LETTERS
THE PARADOX OF THE PARADIeM

-... .., Honolulu, July 6.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: The fusion of the two essen
tails to a democratic army and, in
cidentally, thereby establishing ar
equitable state of existence is, over
and above all the clamor, moving sat
isfactorily though slowly. These two
essentials have heretofore been-ob
legation and law, and they have not
been changed, nor will they be any
thing else when the reorganization is
complete.
We are obliged to make the law and
oblige to obey the law and vice versa,
continuously.
The army as IL is today will hold
it, place at the front of this regenera-
tiou of principle, because it is the en-
bodiment of the actual part. Those
who come into the service through
channelsSof civil life are going to be
up against an odd proposition until
they are subordinated and realize what
discipline is The uniform does not
make the commander, but it is an in
dispensable part of him.
Most of the autocracy that the civil
ians harp so much about being in the
army exists solely in their magma
ton, in fact all the autocratie chaff OF
the army can be traced directly to
civilian ideas of soldering" The more
we get down to business the more
autocratic we seem, though In reality
the nearer our democratic goal.
That is '..seme paradox" to some OF

ABOUT THE SUBMARINES REPORTS.

The Chamber of Commerce is sending reassuring
letters to some 600 commercial bodies the main
land, pointing out among other things, that the re-
ports Of submarines in the Pacific are unfounded.
The occasion is timely to make one statement here
and now: There has been good deal said of "sen-
sational stories in Honolulu newspapers and "big
headlines" Passengers coming from San Francisco
have said that the steamship Offices blame the Homo
lulu papers for spreading the reports and hurting
travel" The fact is that the submarine reports
emanated from the coast and wer given most of
their unfortunate publicity on the coast The ludi.
crous mistake of identifying whale as a U!boat
was made on the coast, and coast censors let the
news 60 out.
Speaking for ITSELF the Star Bulletin says unequi.
Vqcay that the submarine reports were not played
up" in mis- paper, their probable fasity was point
ed out from the first and long before an official de-
NAL was made, or any action taken by any local
body, this paper printed reassurances. Anyone in
cned to question this statement of fact is invited
to 60 through the files of the Star Bulletin from the
beginning of the war and determine for himself
what the sensational publicity" really amount.

WHAT THE BRITISH MISSION ACCOM-.
PLISHED.

Britain's recent mission to the United States
now being carried further by Lord Northclife, is
credited with having accomplished great deal OF
real good. One despatch from Washington summed
up its accomplishments as follows:
Placed United States and Britain in closer SYM
pathy.
Effected far'reaching understanding in trade
matters, so Allies win be given preferential treat
ment in commerce.
Brought about probability of joint Allied buying
commission.
Arrangements made to have United States co
operate, so far possible in maintaining British
blockade.
Britain has disclosed means of further curtailinp
wasteful use Of tonnage
Definite understanding reached to cover both
American and Canadian wheat for sale to the Allied
wheat executive, Canada cooperating with United
States sE@# -,
Munition control and purchase to be centralized
through Allied buying committee.

THE MAN FOR THE PLAcE-GEoRGE RoTPH

Announcement may be expected almost any time
from Washington that George NJ. Roiph, general
manager of the California and Hawaiian Sugar Re
inning Company has been put in charge OF the coun-
trys sugar industry under the food control bill In
this position he will be one of Herbert Hoovers
rieht.hand men, Unoficial news has already come
here indicating that Mr.. Roph has been invited to
take the position. -, ,..-.

when Uncle Sam decides that for the purposes OF
successful war the country's food must be con-
troled 1t is doubtful if any other man is as Wen
equipped as Mr.. Rolph, looking at the matter from
the standpoint of experience, ability and character
istic interest and enthusiasm He knows the cane
sugar industry literally from the ground up In
Hawaii he had practical experience in the raw sugar
end. He has made wonderful success OF sugar re-
sfning in California. He has made close study OF
the beet sugar industry He is an expert at the sell
ing end of the refining business. His breadth OF

his capacity to handle critical situation, George
Rolph is the man for the job.

under any system Of federal control, sugar prices

There is no charity in the world more deserving,
more appealing than.that Of the Red Cross. It
Knows neither race creed nor color. 1t carries the
cross Of mercy into every quarter of the globe where
mankind knows appalling disaster.
Never was there such disaster as today with a
ton Of thousands slain tens Of thousands wounded
daily, with millions hungering with disease, wee,
horror spread over continent and with no end to
this horror in sight.
Why should the Red Cross have to beg plead,
eseech for the pennies the dimes the dollars with
which to carry on its work?
TO succor the stricken, to nurse the wounded, to
bury the dead, to protect the weak and the ailing
would seem to be enough but to these tasks colos-
sal today in the multiplied totals of the many lands
ID which the Red Cross must work, must be added
