Worth Investigating

TINE war department has accepted Cuba's invi-
4 tation to use that island as a winter training
camp for portion of the National Army. If Uncle
Sam is looking for pleasant places within to train
his boys, why should Hawaiis claim be overlook
cd? There probably is not room the Leilehua
plains for many as division, but there is plenty
Of available ground OH the Island of Hawaii for
great camp, without the necessity OF doing more
than pipe in water supply. No expensive bar
racks are required g4 90 e.. .a
In the matter Of supplies, it may be pointed out
that the mainland need not be drawn upon to any
great extent Australia has food for export and
the only reason it is not being drawn upon to a
greater extent by Europe is because Of the long
voyage involved If fifty or hundred thousand
men could be sent to Hawaii for training, they
could be fed from Australia and release the food
they would otherwise consume on the mainland
for shipmentto Europe. 1t is not so great a trip
from here to Sydney and there are probably plenty
of Japanese ships available for the trade.
1t is suggested in some of the mainland publica-
tons that Uncle Sam may send an army to the
east front in Europe as we'll to the west front
and II so, the men trained in Hawaii would be
already we'll on their way toward VladivOStOk

Mead Heads Labor
Committee Of
Food Commission

Royal ID. Mead has accepted the APP
pointment of the food commission to
head committee to handle labof ques-
tons as they arise in connection with
the work of the commission. Mead has
power to appoint other members, and
will do so as need arises for such a
committee.
In a letter 10 the food commission
Mr.. Mead states that in regard to re.
port made by A. H. Case of Kauai that
a large acreage of new land will be
available for the 1913 rice crop, it is
his opinion that it would be a difficult
question to find the labor. Chinese
labOrers are not to be had, and even If
other Orientals could be found, they
would hardly enter into rice cultiva'
ton except under conditions which il
would be almost impossible to meet
w. W. G. Moir, county agent for
Hawaii, reports to the food commits.
sion that not much is being done in Ha,
waii in the way of supplying local
wants. A. number are growing all
they need for themselves, but they are
not producing surplus crops for those
who have none. NOR states that it il
hard to interest small planters in crops
which will not give them as high re-
turns as sugar cane. The growing of
vegetables is not as profitable to them
as cultivating sugar cane for the plan
tation mills.
