III AWAIT with its limited area of arabic land
- and its ever increasing wealth and popula
ton has public domain problem more difficult
Of solution than perhaps any OTHER political sub
division Of the United States The question is
constantly ybeiug asked what policy is the wisest
to adopt Is it best to divide the plantation hold
3 ings Of government land into small farms. when
the present leases expire and parcel these out to
individuals? ffas demonstrating proved enough
of an economic, political and social success make
i good business, and good politics to give the
land to individual farmers?
y This land of Hawaii is ours. We have made it
what il is. 1t is a goAily land, and fair In the
face of all the waters there is none other like it,
Shall the public domain be handed down to our
sons that they may take up the work of industrial
production where we end it, or would it be better
Tor us and them to adopt some other system Of
land ownership?
There has been much said on this subject Dis
ctssion of the land problem has ragged since long
before the sugar industry gained ascendency. They
talked homesteading in the days when pull. sandal
wood and fungus were the chief articles the Sand
witch Islands of eighty years ago contributed as
their share of the worlds commerce. Small farm
ing was live topic in the early whaling days !;
ing; through the island cotton days of the
American Civil War; and through the lean and
hungry period from 1865 to 1876 when Hawaii had
no exports worth mentioning but hides and taIlow,
whale-bone and oil.
1t is the product that makes land worth having
not the virgin fertility the soil contains. There
are island archepelagoes without number having
undeveloped of richer land than ours. There
are better sugar lands, potentially, awaiting the
hand OF the tiler in areas of tens of millions of
acres, whose possession be had for the asking
The tropics is replete with opportunity. If men
would become pioneers let them go there. Why
should the men who have made these Islands in
dustrialy productive almost beyond belief be ask
ed to step aside and yield the fruits of their own
toll and endeavor to those who have neither toied
nor sownS In an undeveloped land and new
coutry small individual farms and holdings may
sometimes be an essential to rapid progress poi
teal and industrial. In old settled, highly de-
veloped country like, Hawaii the alienation of the
public domain in small holdings, savors of a gam
bling proposition or easy path to sudden wealth
at the expense of the entire community.
Public opinion more upholds the homestead
ing OF highly improved and enriched cane lands
than DR., Victor Clark has recently put it, the
citizens of New, York City would approve of home
stealing Central Park. The principle of the pro-
position is the same in both cases.

Riches and Poverty

I DOSE speech is not argument. Chairman
IL Garretson Of the railroad brotherhood con-
ference committee before the senate committee
said:
81 take no stock in this talk of endangerng pro-
sperity. What sort of prosperity is it that piles
up great fortunes for the few and leaves the peck
cts of the great masses empty? If that be pros
perity, then prosperity is damnable thing"
To this the New York Annalist replies;
And so it would be, but it fairly be said
that such has been the condition of the country
Never were wages so high, and never was the
income from wealth in this country subjected to
heavier taxation than today. Those are not con-
ditions which make for the accumulation of wealth
in the hands of the few, leaving the pockets OF
the many empty. Mr.. Garretson was right in
arguing that higher wages would not endanger
prosperity, provided the increase did not bring
them too much out OF line with other prices, but
he was wrong if he meant to imply that the con-
ditions which exist now making the rich richer
and the poor poorer"

BRITISH MAIL HOLDUP
Says Allies Are Using Censorship
For Commercial Gain

WASHINGTON, September lin a
| statement issued by Senator James ID,
Phelan of California it is declared that
had Lloyd Georges speech announc-
ing England 9 right to, trade Il secrets
found in censored American letters
been made before the adoption of the
emergency. revenue bill his amend.
ment permitting retaliation on mails
Of belligerents would not have been
removed, Y The statement of the Brit.
ish Cabinet Minister, he said, con.
firmed the. opinion he already, held
that Great Britain was making an m
fair and Legitimate use Of the censor
ship for the purpose of furthering her
own trade at the expense Of the trade
of neutrals. ., w ,,..'
The blacklisting of the George W.
McNear Company on the Pacific, said
Phelan, was merely an attempt to
break the American hold on Pacific
commerce and turn it into the hands
of Balfour, Guthrie Il Co. or Strauss &
Co, with whom British traders are ad-
vised to deal. Heads of both of these
firms ares members of the British
House of Commons. American mail
crossing the Pacific, said Phelan, has
been opened and trade secrets taken
therefrom by British censors. He also
cites the incident of an American mail
sack from, the American, postal agency
in Shanghai containing mail bearing
americas stamps and bound from one
American postal Office to another
which had been broken. open by Brit
ish censors and its contents read and
reAealed Mail of imnortars and shin.
pers, said ,Phelan, has been singled out
for censorship.
In the remaining provisions Of the
emergency revenue bill, however, Pie.
Ian believes the President has been
given sufficient power to check the
abuses complained of.
