THE GOOD oUTwzleHs THE BAD.

:
Al definitely encouraging outlook for national
business is seen by Henry Clews, the New York
banker whose periodical statements are close
w followed IN Hawaii. He thus discusses the
influences of the war situation in his latest
trade letter:
IF we were to balance the favorable and
nnfavorable conditions affecting business, we
should summarize them thus
Favorable Easy money, better political
outlook, good harvests, interstate decision,
heavy exports.
sstnfavorable War, economic strain, slack
trade, injured confidence, foreign liquidation.
ssThe balance between these factors is large
" IN favor of Improvement There is no ques-
tion Int that the year closes with tendency
toward reyiving confidence and increasing
activity. Depression is gradually fadifig.
Cheap money and low prices are powerful IN
centives to new enterprise. Our great corpora
tions, particularly the railroads, have pushed
economy to the point Of starvation. They must
soon enter the market as purchasers, if only
to replace annual wear and tear. In this they
will be assisted by the Rate Decision, which
though not entirely satisfactory, shows more
considerate spirit that must exert favorable
influence upon railroad credit. Quite num-
her of our industries are being stimulated by
foreign orders, chiefly for war material One
Of the most important effects of the war, SO
FAR as the United States is concerned, will be
the new opportunities it opens to us in foreign
markets. Our manufacturers are already
eagerly alert concerning these possibilities. In
south America and Asia the fields for Ameri-
can enterprises are enormous. The opportuni-

DO THEY RESENT THIS?


The Japanese businessmen who contributed
to the support of smooth countryman rep
resenting himself as here on secret mission,
having to do with plans of Notifications and
the like are hardly carrying out the profes-
sions of friendship generally heard in the Jap
anese community.
When permission was refused a japanese
aviator to make flights on Oahu, some of the
well-known Nipponese were deeply resentful
because, they asserted, the aviator and his
countrymen here in general were under base
less suspicion. Now that some members of the
japanese community have shown themselves
willing to contribute to help Spy" those
who were the first to resent the "baseless sus-
picion'' should say what they think of paying
money to one who passes himself off, in effect,
as an enemy of the United States.

DOES THE PUBLIC SENTIMENT OF
HONOLULU INDORSE THIS?

Burglary, hold-up men, thuggery, and the
sort of dangerous drunkenness that accom-
panies disorder, appear be on the increase in
Honolulu. Perhaps it is only because the bur-
glars and footpads are getting bolder At any
rate there is more criminality here than there
was a few years ago. And the police force
seems less able to cope with it.
Yet the community is permitting the worst
possible school for crime to grow and flourish
in its very midst.
The nameless and shameless district of
Iwile is doubling and redoubhng its sordid
population There within few steps of the
pineapple canneries, employing many girls and
boys, is center of vice and crime which ra-
dates poison throughout the city. Inevitably
such district breeds criminals. From the
unspeakable creatures who live off the earnings
of shame to the thug or the pickpocket who
gravitates to the vice district for security or
protection or to faunt his ill-gotten money, the
tainted atmosphere fosters lawless men and
lawless acts.
Yet within the last few months particular
ly within the last few weeks-the vice-breeding
population has grown enormously. By steamer
after steamer women from the coast cities have
come to Honolulu to ply their trade. Driven
from Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver, Portland,
San Francisco, they have come to Honolulu.
They bring their hangers-o the hyenas that
skulk around for evil pickings. They come to
cater to the lowest Of passions.
What does Honolulu think of it?
One hears the excuse of Indifference that
the social evil always has existed and always
will exist. One hears the excuse of expediency
that Oahu has a large soldier population and
therefore Honolulu must permit this district
to develop. One hears the superficial state
ment that the police won't do anything
about it.
OF course the police won't do anything about
it unless there is different sort Of public sen
timent from that which has shown itself. So
long as public sentiment viii tolerate Iwilei,
the police are not to be blamed for their atti-
tude, If citizens generally wink at vice and
lawlessness, what hope is there in police
crusader
The remarkable thing, the almost unbelieva-
Bile thing, about the situation today is that
Honolulu should allow this great expansion in
the vice district that Honolulu should permit
the rapid spreading of the evil cancer.
Does the public sentiment of this community
indorse the social evil
