no RACE ISSUE N II

twill be exceedingly unfortunate if the &C
ton of the liquor license commissioners in deny
ing the applications of two Japanese firms fol
wholesale licenses continues to be made mat
ter Of race issue by portion of the japanese
press
As isclearly shown today in statement from
the chairman Of the license commission, Mr. Al
II Castle, the boards action cannot possibly be
construed as evidence of opposition to any Jap
: anese business or businessmen. The board as
early as last June decided that Honolulu has
enough wholesale liquor houses At that time
the application Of the two japanese firms had
not been filed, though that Of the predecessor Of
one Of them had been properly rejected The ap-
plication of the firm of Americans hadAbeen filed
two months before, and, moreover, it is for a
wholesale house outside of Honolulu. Hence the
resolution of the board did not apply to this re-
quest
The boards decision against any more whole.
sale houses in Honolulu at this time applies
alike to American and Japanese applicants
and to applicants Of any other nationality This
decision has nothing to do with race color, class
or condition. It was arrived at in the interests
Of the people Of this city, and the board should
stand BY it in spirit and letter
For the Japanese papers to intimate that the
Nipponese community viii not take part in the
MidWinter Carnival because applications for
liquor licenses have been rejected is stand by
which little sympathy will be gained. 1t is
straining the point The license commission has
manifestly endeayored to be fair, and the present
besrd is carrying out the policy Of the previous
board, a policy Of restriction which has been
plainly apparent for. at least two years By no
possible logic can the action Of the board be IN
terprefed as a slap at the Japanese business
commonly.
We believe that with = little further inyesti1
cation Of the circumstances, the Japanese edi-
tors viii reach this same conclusion

That is correct, and it is point that should

definitely made, they have not been given to the
public, they have not-except in brief and unsub-
