The Hyphe11 In Ha,udii

young men of Japanese parentage born here
IN Hawaii and hence under the law entitled to
the privileges of American citizenship Join the
National Guard they must do 50 as American
citizens and not as Japanese Americans The
SUBJECT OF the hyphen factor in citizenship
has been widely discussed during the past two
years, and the public criticisms icveled against
the German-American, the British-American, the
Italian American or any other hyphenate apply
equally to the sons of alien parentage here in
Hawaii
AZ has been generally stated and not specifically
denied that over ninety-6ve per cent of the chill.
dren OF japanese parentage born here have been
registered by their parents Japanese citizens on
the register of the Japanese consulate Where
TINS has been done the young men, we believe
have the privilege under Supreme Court decisions
ot choice as to their allegiance on attaining heir
majority. If their choice lies with the land of
:helr parents nativity, merely having been born
pm American soil does not automatically confer
american citizenship. If we are correctly INFORM
the courts have held that parents cannot on the
other hand deprive their of the rights of
american citizenship if the latter choose to exer-
else it. 1t is matter of individual choice, but
the choice must be clearly made This point as
u concerns the Japanese born in Hawaii will I'M
doubtedly have to be made the subject of official
adjudication and decision by the Supreme Court Of
the Unted States
IA young men OF Japanese parentage born in
Hawai-, whose names have not been registered
by their parents at the consulate as citizens OF
foreign country, elect to claim the rights and
privileges Of American citizenship, they stand UNI
der the law on equality with al other Young
americans. If they wish to join the National
Guard they may do so, but as Americans and not
as Japanese-Americans SO far as we are aware
there is no country the globe known as
!. Japanamerica." There is no Japanese American
Nag, language or law. Either man born of that
parentage is Japanese, or he is American He
cannot be both. The hyphen must be cast out
and kept out.

Spray Irrigation,

.THE Skinner system of spray irrigation is be-
i coming vogue on the mainland especially
where truck crops are grown near the big cities.
The advantages claimed are water economy and
low cost of operation. The land to be irrigated
does not have to be leveled, ditched or dyked.
Hence there is saving in land surfaces and labor
as we'll as economy of water.
The general adoption of the Skinner system has
revolutionzed market gardening and is now be-
ing extended to field crops where the per-acre
value is high, it is with tobacco and some others
The system is very simple one Instead Of dis
tributing the water over the fields by fumes and
bitches, rows OF pipes strung across the land
on posts scantlings eight or ten feet above the
surface, The pipes are perforated with very fine
holes every two to four feet A gasoline pump is
connected to every ten-acre unit of piping. Work
ing under thirty to forty pounds pressure the air
is constantly filled with fine rain and throughout
the hottest and dryest summer weather crops
grow as they would in a house. under glass
The increased yields from land thus constantly
irrigated, at the rate of inch of artificial rain
fall in ten hours, are said to surpass the dreams
of avarlce. Average returns of thousand dollars
an acre are not unusual, it is reported. The cost
OF installing and operating the necessary equip
ment is said to range from 500 to $40 per acre,
and, because gasoline will make water run up
hill the great expense of surfacing and preparing
fields to be irrigated is obviated. The United
States department of agriculture is advocating the
more general application of this system in field
practise

CARGOES
IN INTERNED SHIPS
cargoes Destined To United
States Are Held Up In Rio
De Janeiro

The consulate general at Rio de ia.
metro has on numerous occasions been
allied upon to serve the interests OF
american shippers of cargo, directed
ibtehy to African ports, and shipped
from the United States via Hamburg
Ir Antwerp upon German vessels such
Is the Etruria, Gertrude Woermann,
md others now interned in Brazilian
ports. These ships, which belong to
the Deutsch ost Afrika LIME, or the
Woermann Line, did a considerable
business in handling American carRoes

antwerp, and sometimes, it is said,
ven from English ports, for various
places in West, South and East Africa,
md sometimes India. When the war

yer of them now lie. ,.,...s
The problem of protecting the inter
ests of American shippers Of cargo
upon these boats is complicated by the
fact that the American claimant often
has no knowledge Of the particular
ship that carried his cargo after trans
shipment was made in Europe.
uotInB cargo from vessels
In the beginning the German com
panies here allowed the withdrawal of
cargo from informed ships only when
1t was slowed within very easy reach
and upon payment of proper stevedor,
ing charges. Later there was some
talk of combining or pooling the in.
terests of the claimants to the various
lots making up the cargo. Today q
more practical solution, although one
involving considerable expense, has
been reached, as follows:
If the claimant can present his ship.
ping documents (triplicate set of bills
Of lading) to the ships agents here,
the cargo may be landed upon pay.
ment to the company of twenty per
cent Of its invoice value. Any other
legitimate expenses that the shipment
may have incurred will also be charged
to the shipper. In case the shipping
documents are not available to the
shipper, his only mode of procedure
would be to communicate with the
head Office of the German steamship
line that did the carrying, state his
case, and request them to authorize
their local agency at Rio de Janeiro
TO discharge the cargo and hand it
"ver to some appointed person in this
Hort, subject, of course, to the condi.
tions above mentioned.
The consulate general at Rio de ia.
metro is prepared in all cases in which
1t is addressed on such matters 10
hand over the claimants papers to
some reliable customs broker.
All that is written above refers TO
cargo still lying in the holds of in.
termed German steamships. In some
cases. notably that Of the Deutsch ost
Afrika Iinie's steamer Muansa, the
vessel rid itself of it's cargo partly By
den0siting it with the dock, eompsnS
'Compagnie du Port de Rio de ia
neiro). Such portions of the cargo as
are in the hands of the port company
are subject to storage charges, to sat

German government is planning to make it's to-be

matter OF course:
The German imperial committee for Olympic games

When our boys go to the mainland they out
swim, outwalk, outrun and outplay most of their

things, from choice, beats the German system all
hollow, but it is worth remembering that soldiers

Taxation Without Voice

TT is interesting to note that while the Southern

individually they represent very small minority

United States. In the house the chairman Of the

only 55Ol votes. The chairman of the committee
