OTE that when President Harding says “Hush!” to the Senate, lest it appear that ) “the executive branch of the Government, which is charged with the conduct of foreign relations, is not fully alive to a world situation which is of deep concern to the United States,” he is careful : to convey the impression that at any moment the a Administration may hatch out a foreign policy calculated to astonish mankind. bs This is but prudence and foresight. When Sen- ; ator Borah and public opinion pushed the project of an arms conference to the point where it was inevitable, President Harding and Secretary Hughes suddenly appeared on the front seat of the band wagon ready to take the reins and acknowl- edge the cheers. Something like that might happen again. In which case the Harding Administration must be prepared to show how secretly “alive” it has been all along to the “glorious opportunity of which circumstances at last permit us to take advan- tage.” ( There is a kind of leadership that consists of dodging through the bushes and jumping out at the head of the procession just as the music strikes up. That is the kind of leadership President Har- ding seems to find most congenial and exciting. “ College professors cannot spell, a publisher says. Is this a plan to supply the shortage of teachers from the surplus of stenographers? } , A WANAMAKER BRIDGE. - (7) ROVER WHALEN has shifted his proposed East River Bridge downtown. The latest plan is for a Manhattan terminal at Astor Place.

Wouldn’t Mayor Hylan object and damn the proposal by calling it a “Rockefeller Bridge?” The W halen shift of plans is sure to cause the “interests” to christen the pier the “Wanamaker Bridge” plan. But that objection is trifling compared with the great and valid objection to any bridge whatever. Until New York City has experimented with at least one vehicular tunnel under the East River there should be no further talk of a bridge. A tunnel is relacively inexpensive. Ifit is prac- tical to go under the Hudson it is practical to go under the East River. The tunnel adds to prop- erty values at either entrance. A bridge, on the contrary, cuts a great gash into the island, It destroys property values many times greater than those it creates. It obstructs forth and south traffic. Every argument favoring the subway in pref- erence to elevated railroads applies to the tunnel in preference to the bridge.
