Prosecution of all persons who per

Commissioner Baughman from all oyer

HAWAII LABOR VIEWED BY A FEDERAL
.<..: EXPERT. ...->= . ....:

DR. Victor $. CIark's views on Hawaii and Ha-
waiian labor conditions are well-known here. since
he frequently and frankly expressed them while he
was territorial commissioner of immigration. They
are repeated. with some elaboration in his report
as special investigator for the department Of com
merce. Their conclusions carry out in detail what
DR. Royal Meeker, head of the bureau of labor stais
tics, and DIR. Clark said in interviews during their
visit here last wear.
DIR. Clark. while cautious TO conclusion, indi-
Gates his appreciation both Of the peculiar problems
of Hawaii labor and Of the progressing effort to
solve these problems. He recognizes the endeayOr

here and the fact that Hawaii is not cursed with
the nonresident landlord system but that the large
businessmen and landowners live and do their work
In these islands. .--. .@--.=
Statisticans familiar with plantation and agency
figures may find in the exhaustive tables things
with which to take issue, but the general report
seems fair in trend and in such tentative conclusions
as he has made Certainly it is in strong contrast
to the uniformed statements of the commissioner
Of labor, Anthony Caminetti, who says that Hawaii
Is making no progress toward Amercanizaton. And

JAPAN IN THE SOUTH SEAS.

Attention has been drawn in these columns from
time to time to the permanence with which Japan
Is establishing herself in the South Sea islands tax
en- from Germany. 1t is now learned that not only
has Japanese taken over the industries but has set
M a farreaching school system.
Government officials recently returned to Toxic
from the German South Sea islands which were oe-
cupied BY Japan after outbreak of the European
war report that Japanese administration has been
widely extended aud that primary schools have been
established in seven of the largest islands The
chipelago which is now ruled by Japan includes is
lands in the groups known as Marianne, Caroline
and Marshall.
The native children are taught the japanese Ian
guage, arithmetic, singing and sewing. 1t is pro-
posed to send a party of sixty leading natives to
Japan during the summer or autumn. A regular
line of steamers maintains communication with
Japan while Japanese sailing vessels and launches
run between the various islands. The actual dis
position of the islands is to be decided at the peace
conference which will follow the present war
Kazuyoshi Yagyu, ex-presdent of the Bank of
Formosa, insists that successful Japanese CONNER
cial expansion to the South is greatly dependent on
successful cooperation with Chinese emigrants in
the South Seas who number about 4,OOOOOO, and
they are increased by an exodus of 3O0000 from
South China every year
Commenting on the situation after the war, the
fnancier said eff economic warfare be solely de
termined by the amount of capital, Japan has no
chance against most of the European powers. We
need not however, be pessimistie of our trade pro
spects as there other factors to be taken into
consideration In the probable economic rivalry in
the Far East or in the South Seas, Japan commands
geographical as well as other advantages over her
rivals. We have many things in common with the
rest of the Oriental nations, which will count for
much in competition with western countries"

wANTED-A CROWD.

Hilo and the Big Island are going the limit to
entertain delegates and visitors to the Fifth Civic
Convention and Hawaii County Fair next month.
The Inter-Island Steam Navigation CO. has an
nounced half-rate for the round trip from Homo
lulu. Passengers may leave Honolulu on September
90 and reach this city again the morning of Sep
tember o. The steamship fare will be $15 and in
the six days of the trip there is program both of
entertainment and of territory community work
which ought to appeal generally.
Honolulu by all means should send record
crowd to Hilo for these two events. The Cham
Der of Commerce should send at least 80, the AID
Club 50 and other organizations in proportion.
The events at Hilo are not confined to men. Their
wives, sisters swecthearts are invited too. An ac
tive and very hospitable ladies' committee at Hlo
is making plans to entertain feminine visitors.
1t Is distinctly up to Honolulu to meet Hlo half
way and send the biggest crowd that has ever at
tended civic convention
Take your vacation during the civic convention
time and spend it in Hilo!
