Mistake Rectified

~ difficult international situation which has not
IA received much public notice but which never
theless was the cause of much concern at the
state department has been dissipated by the res
ending of an offensive order. About the middle of
April the Canadian government directed that rigid
search be made of all American vessels plying Oh
the Great Lakes, stopping at Canadian Lake ports,
and the removal from them of enemy subjects
The Lake Carriers Association, with headquar-
tiers at Chicago, at protested to secretary of
state, Lansing, who set in motion negotiations
through the proper diplomatic channels.
The American consul general at Ottawa report
ID officially, and the state department has made
the report public, follows: Il am informed
by the Canadian department of external affairs
that these regulations not applicable to river
and harbor ports and that any instructions that
have been issued in that behalf have been can
celled The department states, however, rule for
such removal from neutral vessels will be enforced
at all seaports"

No Race Line Here

lSAN any fat-minded man who watches the
~ holiday crowds in Honolulus streets say
that there is vestige of racial prejudice among
them? Color Of skin is of less Importance, an
Ecostry carries less weight, than in almost any
hand on Gods Footstoolr II IS not considered in
the ordinary, everyday conduct of business nor
lin the schools nor in the churches; nor on the
streets; nor at public or private gatherings. 1t
has never been made an issue at the polls, and
except that there is wise provision that none
but citizens shall become public servants it does
not in any way affect the conduct of government.
Constituted Our population is of mixture OF
extremely heterogeneous races any attempt to in
Iect this issue into politics Is inadvised, If not
morally criminal for it is appeal to that ignorant
prejudice which is the primal cause Of civil dis
turbances and foreign wars. Those who would
deliberately raise this question in a community
where it does not exist must have motives so pure
and holy that public opinion absolves them from
the guilt of individual prejudice or the expectation
Of personal gain. ""
Were there any race of men in a state who were
mentally degenerate, immoral and incapable OF
fulfilling civic obligations because of their an
cestry, it would be fitting and proper that the
other elements of the state should deny them full
participation in civic government but only to the
extent, and as long as, that disability remained.
It is inconceivable that any man should imagine
such condition Of affairs to exist here. That is
the basis on which full American citizenship has
been denied to the inhabitants Of the Philippines
and Porto Rico en- masse, but the privilege has
been extended to individuals among them who by
exhibition of moral fibre and capacity prove that
| they are OF the stuff that American citizens are
made of.
| Any man, therefore, who would raise this issue,
or seek directly by ndirection to cause it to be
brought forward, is triAing with dangerous
weapons.

Opportunities Westward

VNHE tremendous wealth which has been con-
ferred upon Hawaii by the fortuitous circum-
stance of war gives merchants and men Of
affairs opportunities such seldom accrue to any
group of men so situated. Hawai- is two thousand
miles nearer the great markets of the Orient than
any other American state. 1t has Immediate d.
rect connections with them. 1t knows under
stands and is in sympathy with them. Their
people among our people. We know their
speech, their customs, their ways of thought their
methods of transacting business.
In cooperation with the Chinese Legation at
Washington OF the leading financial insttu-
tons of New York City has issued an appeal to
American business men and bankers to take stock
of the trade and industrial opportunities of China
and China is only one of the great undeveloped
markets, to US close at hand.
With 100000 inhabitants" this statement
reads, "China has only 600 miles of railway with
cities like Canton, Picking, Hankow and Tientsin
whose populations range from $4,000 to $4,000
with only about 600 factories in the entire empire
with untold natural wealth in minerals foodstuffs
and raw materials for textile manufacture; with
cheap, Industrious intelligent labor; with great
inland waterways, with a long seacoast and al
most every variety Of Climate-with all these posi-
bilities and advantages, it seems certain that the
development of China must soon commence and
that in that development American manufacturers,
contractors, engineers and bankers must share or
else miss Of the greatest opportunities OF their
time"
