HAWAII AND THE WAR BONDS.

Uncle Sans new war bonds are to be on
the market In today's advertising columns appears
forecast of the forthcoming proposal signed by
nine of Hon0lulus leading banks and trust com
panes pointing out the appeal to patriotism well
as to sound business sense which war bond invest
ment carries. ....
Hawaii should and will subscribe generously to
these bonds They may be secured in large blocks,
or, coming in small denominations, are available to
the modest investor. Many man or woman who
cannot get actively into the service of the country
against the common enemy can do his or her share
by helping to raise the needed "sinews of war"
The attention of the Star Bulletin has been drawn
to the fact that no provision exists whereby Ha
wall and the people of Hawaii will be given credit
for their subscription to the loan. This should
be remedied What Hawaii does as patriotic duty
should be recognized and the financial institutions
ought to work out a plan for registering Hawaiis
subscriptions with the treasury department in
Washington. The Chamber of Commerce has here
an opportunity to that the people of the terri
tory get the recognition to which their subscrip-
tions legitimately entitle them. 1t is understood
the subject will be taken up by the chamber next
week.
In the meantime get ready to buy war bonds.
That is way of helping to win the war. France,
in dire extremity, raised tremendous "Loan of Vic
tory" The United States can do it and Hawaii can
help. #.

Food Crop Production Must Be ymazed Meet awaTs Emergency

At least dozen garden movements have been
started in Hawaii in proper spirit of patriotism
but with no plans whatever for cOrrelating them
with each other and working out territOry-wde
organization which will handle the foodstufF pro
duction problem efficiently.
Most of the public schools. thousands Of indivi.
dual pupils and scores of teachers going along
on their own line--and ii is a good line.
The planters association experiment station is
beginning important experimental wOrk-and il is
promising work.
individual plantations are already cuItivating
considerable iracts-and this is audabe enterprise.
The territorial marketing division is encouraging
agriculture among the small producers Of the terri
tory, and is handling substantial amount of seeds
aud plants--and this, too, is comInendable
The L. =. experiment station, through its limited
field agencies, is promoting interest in market gar
dening-and doing what ii can to increase the grow
Ing of food crops. #....~.
The Boy Scouts have now enlisted in the cause
meeting Of scout officials is to be held tonight to
discuss plans for turning the Drumming energies Of
the youngsters to this fine cause.
Mr. Allan Herbert is going steadily ahead with
his Vacant Lot Culture" idea, listing vacant lots
In the city and securing families willing to cultivate
these for the produce to be obtained.
The women's branch of the Navy League is re
ceising instruction from expert agriculturists
directed toward backyard and vacant lot cultiva-
ton.
The Maui County Fair and Racing Association
has decided to encourage childrens gardens through
the offering of trophies for competition. Other
county organizations will probable take action
along similar lines.
These are but O. few of the many garden move
ment now under way. Not one but is useful not
one but will be OF some value in helping to Feed
Hawaii First.
But with all these agencies in the field and more
springing up daily, there is imperative need for
some big broad, comprehensive scheme to see that
every effort il wisely directed that there shall be
no overlapping no waste no conflict. For instance,
there is altogether too muchsplanting of radishes
and lettuce and too little Of some of the more neces
safy staples.
There is a disproportionately large number of
willing gardeners compared to the number of men
available to give expert advice. And one big phase
Of gardening on a huge scale is scarcely touched
that Of bringing the producer and the consumer into
quick and effective touch without adding to the

price the services Of unnecessary middlenen.
Before the people Of the territory 60 into garden
ing great scale, il should he known exactly
what food crops are needed here to supplement the
available rations, The army knows this and is per
fecty willing to disseminate the knowledge through
proper channels.
Another problem-large in tself--s that of keep
ing down the prices for cattle hog and chicken feed
Within the past few days the Star Bulletin has pub
lished information concerning the stock feed Situa
tiOn which is startling. Prices are going high
that dairymen face extinction of their business,
ranehers must slaughter their hogs, pOultrymen
must get rid Of their chickens. serious inroad
the available supply of fats is threatened
1t is Obvious that more feed should be raised here
Such crops as alfalfa, stock peas and corn must be
started at once.
All this is bare suggestion of the many questions
Hawaii faces because of the national and territorial
shortage in food supplies. The questions cannot be
put off until next month or next year. The pres-
dent Of the United States and the secretary of agr
culture have issued emphatic warnings to the Amer
lean people. Rising prices had already warned the
consumer that the nation must raise more food.
In Hawaii there is tremendous amount of un'
occupied land for which labor can be secured if the
resources of the families are intelligently "mobi
lized' OF course, any huge general scheme, in case
Of blockade, will require plantation labor and it
is a fact that plantation men have already patri-
otically prepared to strip some of their caneland
if this becomes necessary, and put in emergency
food crops. But there is an enormous amount of
land not now cultivated which can be made to pro
duce .."*-
There is no lack of willing helpers There is no
lack of volunteer energy. There is no lack of ac1
tiyity already started But there is something lack
ing-a scheme which will eorrelate all these ac-
tivities without destroying any of the initiative al
ready enthusiastically displayed
One of the high officials of great agency said the
other day that he would like to be able to spare the
time to take hold of this situation. He sees the
necessity for organized and united effort.
Somebody, some representative committee, ought
to make the time. The nation is coming to the sys
TEN of public food control and Hawaii will have to-
come to it, too, unless there is voluntary move
ment now to handle the situation before it becomes
so grave that stocks of food must be seized and
either military civil authority take full charge of
agriculture ..".- j..

SPANS GROWING TROUBLES.

SPANS internal troubles eliminating on Thurs

war on Germany, but pressure has kept Madrid
rom breach of diplomatic relations with Berlin.
Count Romanones. retiring as premier, warned
the government against continuing the restrictions
which prevent Spain from taking more active mea-
sres TO protect the interests of the people This is
plain hint that King Alfonso should abandon
neutrality and follow the lead of the United States
In statement to the Associated Press few days
aeo Senior Gimeno, the Spanish foreign minister,
declared it necessary for Spain to observe absolute
neutrality.
I'VE are most DESTROYS to cooperate with the
United States in every way within power said
the minister. "But in this case our internal condi-
tons made it essential for us to observe absolute
neutrality. Being on the continent of Europe in
stead Of across the Atlantic it should be remember
ca that we are considerably nearer the conflict
than America. We have among us, too, different
shades Of opinion which very strong and need to
be recognized and harmonized. These conditions
affecting our internal political affairs were so strong
that strict adherence to neutrality was positively
the only course open to us. And so our responses
to the American communications have been framed
with the double purpose of acting in accordance
with the necessities of internal political affairs
and at the same time preserving and enlarging
those relations of friendship which now bind Amer.
lea and Spain so strongly together"
