GETTING SOME SENSE.

Some of the members of the San
Francisco commercial organizations
are taking practical view of Jap
anese competition. Members of a
sub. committee quickly reached the
conclusions that japanese were fur
nishing good articles cheap, that
consumers would have them and
that it was useless to quarrel with
this situation. Two relief sugges-
tons were offered. The first was
that American production be cheap
ened. The second was that dis
elimination be made against Japan
csc goods at the custom houses.
There was strong and sensible ar
gument to both propositions. The
fact was brought out that American
factories were extravagantly con-
Quoted. 1t was further adduced
that years must elapse before some
of the articles could be brought
forth in the United States. An
other conclusion was that Japan
would have something to say when
tariff revision was undertaken
1t must be clear to all in Hawaii,
that there are others" in this con-
nection. The fact that the Islands
do not manufacture goods generally
somewhat simplifes the local situa-
tion
