PROMOTES PEACE

San Francisco-In an address to the
Labor Council, Louis F. Post, assist
ant secretary of the federal depart
ment of labor, said congress should
appropriate sufficient funds for the
department of labor to carry on its
work of promoting industrial peace
and developing opportunities for wage
workers to work out their own prob
lens.
The speaker praised the work being
done by Secretary Wilson of this de-
partment.

D EPORTS regarding the administrations pro-
~ gram towards sugar agree on one point that
the necessity of raising revenue makes the mposi-
ton OF ataX on sugar imperative. But the reports
differ radically as to the nature of the tax to be
imposed, and unfortunately for Hawaii the great
est credence appears to be due the idea that it is
internal revenue tax and not an import duty
which the administration has in mind. Apparent
ly, President Wilson and his advisers believe that
it is more necessary that they Save their face"
than do justce to the home sugar industry.
The placing of an internal revenue tax upon
sugar will meet the demand for revenue, but it will
effectually wipe Cut the greater part of the beet
and cane sugar production of the nation 1t will
increase the cost of sugar to the amount of the
tax, but will leave the way open for unlimited
competition between foreign sugar and that DOM
este grown.
1t is stated that authoritative information has
reached Hawaii that this is to be the plan for
submission before congress. If the report be as
true as it seems, it means free sugar on and after

Sufft RHO on Submarines

TN view Of the fact that perhaps nine-tenths of
i the members of congress have made up their
minds that wholesale submarine construction is
the solution of the problem OF national defense
and in view of the further fact that there is going
to be a regular submarine brainstOrm onItthe
boards in Washington when congress reconvenes,
it becomes interesting, says the Tacoma Ledger,
to know that the navy department has run ohock
up against mighty big obstacle in the develop
ment of the submarine program and that is in
reference to safeguarding the health OF the men
who will constitute the personnel OF the under
water boats. .
Naval surgeons.have had their attention attract
ed to the problem and thorough inquiry has been
instituted, designed to establish the of the
unfortunate conditions and the remedies that may
be brought to apply. Thus far, it must be admit
ted, the inquiry has been buster with the causes
than with the remedies. 1t has demonstrated the
fact that the most common ailments OF which the
men are subject are tonsilitis, rheumatism and
gasoline poisoning. Despite the hardships to
which the men are subjected and the temptation
occasionally to escape them, maingerng practical
ly is unknown among them.
When the boat is submerged the interior, espe4
cially in northern waters frequently becomes Bit
ter cold The steel sides of the ship conduct the
heat radiated from the bodies of the to the
surrounding waters. 1t is impossible to dress
warmly enough to overcome the effects of this
radiation. The only heat in the boats is from the
electric stoves and from the energy given off as
heat from the engines and motors, and frequently
it is impossible to spare enough power to run the
electric heaters. In of the boats, in those
of the ID" and "E" classes, there is cork
sheathng, the sides often covered with con-
densation and the humidity is raised to a high
point creating damp cold, which cuts to the bone.
When the clothes of the men become damp or wet
there is method of drying them. All this tends
to lower the hody's resistance and, coupled with
the effects Of relatively impure air. is particularly
conducive to the propagation of pulmonary disease.
When the boats are under way the men seek
the deck for fresh air, but there is deck shelter
and they are constantly exposed to wind and
water The treatment aboard submarines OF the
sick is regarded by the investigating surgeons as
out of the question. They must be removed TO
hospitals at once, the facilities for caring for
them on the ship are deplorably inadequate. The
report the subject is not ready, but the inquiry
is considered highly important one and will fur
nish clear insight into the dangers and discom-
forts which the designers of the new American u
boats are expected to obviate.

The Platsburg eucamPment, says Mayor Mitchell,
has taught 1900 Of the representative men Of the
nation the futiIty Of relying volunteer armies in
case Of need. We know, in a way that arguments
can never bring home, that soldier, much less
officer, cannot be made in n few weeks of training,
y and that it would be a crime against our people,
amounting to nothing less than national suicide, to
send into the field armies manned and Offered by

These are lessons taught by Plattsburo, lessons
which this nation must learn and take TO heart If it
would preserve its free institutions and maintain its
position with dignity and independence among the
. nations of the world The Plattsburg camp must be
followed by others of its kind pending the adoption
by the National Government of full and adequate
measures of national preparedness.
The Plattsburg encampmeht was thorough
cess, and the spirit brought to the work by the
bers of the provisional regiment inspiration.
The discipline strict, the work hard and the
suits achieved remarkable, considering the brief pc
riod Of training.
:. The regular army officers assigned to duty in the
camp did splendid piece of work and deserve great
credit. Their patience inexhaustibe, their
thusiasm un0uned and their courtesy, while exact

The opinion of Mayor Mitchell as above ex
pressed is il Iced worthy OF man holding the
high position in public life that he does, and it is
to be hoped that those who attend the proposed

the same spirit as those attending the Plattsbure

The Age Of Miracles

UMAN speech heard around a fourth OF the
worlds circumference, from Arlington to
Pearl Harbor, is miracle of accomplishment
whose true significance is difficult to grasp. With
no knowledge of the men who have done this or
the instruments they have perfected and the forces
they have summoned, it can yet be humbly as
sumed that new epoch has been reached in which
Life and Society will admit realities the marves
we have been taught to look forward to by the
men of vision.

test of last night could not have been felt in Ar
hngton, speaking words into the dark, as it was
felt in Honolulu, where they so wonderfully

great advance of aerial communication. The Ad-
Vertiser published the first message by wireless
between San Francisco and Hawaii and it publish

by that medium, first by night and then day ser
vice. Just as this morning it publishes the first
spoken words with Arlington, so it has first pub
lehed the first Wirelss message direct from Airing
ton here, feat then unsurpassed.
Later as the web Of aerial communicates was
spread about the world it published the first formal
messages between Hawaii and Japan. AS outpost

But surprising them all in its significance, in it's
imagery, and above all, in its promise, the human
voice that came from Arlington to Pearl Harbor
last night is a strange climax that binds Honolulu
more closely than to the scientific progress
leading to social conditions we do not yet clear
ly foresee.

Governor Pinkham believes that there are too
many holidays in the territorial public schools. He
might have gone farther and declared that there
are altogether too many holidays in the Territory
and too many leaves of absence for territorial and
municipal officials. We notice. for instance, that
the Hawaiian band is about to start its regular
annual months lay-of. Just why the musicians
should be given one-twelfth Of the year to rest
under salary is hard for the ordinary man to see.
Of course musicians are highly-strung, sensitive
folks, but it never struck us that the band boys
were either evidencing nervousness or showing
signs of overwork In the matter Of holidays, Ha-
wall ought to decide whether il is going to hold to
the old ante annexation schedule of Hawaiian
dates, or the existing American holidays. Observ-
ling both sets IS giving the business community
too much Of good thing.
