international Business

Even in the fervor of war; there is a good deal Oh
calm businesslike discussion among the nations OF
the allied groups - s
Uncle Sans stand on the shipping steel embargo
question is good illustration.
. Japan needed steel very badly - needs 1t still
just at the time when Japan is embarking on an
ambitious ship construction program including the
building of new warshps her capitalists have 1ouno
themselves unable to get foreign steel, ana thelr
home supplies, always scant,, are exhausted NO
other country but the United States could fur
nish it.
And the condition of the United States was that
japan should put into the common war service
considerable amount of its tonnage. Japan has
plenty of tonnage on the PACING and can spare some
of it for the Atlantic.
Exactly what the exchanges have been between
the Ishii mission and the state department. outsid
ers do moi know and probably never will know until
some diplomat, nearing old age, sits down to write
his memoirs But we know that Japan is coming
through with the tonnage wanted. We also know
that Japan and the United States have reached
an agreement on China, and We know that the
United States is releasing steel for the builders OF
Nippon.
1t is fairly evident there has been businesslike
deal of some kind closed in the last few weeks.
The United States has gone into the European
war without the slightest thought of territorial ex.
panson without the slightest ambition for foreign
conquest and without the slightest intention OF
reaping a national fortune from indemnities. We
have gone into the war for the sake of humanity,
and are beginning to put every national resource
into the fight The administration and the state
department are in morally and logically unassail
able position in insisting that those Allies who will
benefit in a material way by victory in the war
shall not withhold any effort or any resource.
Japan stands to benefit largely by an Allied vic
tory. She already has Kiaochau and many of the
German colonies in the Pacific. Her sphere of in
fuence in China has been UNNECESSARILY extended
since the war broke out, largely result of the
international situation caused by the war
1t is not asking too much of Japan that she put
a very substantial part of her shipping into the
common war service of the Allies. Toxic evidently
sees the situation in the same light

AERoPLANE ADVANCE RAPID.

The war thus far has brought to the fore the ny
ing machine to degree that in times OF peace Woui
have taken years and possibly decades. 1t has also
settled the question that the heayier-tha ar ma
chine the superior of the two types of aircraft 1or
all purposes, during either or peace.
The demonstrations by our flying men OF today
clearly show that close and efficient study of bird
flight has been made. Almost every move OF the
aeroplane is based on the methods employed by the
birds
Not only must the successful aviator make a study
of the positions of bird when flying, but must, IN
a sense of the word be born with the instinct ana
courage when in the air, to do as the birds do "
He must also have that tendency of gymnasts to
successfully initiate the feathered creature.
The principal feature of the flying machine now
occupying the attention of those who 60 up into
the air is the tail and it's manipulation. The tail
steades and directs the heavier than-air machine,
and without it the greatest invention of the genera
ton would be useless.
The lessening of the speed of the aeroplane at
the will of the aviator is an absorbing study at the
present moment. Close observation of bird life has
revealed the fact that depressing the famed tail is
generally employed by birds to lessen speed, espe,
cially when coming to rest after fight. The head
way is checked by the air rushing against the spread
and depressed tail.
One of the inconvenient and even dangerous
operations of the flying machine is in the landing
after fight announcement through the fact that
so much open space is required in which to bring
the unwieldy machine to rest. With the power to
depress the tail as in bird life, the operation of
landing would be much simplifed Another feature
that is being considered in aeroplane construction
is the depression or elevation of the wings indie.
pendent of each other In fact it is expected that
the near future will produce machine embodying
this desirable feature. :.,~

HOW SHALL WE PUNISH CRIME?

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: In speaking with a man not long
ago about punishment for the crime of
murder he said: Il believe hanging is
far too easy a method; a man who
commits this crime should be sGa: up
in a pen with neither food nor drink
and kept there until he slowly dies of
starvation and thirst" ...E=
AS |. thoCght over these remarks !
asked my el 1.-THE following questions:
Are we still living in the dark ages?
Has time turned upon its hinges and
the year 1891 B. C. taken the place on
the calendar Of the year 1917 A. D.?
Does the law still read, Eye for eye,
tooth fof tent1, hat. for IND, foot
for foot, burning for curuing, wound
for wound, stripe for stripe'?" Some
one has said that we are known to
the Orientals as tina whit. harhar-
ians." Do we deserve that epftlet?
Under the Mosaic law twenty-nine
crimes were punishable by death Both
uldL and BEAST were subjest u tbs
law, and an animal which killed a nsan
was held responsible and was put to
death, Later the Jews mG:;e a d:stinc-
tion between crimes that we're premed-
itated and those that were not. They
also made another step in advance
when they built "cities of refuge" to
which. the accused might flee in order
to secure trial
One should have no difficulty in figur.
ing out the fact that the death law is
a heritage of the past, as all primitive
people used this measure of punish
ment. This was done partly through
revenge and partly through the in.
stince of self-preseryation. and from
these was born the instinct of fear.

and so to kin whatever threatened his
life or be killed was the law of the

der of criminals is sanctioned by 1t.
The advocacy of the abolition Of cap
ital punishment is not visionary, but
practical, as can be proven by turning,
for example, to the II states in the
union that have abolished it and
adopted more humane treatment FOR
their criminals Some of the states
laid aside their death traps many
years ago and quit killing their crimi-
mails.
Why continue q brutalizing form OF
punishment when it serves no eco.
nonaic, moral or other good purpose. No
plan for dealing with crime can riga.
fully be maintained simply because it
was popular in the dark ages of the
past.
Can any one imagine the Christ
dealing out this kind of punishment?
1t Is out of harmony with Christian
and humane twentieth century poll
cies.
HOW long are the people of Hawaii
going to hesitate over a matter so i'm.
portant? It is time to wake up and
90 something. Yours for humanity,
