CARTER and THE RR0BERs

Senator James A. Reed of Missouri upholds
the reputation of the ''show me- state in the
pages Of a highly interesting pamphlet that has
just come through the mails from Washington.
The official title of the pamphlet is Hearings
Before Subcommittee of the Committee on the
Judiciary United States Senate pursuant to
senate resolution 80, resolution instructing the
committee on the judiciary to investigate the
charge that lobby is maintained to influence
( legislation pending in the senate Unoffcially
this is one result of the "lobby probe commit
tees work, and it's 15D pages are devoted entirely
to the evidence before the committee given by
former Governor George II. Carter and Judge S.
M. Ballou.
The report is of a good deal of interest
throughout. 1t gives in detail the statements
made by Mr.. Carter and Mr.. Ballou and already
published at some length here.
The cable dispatches and coast newspaper
clippings do not give any indication, however,
of the minute questioning to which the local rep
! resentatiyes were put, the trouble that GER
tain Of the senator's seemed to have in under
standing why Hawaii undertook a campaign of
publicity in order to bring the facts of the sugar
industry before congress- Furthermore, even
patient and repeated explanations by Carter and
Ballou did not seem to enlighten the Democrats
as to industrial conditions in Hawaii. In fact,
the ignorance of conditions here is remarkable
and after reading the pamphlet, one is not at a
loss to understand how the Democratic senate
is going SO calmly about abolishing the tariff on
sugar. sss ~
Scores Of pages are devoted to questioning
Mr.. Carter on the activities OF the Domestic SUI
gar Producers Bureau and there are several
sharp interehanges between Carter and members

Senator Reed. He Is here?
Mr. Carter Yes
Senator Reed What is his name?
Mr. Carter. Kalanianaoe.
Senator Reed. So your people. the sugar interests

Mr.. Carter. Congress allows delegate and

Senator Reed And then you hire delegate OF

Senator Reed. Is that all he does?
Mr. Carter. Ordinarily, yes.
Senator Reed Do you know what Mr.. Ballous

Mr. Carter No think it is $4,000 a year I
will not be certain
Senator Reed. 1t is pretty expensive informa-
ton bureau?
Mr.. Carter. He was earning much more than that
at home.
Senator Reed Why did you find it necessary to
send man down here at salary of $4,000 year
who wassto dofnothing except to advise youswhen
some bill came up affecting your, interests?
Mr., Carter. Because we wanted intelligent ad-
vice.
Senator Reed. Was it to advise you of that fact,
before the legislature?

Senator Reed. Look after the legislation.
Mr. Carter In what way?
Senator Reed. Is he to advise members of con-
gress on matters of legislation?
Mr.. Carter. He has nothing to do with congress
men in that way, If you mean that--
Senator. Reed mean, do you expect this man
to your legislative representative here to not only
advise you when bill Is introduced that concerns
the interests of Hawaii but to either further that
BILL to advance it to oppose It. your sugar in
terests may deem best?
Mr. Carter We expect him to keep us advised
and to give the information, II he possesses It, at
once as to the situations to the facts.
Senator Reed. Is that all he Is to dc for $4,000
year?
Mr. Carter. Precisely, understand it. He
tell you best what he is to do and what his IN
structions are
Later, Senator Reed tried to make Mr. Carte
say that he had not tried fairly to get an inter
view with the president, and that the Hawaiia
representatives had not tried to get a hearin
with the subcommittee on finance. Mr.. Carte
declined to allow his words to be so interpreted
