How Hawaii Can Help

One immediate and absolutely effective way to
meet the possible shortage OF foodstufs in Hawaii
is for ninety families out Of every hundred in the
territory right now to cut down their rate of con
sumption. -
Ninety families out OF every hundred are con
Stunning considerably more than necessary in certain
lines OF Iuxnfies And shipments of needless lux
uries here take up cargo space needed for neces-
saries This is seIfeyideht and England has met ex
actly tle same situation by placing the ban on the
importation Of unnecessary articles
Perhaps ten families in every hundred in Hawaii
are down to a bedrock basis they are consum
ing no more than is absolutely necessary. But in
most eases It will be found that good many arti
cles may be dropped altogether Without sacrificing
health comfort or craving Of appetite
II is hardly likely that Hawaii will have to face
any material lessening Of the food supply. The
United States government realizes the situation 81
these Islands and is not likely TO demand that our
freghters be taken from the Coast Hawaii run. Yet
it is barely possible that cargospace will be sahsta
tally lessened.
The United States is in the war now. We have
got to face every fact resulting from that main fact
We have got to face possible and probable results
not as alarmists, not in hysterical timidity, but
coolly. deliberately, fully, understandingly.

The time has plainly gone when a country can

"Of course If a concern is not producing some

shift to something that is But there will be ample
