Is interesting to learn that di-
rect and speedy communication between
this country and Spain is soon to be
established, but the important feature of
the news is that the Spanish Govern
ment Is financing and directing the con.
structlon OF the ships which will make
the new circuit. 1t was rumored lately
that Switzerland. without a seaport,
would presently buy ships In order to in.
sure her export and import trade. The
neiigerents OF Europe are fighting with
~ least halr an eye on trade conditions
after the war ends. and provision for
merchant vessels, We may be sure, will
not be lacking, Meantime the neutral
which has the greatest commerce is still
without an acceptable or adequate ma

FUNDAMENTAL OBSERVATIONS
AND EsoTERlc coGiTATioNs. .

Honolulu, April 4, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
Sir-The causes for the injunction,
wake up America" is DOUBTLESS mis-
understood by a great man$ people as
being a mere passing delpsion, in
spired by events transpiring in Eli
rope" military moonshine," as the
Saturday Evening Post sizes up the
situation-but kindly permit word
in behalf of this subject, which the
writer has humbly endeavored to
direct attention to since long before
the European war broke out. In or.
der to be convinced as to the truth of
the proposition, the effects of its de-
mand for the time being should be
ignored, while fundamentals are being
weighed very carefully. For instance.
the value of dollar rests on its de-
mand and supply basis,t but "a dol
lar easily gained is easy spent" is a
true maximum, and therefore to real
ize the value of dollar it is neces-
sary to take into consideration the
honor that sustains that value, with
out which there is no value in it
whatever Now the same is true as
to the various phases of civilization.
There is absolutely no value In a sin
gle phase alone. The whole category
must be symbolized in one crowning
act or deed that involves all No half
way measures will answer, for halt
way measure means that there is an.
other halfway measures that is nil,
and consequently tie whole business
