No where has the half hazard ma
ton of English diplomacy been more
clearly exemphfied than in her deal
ings with Egypt. A serene conviction
of being right in principle while, per-
haps, wrong in theory, has led to
much criticism and opposition, ana
has often raised doubts OF her good
faith. The latest developments IN
the Egyptian situation are more cal.

her heart than her clearness or VISOR
From 1911 to 1914 Egypt was con-
tinuously a subject state OF the. OF
toman Empire, except for the three
years of the French invasion from
i79S to 1901. In the latter year the
French army surrendered to the Brit
ish at Alexandria and the Sultan once
more resumed his sway. When, IN
1912, Mohammed Ali the revolving
Pasha Of Egypt, whose troops h2d
even menaced Constantinople itself,
would have declared his independence,
il was by British influence that ne
was persuaded to continue TO accept
the overlordship OF the Sultan. though
on very different conditions from HIS
previous vassalage.

A DIsCREDITED CRY

Everybody is familiar with the old
whining CRY of the Democrats in CAM
paisns gone by. the tariff IS tax.
It was the iuvariable custom of the
opponents of the Republican prlnci-
pie of protection TO blame any I'm
usual economic disturbance on the
protective tariff.
In 1917 the Democratic party charg-
ed the high cost of living to the pro-
tective tariff. and falsely asserted that
although the workingmen of the Unit
ed States are better paid than the
xorkinsmen in f1ee-tra4e country
vet they pay so much more for the
artic!as they consume that they. are
injured rather than benefited. But
what has happened through the estao-
1ishmeut Of that great Democratic
cure-all. free trade. The Underwood
bin began to operate in the fall OF 1913.
II not only failed to reduce the cost
of living. even before the war began,
but brought about an industrial de-
preston which caused suffering and
want throughout : the length and
breadth Of the land. In the present
abnormal but much-boasted prospect
ty. the cost Of living has advanced
tar more rapidly than the increase In
wages. We have seen many OF the
necessaries OF life increase 10 to So
Der cent in cost while wage increases
of five or ten per cent have been her
aided By the Democratic administra-
ton as great achievements Of Demo.
critic policies.
The conditions that prevailed under
Republican protection clearly demon
strated that its developing character
ultimately reduces the cost OF the
product to the consumer. This was
amply illustrated in the case Of tin
plate. Prior TO 1891 we had absolute
" no tin industry. but purchased our
supply In the British Isles. Tin plate
was then costing US 49, cents per
pound The tariff law Of 1890 placed
a cuty Of % cents per pound on tin.
with the result that large tin plate in
dustries were started in this country.
We not only gave employment to our
own people. but domestic competition
became 80 keen that the price was re.
duced to 80 cents per pound: We

DON'T COME ION A SHOEsTRING."

Every public or semfpublic agency such as the
Hawaii Promotion Committee the Y. NJ. {. A.,
and almost every business house in Honolulu has
experience with men and women who to the
islands seeking employment, with no definite idea
of conditions here and without money to support
them more than a few days They arrive find the
opportunities for clerical general business posi-
tions very few, their scant funds out and they
are in a pitiable position--a position especially
humiating to selfrespectipg people
Hawaii is distinctly not responsible for these re-
grettable incidents. Repeated warnings have been
sent out not only by these public and semi-public
agencies but by every business firm to which letters
of wOuldbe employees written. Yet somehow
men and women in the states seem to think this
land where jobs are plenty. Because the islands
prosperous, because business positions are we'll
raid here they suppose there jobs to be had for
the asking. The opposite is true. Compared to the
figures of industrial production. the number of bust
ness firms and the number of business changes are
few which is quite natural in country devoted pri
marily to raw sugar production. III
The fact cannot be too widely spread that people
who come to Hawaii looking for jobs should come,
with money to maintain them here for two or three
months at least, and, then with money enough TO
take them back to the coast if their quest is unsue
cessful. -~.. ~ -" &.

EASY COME, EASY GO.

From Maui comes the report of an 1S-year-old
Spanish girl with two children who, after an expe-
rienee with Korean husband, wished to marry
again. the new subject of her ephemeral affections
being Filipino. There being delay in the issu-
ance OF the marriage license, she changed grooms
and married another Filipino.
The story has its humorous aspects but now or
later il will probably turn into tragedy of some
sortnone the less tragedy because the principals
are poor and obscure What it does illustrate pow.

Hawaii remarry. Attempts to pass law fixing a
