had most interesting talk with |
a banker who knows Hawaii very well |
and who is to my mind a commanding /
figure in the finances of the West.
In his opinion the nation cannot afford !
to take the present tariff off sugar.
On the other hand he believes that a
great hullabaloo over the sugar tariff +
might force the schedule into such
that the Democrats will
simply be forced to stand by the free
sugar program. So Els idea is that Ha-
wall should lay low and let events of
worldwide sweep take their course.

is so filed with conservative optimism.
He is OF the type that builds, has con-

only In the foolish policy of forever
crying "Wolf, wolf" He admits that
business went further than it ought
to, for business is only another method
Of warfare, but he feels that there
should be an end of law making till
business can adjust itself and know
1t is obeying the law or not.
