REPUBLICANS IN
HOUSE Gan VOTE
ON LIQUOR Bills
Platform Doesn't Prevent Their
Supporting Measures, Says
Party Chairman Andrews

Chairman Lorrin Andrews of the
Republican Territorial Central Com
mittee branded the report that the Re-
publican members of the Legislature
are enjoined by the party platform
from voting for three anti-liquor bills
as all piifle.
The platform doesn't enjoin the
members from voting on these bills,
the chairman declared today. '.inas-
much as the platform provides that
in q general way the party approves
the present system of regulation OF
the liquor traffic and any minor
changes in the system are optional
with the individual legislators. The
party has nothing to do with them. :
The bills were introduced by Rep
resentatives Lota and vieira and aim
to destroy the treating habit, to pre-
vent location OF saloons near churches
and schools and to curb the activities
OF the wholesale liquor dealers. Not
withstanding Andrews opinion, the
old-til6e Republicans in the house still
assert that the party platform enioins
the Republican members Of the legis-
lafnre from voting for the bills.

CONSERVATIVE
CHINESE DECRY
YOUNGER PARTY
Agitation Against Japan BY
United Society Called Preina-
ture BY Older Newspaper

That the fervent oratofy OF the
voung Chinese in Honolulu is like a
firecracIer and that the counsel OF
the Hawaiian-b0rn Chinese is as ef.
fectual In the Japan China trouble as
the play. of children in the sand, is
the opinion of Sun Chung Kwock Bo,
the local conservative Chinese news
paner.
The agitation against Japan being
worked up by the. younger generation
of Chinese is premature, thinks this
paper. It also states that most OF
the orators never saw China and know
little or nothing or actual conditions
there.
Tonight the Chinese community viii
hold a meeting at the rooms of the
United Society on King street. The
wisdom OF definite action in raising
money for a campaign of resistance
viii be discussed.
In answer to the statements made
to the Star-Bulletin by H. /. Nj. Consul
Arita Of Japan yesterday to the effect
Japan seeks only the preservation OF
the Chinese integrity and that the Chi
aese should be careful of their actions,
Wu Wing Sun, editor or the Liberty
News, said: =
"The Chinese of Honolulu have been
anxious concerning affairs in China.
and when the demands of Japan be-
came known, though only in part, we
called meetings to discuss national de,
tense
Japan and China both claim tc
want peace in the Orient, but if even
1 small per cent of the cable reports
ire to be believed the definition of the
word peace will have to be changed
to be consistent with the Japanese de
mands.
There is no intention on the part
Of local Chinese TO declare a general
boycott on Japanese goods. That
is a matter OF individual business.

: WASHINGTON, D. O., Mar.
16 The most emphatic pro-
test yet lodged by America
with the belligerents is likely
to be one result of the an
1ouncement in London yester-
day of the new plan to sever
completely Germany's foreign
trade.
This plan, which includes the
OBTAINING Of ships bound to or
from Germany and the conis-
cation Of all goods to or from
German ports, IS regarded as q
serious menace to the rights Of
neutral commerce.
The president has indicated
that the unofficial outline Of
the new British policy regard
ing German trade is displeas-
ing he refuses to discuss the
matter definitely in the absence
of the official text Of the Brit
ish order.
It is officially indicated that
America will lodge q protest
with Britain in more serious
terms than any she has hither-
to employed. The United
States, it is intimated, will re-
quire some positive terms in
reference to the treatment to
be accorded neutral commerce.
The British order raises new
and embarrassing complica-
tions.
