Toward BETTER UNDERSTANDING.

In the free and frank interchange of ideas at
the Chamber of Commerce dinner last night,
definite steps were taken toward better under
standing of Hawaii's problems on the part Of
the men who legislate for the Union of which
Hawaii is an integral part.
Even in the occasional criticisms voiced, the
note of frank comment was more, important
than the difference of opinion. 1t proved that
there is open mindedness upon which new ideas
can be erected as Hawaii's industrial cause is
developed more fully.
Governor Pinkham referred to the oppor-
unity for Hawaii to present its case. As a
matter of fact the people of the territory have
been at loss how this case should be sub
nitted to those in control at Washington. 1t
seemed almost impossible for Congress to gain
ANYTHING like thorough conception of

AMERICAN RELIEF WORK IN THE
WAR-ZONE.

Americans throughout the warZOne are on
orrands OF succor and mercy. The dauntIeSS
physicians and nurses battling against ep-
denies in Serbia have won the admiration OF
the belligerents and of the non coIrSatants. IN
the western war-arena an Associated Press cor
respondent says that no ambulance corps at the
front is attracting more attention than the
American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps
under the leadership of Richard Norton Re
Gently, the British Red Cross, with which the
corps is affiliated ordered it to return for ser
vice with the British forces from the second
French army with which it had been operating
since it reached French soil. But in the mean
time the whole ambulance organization of the
Second French army had been based on the
American corps and the French medical depart
ment objected strongly to giving it up. The
result has been compromise whereby the
corps will be enlarged to work with both
armies.
The corps consists entirely of volunteer
workers, who not only give their own services
but provide automobiles as we'll. Both have
distinctly made good, the French authorities
having paid the warmest tributes to the eff
cheney of the workers and their ears. The
with American cars proving the favorites as
their clearance gives them distinct advantage
in traversing the rough battle fields and
wrecked roads Among, these cars the, small
American types have rendered extremely use
full service by providing what might be termed
the light cavalry Of the Ambulance 'servite.
While not being able to carry a heavy load,
these small cars bring the wounded from the
fields where the big ambulances cannot venture.
One ambulance of the corps carries "a steam
heating plant and tubs for supplying the
wounded with hot baths The corps has placed
this work in charge of A. e. Kemp.of Paris and
it has proven so successful that he is appealing
for funds to increase the number of cars equip
ped with this apparatus. Inspector General
Dziewonski of the sanitary department of the
Second Army. has written to Mr.. Kemp thank
ing him for the tubs which have been success

UNFORTUNATE IN HIS TERMS.

With much of Governor Pinkhams address
lat the Chamber of Commerce last night no one
Twill differ. He said many true things and APP
'propriate things.
With his criticism of Hawaii's corporation
Jaw, particularly with his choice of terms there
Hwill be instant and general difference One
Paragraph summarizes his view:
Hawaii has been SO prosperous 1t has been reck
less and its financial men have operated under the
rottenest capitalization law extant That law is
mandatory in that bonds issued must not exceed in
amount capital stock issued and outstanding, thus
giving an inference the public is being protected
when the reverse is the case. There is no stipular
ton the stock issued shall have value for by manipu
ation II may be wholly wind water, or both"
Hearing this or reading it, one unfamiliar
with Hawaii conditions would be almost GER
tain to gather that the governor sweepingly
|condemned Hawaii's corporations. Whether
|IOr not he meant to do so, that is the tenor of
his remarks
1t is true that there have been isolated and
occasional instances of reckless capitalization.
That happens in every state in the union and
under every law that Legislators have devised
1t is not true that Hawaii's corporations are
nrotten" or that as a whole they have operated
fottenly under the law The corporations of
these islands are notably conservative and
prudent s~~ .....
When exceptions to this rule have occurred,
the financial penalty has followed, as well as
the penalty of condemnation on the part of the
public. -... ....=@.
That Hawaii's stocks and other securities
are not generally inflated or yalueless is suffi-
GENTLY proved by the fact that territorial and
mainland banks and fduciary institutions read
ily accept the stocks and bonds on the advice
Of trusted experts. Here again there are ex-
ceptions which prove the rule
The governor was thoroughly unfortunate in
bis choice of the term rotten The law may
be loose. But it has not been SO exploited as to
Justify these remarks.
The governor. hast night .said he had hoped
the recent legislature would abolish this law.
"A few moments afterward he paid a high
tribute to the wisdom, harmony, discretion and
obility of the 1915 law-making body. He de-
Jared it helped to enact 81 the most efficient
egislation.v
1t is perfectly fair to assume that this able
and energetic Legislature did not agree With
the governor that the corporation law was SO
rotten" it should be abolished.

UPHOLDS HONOR OF YALE
Professor Scott Nearing at U. of P.
Discredits Authors Charges.

The wickedness of Yale as described in
the book of F. G, Gundelfnger, former
instructor in mathematics there, has no
counterpart at the University of Penn
sylvania, in the opinion of Prof. Scott
Tearing. Professor Nearing also finds 1t
difficult to believe the charges against
Yale made by Gundelfnger.
"If you so to the right place for It,"
said Professor Nearing today "you al
ways will find some people doing things
they should not do. My personal opinion
of Yale men is that they are rather fine
characters These attacks happen every
once in n while. About 10 years ago a
man published a book attacking all the
colleges"
Gundelfngers volume is entitled Ten
Years at Yale" If, what he says is true
he might have called it "Ten Years in a
Barroom." He accuses Yale students of
being drunk and disorderly much of the
time, and says the professors who make
money ''on the side" as tutors give the
examination questions to listless students
to swell the graduating classes.
