ARMYPLANS TOBUILD 25O MILES
1 OF MILITARY ROADS ON Island

in order to secure success, involving
combined capital aggregating in sew:
eral instances to equal two and one
half to three million dollars, the organ
lie act has not provided recognizably
economic method Of organization and
distribution. That some method can
be devised, it believes possible, and
it believes congress should solve the
problem.
1.-THE numbers of the population that
can be provided with agricultural
homesteads is limited particularly II
capital seeks to secure their lands, as
has been done on this island.
Here, of 1884 acres opened for
homesteading, 4,030 acres have been
secured by one individual, and only
ASA acres remain in the hands of 2O1
homesteaders; the balance, 3,490 acres,
being now in the hands of corpora
tons. The adaptable public lands on
the island of Oahu are practically ex7
hausted.
''The most admirable beach and
scenery we have to present is located
at Waimanalo, and practically lnacces-
sible. Here should be established a
suburban resort and village for resi-
dents, tourists, and those who-like
yourselves appreciate the delights of
a climate such as distinguishes these
aWaimanalo has no public source of
water supply. This must be secured
from adjacent private ownership.
"Waimanalo now comprises 21l0
acres of cane land, $50 acres of pas

If this passes from government control
we may dismiss the prospect OF becom-
ing completely desirable resort for

LET us do a brief sum. Deduct1ng
the above, we have left in these islands
29549 acres of cane land, which at 80
acres per homestead gives 9S5 home
steads. How are we to satisfy the re-
naming applicants? IT,, ...

PETROGRAD, Russia, Nov. 24.-In
a public statement issued late yester-
day afternoon, Trotsky declared that
the Workmen's and Soldiers Council
does not favor but is absolutely
against separate peace with the Cen
trail Powers. He believes that the
course outlined by Russia will be fol-
lowed by the proletariat of all other
warning nations and that peace will
be the result to come from it.
In his statement Trotsky again out.
lined the policy of the present Russian
government as representing the
wishes Of the Workmen's and Soldiers
Council and said that included in the
program were the abolition of all Sc
cret diplomacy and the informing of
the public of important negotiations
as they progressed, an immediate arm
istice for all of the warning powers
and not for Russia alone, during
which peace terms could be arranged
in constituent assembly to be held

Governor Pinkham Presents
Facts on Land Question
to Banquet Guests

Announcement that the govern
ment. has comprehensive plans for
the fortification and protection OF
the islands was made by Governor
Pinkham last night at the Chamber
of Commerce banquet, in the course
of an enlightening speech on the
land question. The governor declared
that $50 miles of military strategic
roads are to be built by the army on
Oahu for the quick movement OF
troops, guns and supplies wherever
needed. --e
The governor emphasized the fact
that the administration has ever
sought to encourage homesteading
and place the public lands in the
hands of the people.
He pledged the aid of the terri
torial government in fulfilling the de-
sires of the national government.
The governor in the course Of his
presentation made reference to the
attempts of a certain Honolulu poll
tician to hold up the government on
land deal for the army.
On the land question he said, in
part:
IN contemplating the means of
maintaining the population of these
islands, you cannot fail to note the
limitations of agriculture and the fact
we are not fitted for manufactures.
The climate you undoubtedly appre-
ciate to its fullest degree, but nature
in its prodigality of climate has failed
to furnish us with ample areas of
land. Her process of limitation and
distribution you have witnessed
81 have furnished you with an exact
official list and description of our
public lands and the conditions under
which they are held. ~
ANY conflicting statements should
not be accepted without investiga-
ton in the department of public
lands. ~
THE territorial administration has
favored and assisted demonstrating
where conditions are normal and cor
respond to what you understand as
demonstrating ON the mainland. It
has carried out section 73 Of the
organic act to the very limit Of its
requirements.
ut has and is providing, as lands
come back into its possession, ample
home and residence sites, and will
most earnestly continue this policy.
