Comments by Senators

"StartlinE," staggering, datouliH
ing" the "noblest utterance that mas
fallen from human lips since the Dec
laration Of independence, were among
tho expressions of senators. The Presl-
dent himself after his address SAID:
II have said what everybody has
been longing for but has thought I'M
possjble. Now it appears to, be pos
sible."
Points Made by President
Tho chief noin1s of the Presidents
adddess were:
That lasting peace in Europe
canno: be a peace Of victory tor
either side.
That peace must be followed by
definite concert Of power to as
sure the world that no catastrophe
Of war shall overwheIm it again
That in such concert OF power
the United States cannot w'tnne'd
its participation to guarantee peace
and Justice throughout the world.
And that before peace IS MADE
the United STATES government
should frankly formulate the con-
ditions on which it would feel JUS
ME for their formal and solemn ad-
herence.

Il am proposing that all nations
henceforth avoid entangllnG alliances
which would draw them into competitions
for power, catch them in a net OF IN
trigue and self-rivalry, and disturb their
own affairs with influence intrigued from
in a concert Of power. When all unite to
act in the same sense and with the same
purpose, all act in the common Interest
and are free to live their own lives under
a common protection.

consent of the governed; that freedom OF

Feeding Hawaii With Home Grown
Produce

Hawaii's food necessities, emphasized by the cur
tailment of cargo space from the Pacific coast,
throw into welcome relief the splendid work done
by school, and home gardeners in the territory,
starting last January. ~
From the example set by the thousands of school:
children and the hundreds of gublicspirited
energetic teachers who helped and guide them,
theer came noteworthy results. On every island
there a stimulus to gardening, and it is impos-
sible to tell exactly how far this new gardening
movement has gone in making it possible for Ha-
wall to get along on less import quantity than usual
The Maui bean is now coming into the local mar
ket, and consumers should patronize this home
grown product. First, because use of home grown
produce helps to solve the cargoshortage problem !;
secondly, because use of homegrown produce is the
only kind of encouragement to home truck garden
ing that is permanently effective.
Another great organized move to develop home
and school gardening is now being planned along
the lines of the Star-BulletiR contest which began
last January. As before, it is planned in coopera-
ton with the department of public instruction. An
nouncenent of details will be made shortly, and
within few weeks, thousands of sahool-chiIdren
all over the territory will begin their patriotic
"driye" r.. . ...%. s. .~.sssr
