The Quartermaster Corps of the
Hawaiian Department, U. S. A., is not
discriminating against island,grow
product. It does not use more Hawaii
an vegetables because the island bid
ders fix their prices far above those
set by the mainland wholesale pro-
duce firms. This statement was made
by Major c. S. Lincoln to the food
commission yesterday afternoon.
He cited one or two instances
wherein the territorial marketing d.
vision had the material and rendered
bids, but its figures were more than
twice the amounts asked by the low
est bidder And we are required to
accept the lowest tender, quality be-
ing equal" Major Lincoln said.
There is just one way in which
the growers Of Hawaii can hope to
sell their surplus foodstuffs 10 the
army. That is by creating an effici-
ent business organization and all
working together in close cooperation,
creating a steady, reliable stream Of
supplies, properly graded as to quail
ity. That will permit their representa-
tive in Honolulu to compete success
fully against the mainland wholesale

China--The Troublesome Factor

In some respects the most important event OF the
week coming TO a close was not in Europe, nor was
it an integral part of the great war
Il was the sudden outburst Of criticism in Toxic
Of President Wilson's note to China expressing re-
eret at the diSsensions of the new republic.
This outburrst again emphasizes Japans firm de-
termination 10 exercise her sphere OF influence
over China-an influence which again and again
japanese statesmen have declared 10 be necessary 10
save China from spoliation and TO save the Orient
from a war as relentless and perhaps as 1arreach-
ing as that engulhng the Old World
The open door doctrine and the Root Takahira
agreement prevent Japan from formally enunclat-
ing any Monroe doctrine for the Far East, but all
her diplomatic moves tend toward emphasizing
her leadership Her wise statesmen in Toxic
have let no opportunity slip since the Russian war
to strengthen their ascendancy in the Orient, and
their shining opportunity came with the outbreak
of the European war.
i Within q few months after that date, Japan had
conquered Tsingtau and simultaneously had begun
to extend commercial interests in many parts
of China. Britain, putting forth tremendous
energies to raise the Kitchener army and to keep
the ocean free OF hostile naval vessels, was SO bound
in a military us well us diplomatic way that she
could not carry out her usual vigorous commercial
policy in the Orient
. Japan has not failed in late months to press
steadily and effectively her Chinese policy. Premier
Okuma and Foreign Minister Kato went out OF
power, but the clever General Terauchi succeeded
Okuma and from the first he has seemed to move
more smoothly toward developing Japan's well.
defined aims. Those aims are quite evidently to
establish Japan in the leadership, commercial poll
ticaI and military, of the Orient China's markets
are needed for Japan's manufactured goods. And
now that Russia is virtually out Of the war, Japan
has lost an immensely lucrative warcustomer. More
than ever Japan's commercial ascendancy~ in the
Orient must be assured. r
President Wilson's message to China, urging sup
port OF the republican form of government and
expressing regret at the internal dissension does
not seem cause of ofense to Japan but evidently
the Japanese press has found it unsettling to Nip
pon's aims To these who know the extent to which
important government policies are instantly reflect
ed in the columns Of the Japanese newspapers, this
sudden outhurst Of criticism cannot but be inter
preted as evidence that japan intends to make
sharply evident her attitude with regard to China
