Once in a while somebody gets the
idea that the reason the local paper
does not report every scandal that
comes to public knowledge is because
the publisher is afraid. That's not
the reason. The reputable newspaper

HARD FACTS-oPTIMIsM.

The t. S. Geological Survey deals Ill hard
facts-literaly and fguratively.
And here is what the director of the depart
ment saws of business conditions in an address
before the American Mining Congress:
''Evidence of business betterment is before
us on every hand, and the reasons for optimism
are many The United States farmer has har-
vested five billion dollar crop and there is a
high-priee market for all our surplus food
stuffs; already our grain is pouring across the
Atlantic. The millions of men who are fighting
are not working, and yet these hordes of sol
diers must be clothed and equipped as well as
fed. Foreign orders have started factory oper-
ations which at once tends to relieve the stag
nation in the STEAMBOAT trade, the steel situa-
ton has turned from serious depression to rapid
Improvement, and the whole mineral industry
,fnay soon expect to share in this general bust
ness Improvement
.'Today the financial horizon is SO nearly
cloudless that the prophets of bad weather have
little upon which to base their predictions. The
new federal banking system makes the money
reserves mobile as never before, and extension
of credit is now possible, without the veto
power remaining in the hands Of a small group
of big men. Still another reason for belief in
business betterment is the recognition, now be-
coming widespread,of the general interdepend-
ence Of big business and the general public. On
the one side, the people are realizing that they
are and have been ID reality the Silent partner
in big business, and now that there has come
the promise Of some regulation that will in
large part prevent monopoistic Capitalization,
the people are interested in getting their share
of returns that can come only with operation
at profit. On the other hand, the managers
of the large corporations, the trustees of the in
vesting public, are filming to see that GER
tain financial security goes with public conf
dence and that the attitude to the public SO
tersely expressed 80 years ago by a pioneer in
railroad financing does not pay dividends

SELLING MUNITIONS OF WAR.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-The strietness with which we,
that is, the mainland, buckles on her
laccoutrements of neutrality in this
great world struggle is a feature to
be proud of by every American citi-
zen, and our, that is, the mainland's
business acumen is worthy of all
praise when this war in Europe is
looked at from a purely business
standpoint. We, that is, the mainland
is handing out millions of dollars
worth of ammunition to 'all concern

share. OF course we, that is, the
mainland, are not actually putting this
ammunition right on board the fight
ing ships and in the blood-soaked
fields, but it seems to be reaching the
right spot" through neutral countries
of which there are still few left in
the Old World. =.

EDITOR
GUssIEGARDNERIsM.

John O'Keefe. the gifted Irishman who
writes for the New York World editorial page,
has coined new phrase, "gussiegardnering"
This refers to the activities of Congressman
August Gardner who conjured up a japanese
spectre yesterday in Congress and trotted it
out before his presumably startled and i'm
pressed hearers.
Suppose the japanese do approach US some
day with a demand for equal treatment. What
are we going to dol" shouted Gardner.
What men of common sense would de-what
the United States will do if the jingoes don't
get into power-is to handle the delicate prob
lens of Oriental relations so effectively that
Japan would never need to come to Uncle Sam
"with a demand for equal treatment. Men
like DR.. Sidney Gulick and DIR. Smaller
Mathews, through intimate and sympathetic
study, are on the path toa solution of the prob
lens. They work night and day to preserve
cordiality, and then along comes a gussiegard-
nering statesman who betrays an apparent con-
tempt for Japan that is entirely unjustifed.
The problem of Japanese American relations
will never be solved if it is approached on the
premise that America is somehow peopled by an
entirely superior race who look down upon the
rest of the world. OF course that isn't gen
eral sentiment in America 1t is gussiegard-
ner sentiment.
japanese leaders understand that gussie-
gardnerism is not an American characteristic,
just as American leaders understand that the
rabid jingoism found in Toxic is not a Japan
csc characteristic.
