A Gateway for Billions! AN you imagine enough one dollar bills placed end to end to form a ribbon of money that would reach to the moon and back and nearly twice around this earth besides—in other words, about 520,000 miles? Some string of money, eh? To be exact, $4,465,675,771! This sum meas- ures the aggregate value of the imports and exports through the port of New York alone for the last fiscal year. It was greater than this for the two years preceding; it is going to be greater, much greater, in the years to come. Because the port of New York is destined to be the greatest gateway of commerce in the world’s history, vast plans for its development are now under way. What these plans are and what this huge public enterprise means to the progress and prosperity of the whole country is vividly described by Gen. George W. Goethals in Leslie’s Weekly for April 29. General Goethals, as you know, is the man who built the Panama Canal; as con- sulting engineer of the Port of New York Authority he will have a great deal to do with building the new commercial portal of the nation. The April 29 issue of Leslie’s Weekly contains other notable articles. Leslie D. Bissell tells you new and interesting facts about the world-famous Passion Play at Oberammergau, which will be given this year for the first time since before the Great War. More amazing revelations about the operations of stock swindlers are made by Theodore Waters in another installment of his series on “Brokers and Breakers.” Another enthralling story of the adventures of the Black Pearl is contributed by Atreus von Schrader. And then there is “White Smoke.” The title sounds innocent enough but when you have read it you will admit that Harry A. Mount has given you an unforgetable peep into the very dregs of life among the “bench warmers” of a great city. Those are only a few of the features. There is the new Radio Department conducted by William H. Easton, Ph.D., wlio tells many things of decided interest to radio fans throughout the country. There is the Investment Bureau, conducted, by Theodore Williams and filled each week with-sound, conservative financial advice and information. There are the brisk, force- ful editorials by Samuel Hopkins Adams. Also, plenty of bully, diversified pictures of people and events at home and abroad.
