t | and pork for the others. td DOUBLE CRISSCROSS. influence is most needed? ne alee wuale“acalee ntonreiiine ¥ turning whale steaks into fertilizer i N all the comment on the Daugherty case one should not be argument enough for significant chain of events seems to have es- ene elias chute cen paisa tor aasetz/at.erade ee chemist, crossings is: “Cross crossings cautiously.” “The chemists have learned to Tongue-twist it—cautiously. make fertilizer out of the air, but steaks are as yet beyond their power."” .
