Aloha To the Maui!

Honouns salutation Of deep-throated whistles
10 the steamer Maui This morning expresses the en-
thusiasm with which all Hawaii greets the new flag
ship OF the Matson Navigation Company I.
The greeting constitutes also part Of the express
sion OF aloha which all Hawaii feels for that
energetic captain Of industry, Captain William Nat
son The Maui is peculiarly a Matson enterprise
combined with Hawaii backing ..
1t has been the pleasure OF Hawaii to greet a
steady succession Of Matson Navigation COMPANY
vessels on their maiden voyages, dating from the
days when steam navigation was an experiment.
Most people now here remember the receptions TO
The Lnrline, the Wihelmina, the Matsonia and the
Aanoa and the Maui brings the list OF achievements
TO a Temporary clmax-tempOfary because the Mat.
son company is still growing. II will add many
more vessels 1t is Hawaiis home company and the
tendency is to develop Hawaii's own resources in
shipping as well as in production and manufacture
OF cane sugar, pineappes and other commodities.
The story is now generally known that Captain
Matson could have made his fortune twice over by
putting certain Of the company's big steamers into
the war service but he held steadily TO the island
trade, on which his prosperity was founded, and
the company maintained rates which are low In com.
parison with what could have been reaped from the
war business. That fact was prime factor in Ha.
waits extraordinary prosperity of the past two and
one.half years.
New occasions teach new duties. The Matson
company already has big problem to solve in the
pressing need of Puget Sound ports for direct
freight communication with Hawaii Chambers of
Commerce and businessmen there are urgently de-
sirous Of developing trade, and Hawaii viii benefit
by their trade. The placing of the Maui in service
with Its large freight capacity gives the only oppor
tunity now seen OF putting another Matson vessel
on the Puget Sound, Hawaii run. May the coming
of the Maui today mean not only the arrival Of al
splendid liner but the rounding-out OF Hawaii's
coast trade by making possible steamer for the
northern run.
s To Captain Matson, to Captain Peter Johnson OF
the new flagship and his Officers and crew, and to
the passengers on the Mani zmany OF them disting.
uislled men and women Hawaii extends its Aloha!

sssorsticns which made the agreement have commits
sion to speak for the individual American newspapers
All patriotic newspapers in the United States will
instantly recognize the necessity for and Loyalty Oh
serve censorshipsof news not only when the coun.
try is in state ofwar, but in the present period OF
suspense. Such censorship is already in Operat. Ii
by voluntary agreement with respect to shipping
news. and it is obvious that there would be put,
LEGATION Of information that is likely TO be Of aid Ia
the national enemy. But beyond this no censorship
should go. Englands experience during the pres
ent war has furnished abundant evidences of the
stupidity to which a news censorship can be car
ried and in Germany the process actually has been
carried to an extreme only to be justified on the
assumption that the continued loyalty and support
of the civilian population can only be insured by the
suppression OF the truth concerning the political as
well as the military policies of the government.
In this country conditions are so different that
far better results are to be attained by the voluntary
and intelligent cooperation of the newspapers than
by the application of drastic rules the execution of
which must of necessity be left in the hands of men
without experience and too often without discretion
And above all things, the American people
less the newspapers wil not submit to any form of
censorship that aims at control of political opin-
ions, a suppression of proper criticism of public
policies. =
There may have been no intention to suggest any
such form of political censorship in the proposed
regulations promulgated from Washington on Sat
urday but one of them is, to stay the least ambigu
ous 1t ought to be plain to the federal admnistra
ton that in the absence of legislation on the sub
ject no regulations on SO important matter should
be put into effect without full consultation and con
ference with the newspapers if loyal cooperation
expected. The press associations have no commits
sion to speak for the American newspapers, and in
view OF the fact that the proposed regulations seem
to have been issued by Secretary Daniels in disre
gard Of promise that nothing would be done in
this direction without previous conference with the
newspaper Representatives, they must be regarded
as tentative suggestions only. We do not believe
that Congress- Will 60 50 far to ordain that gov

The legislative revolt against Speaker Holstein
that developed late yesterday ought not to succeed
in unseating him, merely on the basis that he
I .libustered, against the Molokai junketing trip
That trip is piece of costly folly, not for the bene
fit of the epers at all but for the benefit of the poll
ticians, and Hawaii q good while ago made up its
mind to separate politics and the leper settlement
Speaker Holstein, it true, used his libuster with
consi derable parliamentary ruthlessness He might
much better have fought his fight on the floor Of the
house and deeired his unyielding opposition to the
junket but without defeating the trip BY parlamen

the leaders Of the have been particularly scru
puious in their parliamentary tactics this season
