Excerpt from The Plan of the Port Authority of New York for Future Port Development: Public Opinion Upon Its Adoption as Expressed by Commercial and Civic Organizations and the Press Together With a Few Facts Regarding the World's Greatest Port; January 1922
The suggestion that either plan is necessary because of the dwindling trade of New York is mistaken. It is true that there has becua great decline of foreign trade through New York in both directions; but that is not peculiar to New York. Collector of the Port Aldridge has analyzed the loss of New York in connection with the loss of the country, and shows that the relative volume of business at New York for the first nine months of 1921, as compared with the entire country, has been maintained with a remarkable degree of uniformity. The plan of the Port Authority is not one designed to benefit New York at the expense of other ports, and in particular is not motived by any anxiety at the loss of its share. New York is doing very well, and wishes to do better only as it serves the nation better.
