WHAT IS NEEDED.

A lengthy statement has been
published in connection with the
strike situation that purports to be
the views OF leading planter.
This statement may be we'll in
tcntiOned, but IL is valucless In its
influence on the community, be-
cause II has nothing more authorita-
tive behind It than some impersonal
planter who may know what he Is
talking about or may not, or in the
esteem of the average readers It may
not be a planter talking, anyway.
What will help the community
more than anything else at the pres
ent time is terse, pointed statement
by the President of the Planters As
ISOLATION or any member who may
be Intimately connected with the
strike situation.
This statement should clearly put
before the people of the islands the
facts in regard to wages and also
whether the planters in so far as
they are able intend to stand out
as a unit against the conduct of the
sugar industry by agitators in Homo
lulu.
II should not require two columns
of reading matter for any member
of the Planters Association to put
the situation before the people In
pointcdly convincing style. And a
declaration of this character will dc
more to unity the sentiment of al
classes, and properly inform the mis-
guided Japanese laborers than any
thing that has been offered up to the
present date.

The EVA STRIKE.

Eva plantation japanese appear
to have taken a middle-of-the- road
policy on the strike question.
The announced readiness OF the
laborers to return to work on Mon
day, after they have presented their
demands, and keep the plantation
work moving while the management
IL reaching decision indicates that
the agitators have lost ground at
Eva and have not gained the conf
dence Of the laborers by their inn
perious handling of the strikes on
Honolulu and Oahu plantations.
On the other hand, the fact that
the men have gone out for two days
shows the effect of the long cam
paign Of misrepresentation and
should impress the plantation inter,
ests with the necessity of a firm
stand against any and eevrythini
that has any direct relation to tho
agitators, or smacks of their meth

The Eva japanese have shown
somewhat decent regard for theil
employers and the great loss tina
