COM NE RCIAL NE VS.
FINANCIERS in
COUNTY OF MAUI

Maui county's ability to get things
done by doing them itself is well illus
trated by the following story which
comes from the Valley Island, regard
ing the 0linda reservoir.
Maui was given loan fund appro-
priation by the last legislature amount.
ing to $50, 900, but because there seem.
ed dearth of buyers in the money
market for territorial bonds the pro-
ject seemed likely for a time to go
a.begging.
Accordingly the Maui board Of sup.
eryisors decided to appropriate the
money to buy the $4,000 worth OF
bonds from the territory in order to
forward their own work. As this
much money was not in the country
Golfers it had to be borrowed, and by
an act of the recent legislature the
borrowing could be from the territory.
This was done. The territory turned
over the money to the county, then
the county turned it back to the terri.
tory. Now the county will use the
money in loan fund work.
County Engineer j. B. Cox of Maui.
who is in Honolulu, says $4,000 will
rot be enough to line the Olinda reser.
yoir, but that the county intends to
furnish any additional funds that may
be needed. The reservoir when com.
pleted will hold six million gallons

SODA WATER FAMINE
LOOMS AS RESULT OF

Honolulu is threatened with fam
inc. of soft drinks. 1t is all because
the local soda water manufacturers
declare that you can't make pop
out of any but the very best sugar.
1T isn't being done, and furthermore
il can't be done" they aver.
Since it was announced Saturday
that there was less than 100 bags Of
granulated sugar in the islands and
more could not be secured immediate
ly either from the mainland of from
the refinery at the Honolulu Planta.
ton mill, there has been great sour.
rying by soda water makers in search
OF pure white sugar. ~.
Asked why they did not get brown
sugar they declare it cannot be used
as substitute, if for no other reason
than that it discolors the soft drinks.
Pessimistically, some of the soda
makers say they will have to close
Gown if they cannot get refined sugar
for their manufacturing wants. This
they will be unable to do until about
December IA, when the Honolulu mill
is to start grinding, week sooner
than first planned in order to alleviate
the white sugar shortage. a..
Meanwhile, the sugar shortage

10000 TONS 1917
SUGAR REMAINS TO
BE SENT TO STATES

Less than 5000 tons of Sugar Fac,
tors sugar of the 1917 crop now re-.
mains unshipped, states A. M. Now.
ell, secretary of the factors. By the
accumulation of small lots, a ship,
ment of $500 tons has been gotten
together, of which 500 tons is 1918
crop, for despatch early in December
by the former German ship Seneca,
which is to be sent here by the ship
ping board.
This vessel could take 1900 tons OF
sugar If this much was available,
and an attempt may be made to fill
her holds with other cargo.
II revised estimates of managers
prove correct, there remain about
10000 tons of 1911 sugar unshipped
from plantations not represented by
the Sugar Factors. According to
these estimates, the 1917 crop will
total SIG, 900 tons of Sugar Factors
sugar and 10000 tons for the other
Hawaiian plantations, or total OF
636, 900 tons for this years crop for
the islands. :s-. s.
E. d. Tenney has stated that he
believes the shipping board was con.
sidering the movement of the 1918
crop over a 12-month period, and not
in a or 10-month period as has
always been attempted in the past.
Mr.. NOVEL; was asked what effect
this would have on the shipment OF
sugar next year. 1T will result in
the shipment OF less sugar each
month. Especially, will this be so
next wear as there will be less sugar
to ship due to the drought. But
some provision may have to be made
by the various plantations for stor-
ing sugar until ships are available.
The estimated loss for the islands
by the drought in next years crop
is placed at $4,000 to $4,000 tons.

successful, must be accompanied by
some measure of trust and confidence.
The Japanese have tricked the Chi
nese SO much that the Chinese have
lost all confidence in their neighbors,
both politically and commercially.
The situation as it stands between
the United States, China and Japan is
in its infancy, but it is growing daily
and will have to be taken into consid-
Grafton soon."
Chinese papers throughout the re-
public show hostility to any financial
arrangement in which Japan has q
hand. There is a general disposition to
discourage joint action between any
group of foreign powers and China, If
Japan be included in the group. Chi
nese newspapers are practically unan-
imous in their expression of the hope
that American bankers will invest
large sums in the development of
China without cooperation with for
eign powers. The United States is her
aided as the one country which has
dealt fairly with China, and has no de-
sire to acquire Chinese territory and
exercise undue political pressure on
China through financial channels.

JAPAN SEEKS TO
GAIN ECONOMIC
VICTORY IN CHINA
Chinese Newspapers Hostile to
Financial Arrangements
Made by Neighbors

Peking. March s. Chinese news
papers are devoting much space to
discussion of the apparent change in
Japan's attitude towards China. Pa
pers of all parties and factions share
the opinion that Japan has abandon
ed, at least temporarily all thought of
physical conquest of China, and is de-
voting itself to an economic conquest.
Japan's attitude towards the new
American enterprises in China and
the renewed efforts of Japanese bank
ers to entrench themselves more thor
oughly through loans of various sorts
are widely discussed in the Chinese
press as well as in parliament. The
following statement from the Peking
Daily News is representative of the
view generally taken by the Chinese
press: AT Toxic the belief prevails
that Japan will continue her endeavor
to increase her political influence in
China. The Japanese business men
are continually clamoring for q polit-
ical ascendency that will not be so alb
rupt as to endanger peace. What they
want is a thorough economic conquest
of the neighboring republic.
The readiness with which the
Chinese recently granted American
capitalists the concession to build a
lcng railroad and their hesitation in
making contracts with the Japanese
have awakened the Japanese to the
TACT that aseendency in China, to be
