JAPAN NOT T0EMER
FREIGHT AGREEMENT
Uchida Says Government Can
Not Regulate Rates

1t has been reported several times
from New York that the Frtente
Powers have decided to make air i, ,ee-
ment among themselves to restrict the
soaring tendency in ocean freight rates
and that Japan has been induced by
those powers to join this agreement,
says the Japan Advertiser of July %.
Mr.. Uchida, vice-minster of com
munication, gave his opinion on the
subject yesterday to the press saying
that in Great Britain, France and
America Legislation has been made to
control ocean freight rates in the hands
of the government, but in Japan the
government has not been given such a
power The japanese shipping com
panies are quite Independent of the
government in the point of their ser
vices and freightage except in the case
of the subsidized services. Therefore,
it is quite difficult for Japan to join
the proposed agreement.
Niscout lshn, Japan's special envoy
to the United States, who will sail for
the United States today, will explain to
the United States this circumstance
which binders Japan from joining the
proposed agreement to officially control
ocean freightage. Messrs. Miyazaki
and Inouye Of the department of com
munieations accompany Viscount Ishii
for this purpose.

Bandages--More Bandaqes

lTHE American Red Cross, through Henry p
i Dawson, the chairman Of the Red Cross wal
council in announcing the recent amalgamation OF
the National Surgical Dressings Committee with
the Red Cross and in presenting another urgent
call for all the surgical dressings that can be pre-
pared by the women OF the nation, issues a warn
ing against organizations forwarding anything to
France not especially called for and not prepared
according to the standards OF the Red Cross, re-
Gently altered to conform to the standards OF the
French war hospitals, tested and proved in prac-
teal use
1t is most unfortunate that at any time anyone
should have cast doubt upon the value and urgency
Of the making OF hospital garments, surgical dress
ings and bandages, or sought to have discredited
the work being done in these Islands by the wo-
men OF the Red Cross, of the Allied War Relief
or of any other association working for the men
lin the trenches At no time was the statement
that this work is unnecessary within shouting dis
lance of the truth. Roll bandages" was the in
variable response of the Washington headquarters
of the Red Cross to all inquiries as to what to do
I'VE need all the bandages we can secure from
all sources and then we will not have enough"
reported William Howard Taft chairman of the
Red Cross, Immediately on the outbreak of the
war, pointing out that the wounds of thousands

papers and straw through lack of proper dressings
while from the front have never ceased to come
calls for more and more hospital supplies.
Now comes Mr.. Dawson, announcing that
gical dressings and hospital garments needed
and the only things needed under the crcum-
stances. Nothing else can be sent to Europe, first
because these things are imperative and other
things-such as jellies and jams-are not, and sec
ondly because the freight pressure is great that
there is not room for anything else. His official
statement along this line says
Pressure upon shipping space has become very in
tense and is absolutely necessary that for the pres
ent nothing be shipped abroad which is impera-
lively needed Ocean shipping difficulties become

themselves merely to collecting funds WILL after hay
ing used their present funds according to the designa
ton of the donors divert their efforts soliciting
funds which may be utilized along lines for which
perience acquired abroad shows a paramount need to
exist.
The Red Cross has assumed administration of the
relief clearing house in France will continue
its functions. BY of the great pressure the
French railways it will be impossible for the war re-
lief clearing house to arrange free transportation after

unless there shall come soaking rain
followed by the normal raihfal and
unless these come soon, is the doleful
forecast that sugar men on Maui are
making, according to information re-
ceived from residents Of the Valley
Isle who are now in Honolulu. Various
reports on conditions there and the
status of the next crop have come here
from time to time recently but these
are the most definite figures that have
yet been offered. ~.
Estimates Heavily Cut
Estimates before the long dry spell
placed the crop of the Maui AqricnlJ
tural Company at 10000 tons. A loss
of 10000 would be decrease of near
ly thirty per cent. The decrease of
Hawaiian Commercial would be less
than ten per cent. While no figures

Maui Agricultural Company while
Pioneer is more like Hawaiian CONNER

threatened. II is evident that on the
basis of present raw sugar prices the
island faces loss that win run up in.
to millions of dollars. With the
certainty of a heavy shortage from the
North Kohala and Hamakua districts
of Hawaii, some shortage from the
North Hilo District and the probability
of so important shortage on Maui Il
is evident that revised estimates of the
crop of the Islands for 1918 will bring
a most discouraging reduction, one
which may be appreciably felt in the
world Is sugar supply. ".
Loss Of Twenty Per Cent ~.
One recent visitor at Maui speaking
of the conditions said:
1.-The young canes are suffering
but the amount of damage to the 1918
crop is appalling. Why, it is custom.
airy to irrigate the different cane
fields every seven or eight days but
there are fields here that haven't seen
water for seventy days. You can.
imagine how dry the fields look This
means, of course, decrease in sugar
tonnage of about twenty per cent for
the next crop. Probably more If the
elements don't wiki-wiki with some
much needed precipitation. tun 49,.

to l4,000,000g II gives me heartache
to see so much loss when all our en-.

supply"
The estimate of the Maui crop was
1879 tons and twenty per cent
loss on. this estimate would be %, 444
tons which at present prices of sugar
would mean a financial loss of close to
four and half millions.

In Denmark the German mark is now forty-sev-

recently deposited twenty. million marks in gold

IN contrast, is extremely favorable in all foreign
markets except the Scandinavian and Swiss. These
countries are exporting more than they import, but
the eXgences OF war have made it impossible for
American buyers of merchandise from these two
countries to ship the gold with which to pay for
their purchases. Liquidations have had to be made
by exchange, instead of with goods or gold.
