HAEAIPS FOREIGN TRADE

Among the compensations for the crisis in the
sugar industry now existing probably none is
more obvious than the expansion in the direct
foreign trade of Hawaii revealed in the official
statistics for the nine months ended March 81
last That this commerce should have increased
by more than one and one-quarter million dollars
in threequarters of year, with the ratio of ex
ports advanced 6323 per cent in excess of that
of imports, as the figures show, is surely an en-
couraging fact. Moreover, more than one mil
lion of the foreign imports are represented by
necessary supplies for the sugar industry-fer-
tlizeIs to enrich the soil and bags for marketing
the product these items from Chile and the East
Indies respectively being the third and fourth
largest in tile import table-a fact that makes
the general showing the more striking. 1t is a
position indicating that Hawaii's smaller indus
tries-canned pineapple, pineapple extract, cof-
fee and honey-are steadily finding an outlet in
world markets Rubber and tobacco give prom
Use of being added to the category. 1t seems a
pity that, with the suitability of Hawaiian soil
to the growing of fiber plants, the sugar industry
could not save the more than $500, 900 a year now
spent on sugar-bags.
There are some encouragingly suggestive ex-
hibits in the figures of Hawaii's direct foreign
trade for the period under review. OF the twelve
countries to which domestic merchandise was
shipped, only one shows decrease IN its pur-

CUBA IS JUBILANT

President Wilson'S attitude on the sugar tar
if question is greeted with sincere delight by the
Cuban planters. Why not? Cuba stands to be
the beneficiary direct of freetrade in this com
modify.
Writing to a friend in Hawaii, George Ross,
who has recently visited Cuba on a business
trip, says that the Cuban planters are jubiant,
feeling that free trade will cripple competition
on the part Of American producers Wilson is
playing into. Cuban hands at the expense of the
domestic producers is the way Mr.. Ross sums
up the situation, and it is a significantly apropos

during the moments proceeding the
imposition of the sentence.

tor that he would like to hear from
the representative of the territory
Breckons called to the attention OF
the court that on account of the great
publicity which the case had received,
the Judge was probably very well in
formed regarding it. He stated that
the entertainments had started IN
1907 and continued until 1912, most
of it being money taken from the
general fund which had been issued
as "pay of police" $50 far as punish
ment is concerned, thes territory has
nothing to say as that is matter
fully UP to the consideration OF the
court" was a concluding statement OF
Attorney Breckons.
Attorney Carlsmith arose and said,
the attorney for the territory has
fully set forth the facts of this case.
They are facts that would have been
brought out before jury. When I
took this case | was confronted with
a signed confession and preponder-
ance of evidence as to facts OF the
case, but felt that there were legal
points upon which to make defense.
But Mr. Mcguire consulted with
friends and decided to enter the plea
of guilty. 1t was not upon my ad-
vice. Like the territorial attorney l
feel that | have no right to make
recommendations to. the court as re-
CARDS sentence. That is matter that
is fully within the judgment of the
