even though the ostensible reason Of
their being here has it's foundation in
the necessity for mainland protection
The Friend says: "Robberies are
very few here, ETC." There's a rea-
son. The geographical location OF
this city and Territory and the lack
of bridges to the mainland have con-
siderable to do with the lack of a
great spread of crime. The fact that
crime hasn't yet made any great
progress here is no good reason for a
lax or insufficient police force. Isn't
it easier to prevent than cure?
The Friend says: AN ex-soldier
regime, which means malihini rule, is
exactly what Honolulu does not
want" Why? That Honolulu needs
that kind of a regime can not be gain
said That Honolulu does not want
it may be explained by the fact that
an eX-soldier police force would be
disciplined in such a way that there
would be no special privilege rule. To
an eX-soldier policeman all men would
be considered equal, whether in the
breaking of laws or in the keeping of
them.
The Friend says: IF our city is
actually threatened with the calamity
of military dominance" Calamity to
what? It's a certainty that it is no
calamity to spend huge sums here for
fertilization, a naval base where hun
dreds of men will be employed, perma-
nent improvements that will material
ly benefit the looks and stimulate the
business life of the city, etc, etc. 1t
lis no calamity to purchase hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of food
supplies in Honolulu stores, or to let
big contracts locally for building pur
poses. So the calamity must be Of
mental stress, Ell? Well, one wouldn't
dare tell Manila that her being domi-
mated by the military was calamity.
There would be bodily hurt. One
wouldn't dare tell Malta, Havana, the
Canal Zone, ETC., that military domin-
ance was calamity. They don't
think so. For it has always been con-
sidered that military. domination was
safe, sane and equable.
With due respect to the writer in
The Friend, l don't believe that he is
unbiased enough to consider the
proposition carefully. There may be
strong reasons for the wanting to
keep Hawaiians on the police force,
but it must be admitted that they are
decidedly more valuable in other and
less strenuous vocations.
AS l have said before, progress has
decided great things for Honolulu and
the decision was good. Honolulu may
feel that the old indolent, happy-gO-
lucky, church-controlled days were
best-perhaps they were-but it's
more true that those days are rapidly
passing away and that, with progress,
Honolulu is striding forward to bet
ter things,-even if against her will

SHORT
IN SUGAR SUPPLY

Consul General John L. Griflths at
London writes:
The sugar shortage and the ques-
ton of the supply from Russia was
debated in the house of commons the
first week of December, before the
meeting of the International Sugar
Convention on December g.
Twelve months ago the wholesale
price of sugar in England was $2.1S
per hundredweight Q12 pounds). 1t
has increased to $425 per hundred
weight, being an increase of nearly 3
cents per pound.
1t has been intimated that if Rus
STA is not allowed to send larger
supply this year out of it's accumulated
stock, Great Britain may withdraw
from the sugar convention, consisting
of 10 European powers. Under the
rules of the convention Russia is not
permitted to send more than 100000
tons of sugar westward in any given
year. BY far the greater portion of
the westward shipments go to Great
Britain. In consequence of the dry
summer, there was a great shortage
in the Continental crop this year.
In the London Daily Mail of No
vember %, 1911, it is stated that
Germany, which furnishes three-quar-
tiers of Great Britain's supply, had a
deficiency this year of 100000 tons
(ton equal 224O pounds. We must
have sugar from somewhere. Hence
the decision of the government that
Russia shall be allowed to send us
100000 tons more than usual. There
is reason to believe that the parties
to the convention are not unwilling
to allow this as a special arrangement
for an abnormal year"
Possible Effect Of Great Britain's
Withdrawal From the Convention
The possible effect of the with
drawal of Great Britain from the con-
vention upon British sugar refiners
and manufacturers is set forth in an
article in the Financial, Commercial,
and Shipping Supplement of the Lon
don Times of November "a, 1911, as
follows:
, If Great Britain withdraws from the
convention as suggested, there is lit
tie doubt that the effect of such with
drawal would be seriously felt by home
refiners and manufacturers. 1t is be-
lieved that by such action the colo
NAL trade would be seriously injured,
as it would be impossible for British
exporters to guarantee that they have
not used bounty-fed sugar. The effect
upon the confectionery trade might be
even more serious, as it can hardly
be expected that the other countries
in the convention would continue to
English exporters the advantages
they have hitherto enjoyed with re-
gard to trade with those countries in
the convention. 1t is not considered
likely that in the event of the with
drawal of Great Britain any of the
countries represented in the conven-
ton would revert to the old bounty
system, but they might grant some
advantage to their own growers which
would cause capital to be withheld
from the reviving cane-sugar industry.
The best way out of the present
impasse would be the reconstruction
of the convention on lines which made
recognition of the changed conditions
of the industry.
