AN ARGUMENT FALSIFIED

Piling up armament bills in staggering guam
titles ministers and cabinets of Europe have put
forward the invariable cry, military prepared
ness is the best guarantee against war"
With this to placate the people who paid the
bills, France, Germany, Russia, England and
Austria have gone on charging armies and
navies, putting uncounted millions into forts and
eeascoast defenses, guns and ammunition, aero
plane fleets and naval bases around the world
1--WE are not making ready for war-we are
taking the surest means of preventing war;"
.1outed the archpriests of militarism.
And vet when Austria and Servia engaged in
1ontroversy, did all this gigantic structure of
military preparedness operate to block gen
tlal war? Not at ALL Precisely the contrary,
Is fact Every minister and general, every
1rchduke and chancellor, every admiral and cap
tain Of phalanx chorused in unison, 'sWe have
seen this war coming for four decades and are
ready for itr' And because the European
bowers had been trebling armies and quadru-
bling nayies, they were ready at once to take
the field against each other. Their military pre-
naredness was not check against war but an
Incentive to war.
And the time-honored argument of the apos-
Ties of militarism crumbled-crumbled at the
first under-growlings of European conflict.
What travesty on craftsmanship this policy
Of European militarism is now revealed

JUSTICE FOR JACK pEsAA.

August II. 1914
Editor Honolulu Star-BulIetin.
Sir:
| sent the following communication
to the Pacific Commercial Advertiser
on Saturday morning with reference
to statement in an editorial refiec-
ting on Mr.. J. r. Desha, the delegates
secretary. Apparently that paper does
not care to publish it.
Would you kindly find space for il in
the Star-Bulletin; for think YOU
would be willing to do justice to a de-
serving young man.
Very truly yours,
D. l.. WILMINGTON
The communication referred to by
Mr.. Wilmington is as follows:
Editor Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
have never believed that the poll
teal interests of GSyone we're ad-
vanced or injured by campaign of
Misrepresentation and abuse, but it
does give me pain to see newspaper
which has had the standing of the
Pacific Commercial Advertiser in this
community misrepresenting the work
of young native Hawaiian whose
family have struggled to give him as
good an education as this country af-
fords and who is occupying a position
where his standing at home is impor-
tant for the success of his efforts.
Between the LIST of May and the 18th
of July was in Washington six times,
and from the 10Th of June was almost
continually there, and was at the Of
fee of the delegate nearly every day
and found Mr.. fDasha attentive to his
duties, efficient and well thought Of
i esteemed us fortunate to have Mr..
Mcclellan secretary to the delegate,
but in some respects Mr.. Desha has
proved more valuable During the
time / was in Washington he was alb
sent one day en- account of sickness,
end one day the office was occupied by
the force in the adjoining Office who
had special work to do. With the ex-
cepticn Of the occasions when the

was visiting the departments or wait.

SPEAKING OF THE CARNIVAL.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: am glad to see the decided
stand the people of This city arc TAX
ing in regard to holding the carnival
next February (and every succeeding
February. There is a lot of this bril-
liant farsightedness floating around.
and it comes TO the surface once in u
while
Honolulu does not want to fool her
self in this matter. II, by any possible
"fluke" II should. be decided not to
hold the carnival next year We may as
we'll make up our minds that it has
been abandoned for all time. This
would certainly be an inglorious con-
clusion for Hawaii. r ~.
Are we going to acknowledge that
all this enthusiasm OF ours about the
carnival stunt has been merely an in
ilated cheer, and that possibly because
there may be a deficit OF few cents
after the affair is all over for the
year we are to throw up the whole
thing and to announce that we will
not indulge in this carnival fun unless
there is money in it?
We may not make the announce
ment to that effect in the same clar'
ion tones that we announce this to be
the Paradise of the Pacific" but it
will mean the same, and the many on
the mainland who read OF the decision
to postpone the carnival will have but
little difficulty in understanding that
such is the exact import of our action.
Our reputation for doing things that
are worth while is too closely bound
up in this annual carnival to think for
a moment of abandoning It. II it is to
be put off on the year that it should
be made to shine the brightest, let's
go down to the wharf and jump off
the end and say, here goes nothing

THE NEW SHIP REGISTRY
BILL

Under the broad terms of the bill passing
through Congress to put foreign ships under
american registry, any fOreign-built ship may
come under the American flag provided it is
American-Owned.
The house bill ndorsed by the senate yester
day was drafted in the White House after the
president and Democratic Leader Underwood
had discussed the situation. 1t is known as
the Underwood Merchant Marine Relief bill and
is as follows:
"Be II enacted by the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatYes Of the United States Of America In Con-
gress assembled that the words not more than hVe
years old the time they apply for registry in sec
ton the entitled An Act to provide for the
opening main tenance, protection and operation OF
the Panama canal and the sanitation and govern
ment OF the Canal Zone, are hereby repealed
Sec @ That the President Of the United
States is hereby authorized, whenever in bis dscre-
ton the needs OF foreign commerce may require to
suspend by order, so far as he may deem desirable
the provisions OF the law prescribing that all the
watch officers CT vessels the United States regis
tered for foreign trade shall be citizens Of the United
states.
"Under like conditions in like manner anc to
like extent the President Of the United States also
hereby authorized to suspend the provisions Of law
requiring survey inspection and measurement by Of
hcers Of the United States OF foreign built vessels
admitted to American register under this act
Sec. g. This act shall take effect Immediately
According to recent dispatches, the movement
to restrict the scope of the bill has not succeeded.
All restrictions on registry are removed except
that which provides that ships thus admitted
must be owned by American citizens or Ameri-
can corporations.
Change of registry, it should be noticed, must
be accompanied by an actual change of hands
and bona fide sale Unless there is bona fide
change in ownership, international law would
not observe the neutrality and immunity from
seizure of any vessel that ran to the masthead
the American flag merely to save her from mo-
|estation by hostile warship.

WAR AND AMERICAN

Among the really tremendous opportunities

other countries is that of South American finan-

EDITOR

of f. n. Hurley, President of the Illinois Manu-
factuTers' Association, who has submitted to
the Department of Commerce a report on bank
ing and credit i'm South America, based upon a
careful investigation of that field. Mr. Hurley
was assigned to this special task by Secretary
Redfeld, who is making a strenuous effort TO in
crease the sale of American products in South
America and was instrumental in securing an
appropriation from Congress for this particular
purpose.
Foreign and native banking houses reason
ably well accommodate the ordinary routine Of
American trade, Mr. Hurley states, hut they
naturally withhold the full measure of interest
and solicitous support accorded to enterprises
of their own nationality. Moreover, many valu-
able collateral benefits arising from the tinanc-
ing of oversee trade are lost through American
reliance upon London banking mediation, while
the compulsory use of European materials in
many South American enterprises financed in
Europe is steadily restricting the potential mar
ket for American goods. American statesmen
and trading houses also lack the support given
by foreign banks to their national trade seekers.
German trade has been extended largely by
the aid of longer credits than are granted by
other countries, and German banks have been
more minute in their organizations of this ser
vice. AS South American countries are being
developed largely with funds from European
countries, information as to the character and
standing of persons back of the various enter
prises is the first need of those whom they ap-
proach abroad; hence foreign banks have be-
come channels through which investments are
made in railways, light and power companies
etc Without the detailed information that thu
foreign banks possess or can obtain of these
projects, the development OF South
America would not proceed SO rapidly.
Foreign investments in South America may
be divided into loans to governments aud loans
fer industrial purposes. South American gov
ernment bonds are largely held in Europe and
the fiscal policy of these countries is materially
affected by the attitude of European bankers.
Government ownership of utilities is extensive
and loans for municipal improvements are nu-
nterous This not only assures the European
investor his interest but also extends the mar
ket for imported materials. In recent wears the
practice of STIMULATING the use of materials from
countries loaning the money for railways. port
works, ETC., has increased, and this operates to
restrict the field for American manufacturers,
since American capital does not largely enter
the South American field.
