Although M. Kawakatsu of the Su-

adds that he is prevented from so do
ing by inability to secure a territorial
license. II is reported in Japanese
business circles that although

gives the Japanese commercial rights
in this country he cannot exercise
them. The territorial treasurer says
that he can open his bank and obtain
"a license when he complies with ter
ritorial laws as must any American
citizen ...
NJ. Kawakatsu came to Honolulu
with the intention of opening Japa-
nese bank as was reported by the
Star-Bulletin. He has been looking
for banking quarters and it has been
reported that he secured them. Now
he finds himself unable to carry out
his plans in the manner he intended.

This is te-aeknowledg the receipt
of your letter of the Sth inst in which
you inform me that you read in the
Nippu Jill, local Japanese newspa-
per, that a Japanese banking corpor-
alton found it impossible to establish
its branch in this city under existing
laws of the territory.
To a certain extent this is correct,
as the only way they could do bust
ness here is either as an individual, a
copartnership, or as a domestic cor
poration. Secticn 1879. Revised Laws
of Hawaii, reads in part as follows;
Provided, further, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed t6
give any such corporation or company
any of the special powers conferred
by law upon railroad or banking cor
poratiols constituted under the laws
of this territory. " E.
The law refers not only to corpora
tions of foreign countries but to cor
porations established under the laws
OF any state of the United States.
| have talked over the matter with
the attorney general, who advises ME,
that according to our law no foreign
corporation can do a banking busi-
ness IN the territory. The use of the
word foreign is simply to designate
that the corporation is one organized
outside of the territory Of Hawaii.
AS this law has never been taken
to the supreme court for interpreta-
ton, 1t is suggested that friendly
case De prepared and brought before
that body so that we may have an au-
thoritatfve~ decision covering the
matter. z-. RI

From Maui Japanese comes the
complaint that missing money orders

complaints were not accompanied by
receipts, SO that the investigators do
not know how much money is thought
to be missing. Tracing the money or

absence of the postmaster has delayed
a first-hand investigation at Paia.
