The flag. when not in the form of 'rOlOrS.

union is upward. but when it is hung from

who will look al it when the stripes vPrti-

of view, but which will appear reversed TO the

BELIEVES China
HAD GOOD REASON
TO MAKE BREAK
Severance With Germany May
Be Wise Policy on Part of
Eastern Republic

. Evidently China had an excellent
reason for following the example OF
the United States by breaking SO
suddenly and surely with Germany, il
that given by Lieut. -Comdr. c. T.
Hutcnins, naval attacEe on his way
home in the Venezuela from over two
years service lor the United States
at Pekin, is correct.
Hutchins said this morning that
China was considering the years to
come and her financial problems
when she made the move.
Possibly some remember that
China Unidentified the Allied powers
during the Boxer uprisings," he says.
1T is not generally known or sunder.
stood that in 1910 there is due from
China to the present Allied powers
about $100,000,000. If the Allies have
offered her a material reduction of the
indemnity should she break with Ger.
many naturally she would know which
side her bread is buttered on"
Although not speaking officially
Hutchins says this may be the chief
reason for the diplomatic break. Mrs.
Hutchins and their child are going
home with him.

HoNoLULU's IDEALS IMPRESS
HIM

Honolulu, T. H., March %, 1917.
Editor Honolulu StarBulletin,
Dear Sir: Among the very appreci-
alive things written about Hawaii by
some of our American cousins who
have visited the Hawaiian Islands, is
the following, written to one of our
kamaainas by a California resident.
am sending it to you for | believe
that our people here will be interested
in knowing what others are saying of
US. &.
my visits TO the Islands are the
memories that prize most-because
| found a sincerity among those
got to know intimately that l have
not found elsewhere, and as l wan
der from place to place and meet
the absence of ethics, the prostitu.
ton of ideals, the apparent indiffer-
ence to self-respect, then my mind
returns to Honolulu, and know
that l am a better man, stronger in
purpose, because of having been
there. God seems to me nearer the
surface of human life in the Islands
and my faith in human beings is
strengthened from having associated
with Honolulans."
Very truly yours,
A. P. TAYLOR,
Secretary.

ROOSEVELT And
TAFT FAILED IN
Preparedness
Japanese Newspaper Says that
Wilson is Not Responsible;
People Should Aid Him

President Wilson should have the
backing as WE'LL" says the Hawaii
Hochi in an editorial yesterday. In
discussing the present international
situation the Japanese newspaper has
this to say on the subject:
We have explained several times
in our editorials why this country has
hesitated to declare war upon Ger
many for her violent actions. But
too much hesitation means more dis
grace. to the national honor of the
United States. .. ..
I'VE are now expecting that formal
declaration of war upon Germany will
be issued on April 2. Ii the president
issues the order for mobilization of
the army and navy as we'll as a call
for volunteers, and orders a fleet to
the war zone, we are willing to offer
our greatest sympathy to the presi-
dent.
THE president has borne with pa
tience the German violence for the
past two years on account of the coun-
try's unpreparedness, but it is not the
responsibility OF the pI esident alone.
We believe that former presidents,
Roosevelt and Taft, must share the
responsibilities Tor the nations I'M
preparedness. ......
AT the beginning of the present
war Theodore Roosevelt attacked VIII
son administration for not involving
this country in war and further
more he has attacked President Will
son personally, but we ask what did
Roosevelt do during his Hdministra-
ton? He did not do one thing for
the defense of his country during his
term of office. The gre:!teSt effort
he made was sending battle
ship squadron around tho world to
threaten Japan. E,.
Roosevelt ard Taft are both re-
sponsIbie for tie country's unprepar.
edness. Taft was. secretary of war
under Roosevelt, and he did nothing.
Neither did ne prepare during his
term as president. Inasmuch as
President Wilson has taken stand
to lefend the nations honor the peo-
ple of America should assist him,
keeping all criticism aside"

THE COUNTRY BEHIND THE PRESIDENT
(By Henry Clews)

s~a*. (By Henry Clews)
Such uncertain and strenuous times as We are
now passing through, have not been experienced at
any period since the Civil War; and there are no
indications of the end. On the contrary, they prom
Use to continue some months longer at least and the
more calmly and courageonsy they are accepted the
better and the quicker their settlement. Worldwide
upheayal is at work here as elsewhere; and import
ant readjustments. international and domestic,
must be anticipated before normal stability is re-
stored The war; of course, is the first object of
anxiety. President Wilson is steadfastly pursuing
conservative course in the hope Of avoiding con-
fict with Germany. At the same time he is deter
mined to protect American rights at though still
undecided whether he will arm or convoy American
merchant vessels. Meanwhile the government is
taking advantage of the delay to prepare for all
erentualties. The dsgraceful episode in the sen
ate at the close of Congress had one excellent re-
suit. it demonstrated that the country was over
whelmingly behind the president and it also exposed
the sources of disaffecton. For several days there
has been comparative absence of Irritating events
especially as the submarine campaign proved not as
serious as threatened. In consequence there has
been a partial subsistence of the warke feeling so
pronounced mt the close of last month Growing
strength of the Allies and declining resistance
among the Central Powers also encouraged hopes of
an early end of the war. 1t wOuld not be prudent,
however, to indulge such expectations too freely
the German fighting spirit being far from exhausted,
even If resources are impaired A sense of relief is
felt at the adjournment of Congress. With public
feeling in, such an infammatOry state now ex-
lists open discussion of international relations seems
highly undesirable and dangerous. In such sit,
uation the country is in better hands than of Con,
gress. so long only the latter body can declare
war. Unfortunately large amount of necessary
Legislation was left undone, and extra session
will doubtless be necessary to tide affairs be-
tween now and next December.

Meeting EalsehOOds With Truths

Selfish political motives played upon Ignorance
and credulity last night at the city charter hearing
B in the Capitol
Again was enacted the - formerly 81
familiar in American pOlitcs-that of binding
misleading tricking the honest. weintentioned
voter and citizen by deuge of plausible words
warning him that in some vague, mysterious way
his rights were to he stolen through moderate
governmental change
American history for the past three decades has
been the history of rights being won for the people
through exactly such changes as the Chamber OF
Commerce amendments propose. The rights have
been wrpsted from greedy bosses and wardheelers,
from great. selfish, powerful corporations. and
from Indifferent. apathetic grOups-wrested from
few and given to the many in the form of direct
control of their public officials.
This is exactly what the Chamber of Commerce
amendments aim at, but the opponents have
aroused the workingm6n TO nervous apprehension
that some "haoe trick is about to be played the
Hawaiian.
1t is useless to meet demagogism with mere
sweeping generalities Of denial. 1t is useless TO
meet prejudice with anger.
Nothing but systematic, careful, fair sympathetic
and continuous education will meet the present
problem Of convincing the mass of voters that they
have more real freedom, real power, more real
prosperity under q modern city charter than under
the present charter or the convention charter"
Particularly, let it be shown that the bread-and-
butter argument of the demagogues is absolute rot.
That argument, in brief. is that reduction in the
number OF elective city Offices means reduction in
the number OF jobs, in the amount of employment,
for the laborers. j. i blu .as-..E
The fact is that under an efficient charter there
will be less money running to waste and more money
for employment. .E@t a-.. n
1t might be pointed out that this same type of
demagogues declared that under the frontagetax
system all the roadaborers would be thrown out Of
jobs. or course this was silly Since the road inn
proyements began to open up under the frontage
tax, there have been twice as many laborers employ
ed on this class of construction as before. i
A few definite statements of this sort will do
mnch to clear the eyes of those who have been mis-
led by scheming politicians and loud-mouthed dema
gognes.
The campaign of education can be carried on in
precinct and district meetings, in improvement
clubs in systematic publicity, in frank conferences
with the stevedores union and other organizations
The Chamber of Commerce has declared that it
means business-that the fight will 60 this year,
next year-as long as necessary. That is one def
mite effect of the spectacular which aroused
The chamber to real action. 1t is now entirely evil
dent that the fight is of education in the future
as rel as action IN the present.

William III. Heen. deputy attorney general, is a
young American citizen who has conducted himself
well and made good clean, promising record as
deputy county attorney of Hawaii and deputy
attorney general of the territory.
The department Of justice recommended him and
President Wilson appointed him as circuit court
judge for Oahu The appointment went to the judi
cary committee of the senate for consideration and
now comes news that it has been held up in com
npittee beeanse of protest that Mr. Heen is part
sChinesc
Such protest ought TO arouse unanimous con-
domination in Hawaii 1t is absolutely unfair and
absolutely un4imeriean. Particularly it isl gross
injustice in Hawaii He is also part Hawaiian.
The combination of bloods has not untitled him for
American citizenship, as he has shown by his con
duct in the modest offices he has held They were
held with credit TO him. @
That the protest is made on the grounds that
"Bily" Heen Is part Chinese is additional reason
why he should be confirmed-as a rebuke TO narrow
mindedness
