Sans adherence to the Monroe doctrine He
said that many another statesman of the repub-
lies south of the Mexican line fear that the
Americans intend to grab territory where they
can.
In spite of the admittedly brilliant abilities of
Secretary of State Knox, he will leave office
with a very. unsatisfactory feeling existing
among the countries of South America This
feeling was epitomized by the Peruvian just
quoted when he declared, s'the United States is
sacrificing everything to dollar diplomacy, and
we all have the feeling that under the guise of
fostering commerce you are on the lookout for
new acquisitions ofterritory."

ALE TOGETHER /!

\ great deal too much fuss has been made
about alleged disagreement between Fort and
Eliishop street merchants over the plans for a
New Years Eve celebration. The Bishop street
merchants, being out Of the zone wherein hood
1lumism and OVERDOSE celebration sometimes in
terfere with Christmas Eve shopping, naturally
do not want to concentrate their energies on
stopping the present Christmas celebration and
promoting one a week latter. The Fort street
merchants are just as anxious to switch the ner,
Iylnaking dates.
However, the plans being worked out are mu-
|tually satisfactory and as the leaders of both
sections are bending their energies to the same
end that Of Stimulating legitimate business
the result will be an effective and good
arrangencnt wherein the general public profits
by getting two celebrations instead of one The
Bishopsstreet merchants will giyesa band con-
will promote holiday street carnival on Bishop
street. "a week later the Fort street merchants
will pull off the second celebration on Bishop
street
No businessman of acumen objects to filling
the streets with holiday crowds so long as the
crowds do not interfere with actual shoppers.
The plan now agreed upon seems to be an excel
lent one. The Christmas Eve celebration will
draw the merely curious spectators and non-buy-
ing crowd over to Bishop street, and Fort street
will have plenty of room and plenty of time to
sell its holiday wares. And on Bishop street
there Is room and to spare for half a dozen cele-
bfations without interfering with Christmas
shoppers
And the more merriment Honolulu can scare
up thebetter! One Of the signs of a live city is
hustle or the ana tie rue carnival spirit
is as effective in loosening the pursestrings as
any method yet devised.
