An Important Statement

The statement is regarded in official
circles as one of the most important
declarations by the board since its
creation. Officials would not discuss
the question for publication, but some
of them informally interpreted the
warning as the reserve boards answer
to the recent proposal of J. p. Morgan
& Co., British fiscal agents in this
country, to have American bankers
accept British treasury bills of an in
definite total issue, secured by gold
reserves held in Ottawa. Such loans
would be for 80 days with the priv
ilege of renewal for five other 90-day
periods.
Davidson at Washington
H. p. Davidson of the Morgan firm
was in Washington recently and con-
ferred with President Wilson and
some members of the reserve board.
1t was said later that he sought to
have banks of the reserve system au-
thorized to buy British treasury bills
as if they were bills of exchange to
cover commercial transactions.
Danger from further importation of
large amounts of gold, the board says
in it's statement, will arise only in
case the gold is permitted to become
the basis of undesirable loan expan-
sions and of imitation. Emphasis is
laid on the necessity for caution in
putting money into Investments which
are short term in name but which

THE COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
TREE

Honolulu, Dec II, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: /.
Following the custom of
many mainland cities, the
Outdoor Circle is this year to
inauourate community
Christmas tree on Christmas
Eve, and committees
are busy planning the de-
tails"
The appearance of the foregoing in
local paper is certainly sufficient to
cause the reader to rub his eyes and
wonder whether it is he or Honolulu
that has been asleep. Recently the
writer returned from few years res
idence on the mainland, and it was
during that period that the commun-
ity Christmas tree idea developed. The
tree" in his home town was pole
TO which number of evergreen
branches were dashed, Stimulating a
large tree; this was profusely lighted
with colored electric lamps, and was
formally inaugurated Christmas Eve
with conventional vocal music. The
tree was something to look at-noth-
ing more-and one look was satisfy
ing; there was nothing impressive
about it, nothing to remember esDe-
cially or to talk about afterward. No
one benefited by it in any way and
I is doubtful if anyone really enjoyed

That's when the writer got busy.
Huh! Something new? Why, we've
had real community Christmas trees
in Honolulu ever since 1908, and not
the make-believe look-at kind. either.
