MILK PRICES
TO BE PROBED
BY FOOD BOARD
Child Expects Public Opinion to
Force Down Price if it is
Shown 0airymen are Max
ina Excessive Profit

Il exhaustive Investigation of the
~ reasons for the rise in price OF
~ milk scheduled to take effect on
November l as announced By the Hc-
nolulu Dairymen's Association, will
be begun by the territorial food COM
mission at meeting to be held in
rooms OF the Hawaiian Sugar Plant
ers' Association, Judd building. at 2
o'clock next Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting will be open to the pub
lie.
Figures obtained by the Star.Bul-
letin recently tend TO show that, while
the dairymen claim that the increased
price OF feed has much to do with
the new rise in the price of milk, the
cost OF feed has not changed to any
material extent since last July. The
dairymen also claim that general over.
head expenses have increased, and
that the milk wholesalers have de-
manded a rise in the prize of the re-
tailed product.
Both the wholesale and retail prices
of milk will be investigated by the
commission, it was decided at meet.
ing lulS morning. f. ~.
IF II is shown that the dairymen
here are making an excessive profit
on their milk, then, when the an
nouncement is made through the
press, public opinion will automatical-
ly bring the price down." says j. +.
Child, federal food administrator for
Hawaii and assistant executive Of
ficer of the local commission, In this
respect, he points out that the ma
tional food administration has ruled
that it has no authority to regulate
the price OF milk.
Mr.. Child says that the territorial
commission is determined to go very
thoroughly into the question of the
new advance In the price of milk, and
some of the points to be considered
are the cost of milk, the cost of pro-
duction as compared with the cost
when prices were lower, the present
price of feed as compared with the
price prevailing a few months ago,
the price of supplies and the cost of
labor.

EXPECT PACIFIC TO BE
DOTTED WITH SAILS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. IA
Local shipping men see revival OF
the old sailing days on the Pacific,
in the governments recent order, bar
ring sailing vessels from the subma-
rine zones. This order practically
bars the Atlantic ocean to sailing yes
sells, except as far as the coastwise
and South American trade is con-
ceTned. s.... ~
The Atlantic sailing ships have been
accustomed to big profits in the Eu-
ropean trade the last three years.
While the risk from submarines was
great, the usual freight receipts for
one trip amounted to about $125,000,
and as the vessels only cost in the
neigh orhood of 100000, the owners
cn'Ild afford to take risks.
The coastwise trade does not offer
anything like these profits, SO the local
shipping men figure that Eastern own
ers will send their ships in the Pa.
eific trade and run between San Fran
cisco and Australia and Australia and
the South Sea islands. This field is
said to be more profitable than coast
wise trading.
The government barred the sailing
craft from the danger zones because
their slow speeds made them an easy
prey to submarines Also it is figured
that in entering other lines of trade
the sailing vessels will release steam
ers for transatlantic voyages. .-.-F

Japan's Opinion
Growing Against
Ship-steeL Deal
ispeci.l c.ble 70 N!npu JlM)


TOXIC. Japan, Oct. 26.-lt is an un-
profitable business for Japan to eX-
change her shipping with the iron
from the United States.
Such is the growing conviction
which now appears as dominating the
thought of the Japanese government
as we'll as the shipping and shipbuild-
ing circles.
When Viscount X. Ishii, head OF the
Japanese war commission to the
United States, prolonged his stay IN
Washington, it was learned that he
was deadlocked over the negotiations
with the proper American authorities
on TIE steel embargo question. Japan
wanted the embargo on the steel TO
be lifted in favor of Japan TO enable
the Japanese ship yards to continue
operation while the United States gov
eminent asked for Japanese steamers
to be used in carrying the American
troops and supplies in the Atlantic.
The United States, 1t was learned
from an authentic Japanese source. is
ready to grant Japan imports of 10O,-
600 tons of the American steel pro-
vided Japan supplies the Allies with
her shipping over 100000 tons. 1t is
on this suggestion of compromise that
Japan's public opinion is now growing
in sdisfavor, maintaining that Japan
will lose much more with her shipping
than she can gain from the American
steel -. ..E".

HALEMAUMAU DESCENT
DANGEROUS JUST NOW

y
Owing to the unprecedented rise
during the last few days of Halemau-
mau, L. w. De Vis-Norton of the
Volcano Research Society calls par
|ticular attention to the danger of at
tempting to make the descent into the
pit by means of the trail, or in any
other way. Visitors to the Volcano
should heed the warnings on the sign
boards, and refuse to make this
descent. irresponsible guides, look.
ing for gratuities, offer to take sight
seers down the trail, which is always
dangerous, but much more 50 now,
because of considerable movement of
the lower benches, which may start an
avalanche at any time. The view
from the top is really better anyway,

 The substantial men and women of Juneau are not fools. They detect real merit from the spurious They know that Judge Jennings has been of the strongest forces in a-Alaska for good government for the right for justice tempered with mercy, for respect for law and order and for all that cleanliness civic righteousness and good citizenship. They know that he has been just Judge, with single to the common veal and highest ideals that he has passion for the very spirit public vice. has devoted hours his official work acted more business through his court and been more uniformly sustained by the higher courts than any Judge that ever occupied the bench in Alaska.

 Alaskans rule easygong people, talk ing things they and making the best of things with little protest.
