THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS
BY JOSIAH L. RIVED.

(The Morning Journal is opening
new department for the discussion of
the League of Nations idea, under the
direction of Joseph +. Reed. Under
this heading articles will appear
every day Cut them out. Study
them See how far you can agree
with them. 1t is hoped that the public
will make this column their own. All
questions with regard to the League
of Nations will be carefully and cheer
fully answered.
We all know of the Quaker who
said Everybody is queer but me and
thee--and sometimes thee is bit
queer" Such complacency appears
ridiculous in an individual, but when
we find ii in a nation It passes for
patriotism. If one says, "All the ma
tons are queer except the United
States and the allies--and sometimes
the allies are queer" there is nothing
funny about it, II seems so true.
1t is very easy for us to criticise
our enemies. If we nut our minds
to it, we can even criticise our friends.
But when it comes to cfiticising our
selves we find it different. 1t makes
fer to think that if we are distrus~ad
in South America for instance, it is
not our fault but theirs. They do
not understand how fine we are.
There are many who feel that it is
unpatriotic now to criticise any ma
ton but Germany. However useful
this attitude may have been during
the war, it was never strictly logical.
and now that our enemies lie at our
feet and our task is to build IN
lasting structure of peace and JUS
tice, it is no longer appropriate.
What we need now is careful esti-
mate of the things we have to build
with
Our reputation among the nations
depends not upon what we think of
ourselves, but on what others think
of us. Have we given them cause
to distrust us? Let us see.
Our foreign policy was to be based
on the pure and immutable principles
of private morality One of the most
generally accepted Of these principles
is the Golden Rule" Now be fairs
Would you say that we had always

DR.. Rolls adds but another en-
dorsement TO large number received
from the medical fraternity, but here
tofore with the Injunction this Is
not for publication" Medical ethics
is a good thing, doubtless, but it is not
advantageous to the public when the
opinion of physician must be with
held from the people of the commu-
nifty where he practices. lest he be
charged with advertising"
For more than two months the
Journal has been gathering facts re-
garding treatment and prevention of
flu. For six weeks at least it has
been apparent that guarantees do
little good and that gauze masks are
better as "A preventive
But practically all students of the
epidemic, aside from those alleged
students connected with the federal
public health service, have declared
that vaccination against flu offers the
only preventive remedy.
Such was the announcement at the
flu conference held in Chicago a few
days ago.
Much may be explained regarding
the attitude of the federal health
service when it is understood there is
decided jealousy toward Surgeon Gem
eral Gorgas who was quick TO order
vaccination in the army camps, Also
another explanation is that there are
very few doctors in the federal public
health service who do not regard
their salaries Of $4,000 annually as
far better than they could make prac-
ticing medicine IN any city or town Of
the United States.
In addition TO the flu vaccine, there
is also a vaccine intended to immun-
lie from pneumonia, from which
eighty-seven per cent of the flu vic
tins die. The pneumonia preventive
is called lipo-vaccine and Is being
used by the army 1t makes you
practically safe from pneumonia for
eight months which would now
cover the bad pneumonia months of
f9ig--and the use Of the vaccine
only causes slight inconvenience.

SNOW DOWN THE
MOUNTAIN SIDES
A GREAT SIGHT
Heaviest Fall In Years In Plain
View OF Most Central
Maui Towns
COLD WEATHER ALL OVER MAUI

Wailuku and other towns of central
Maui were treated to great sight
Wednesday morning, when the slopes
of Haleakala were seen to be covered
with snow. From the streets and
houses of Wailuku the sight was
splendid, the snow coming far down
the mountain side and disappearing
among the trees.
And, oh, but it was cold for awhile!
The wind from the mountains was
almost like blasts from Alaska.
Everybody hustled into heavier
clothes and some overcoats were to
be seen around in the early morning.
The thermometer in the towns was
not down to the record, but the wind
from the snow-fields fully made up
for that.
The snow storm on the highlands
was preceded, before daylight, by
thunder, lightning and some wind.
Then came the snow, which started
falling on Haleakala first and then
reached down toward the lowlands
and Kula. In Kula the sight was
grand, the higher regions being
clothed in white, the snow, carried
by the wind, being as much as foot
deep in crevices and against obstruc-
tions. Kula became very cold about
eight o'clock-so much so that several
people took to their autos and came
down to the towns. In Kula there
was considerable wind, tree being
blown down near Walsh's place and
there being other slight damage here
and there.
The snow is said to have been the
heaviest in years From the more
populous region of Maui it could be
seen extending from Polipoli all
around the edge of the mountain, the
very top of the mountain, however, be-
ing obscured by clouds nearly all the
time.

Conservation Week
To Start Feb. Il

The women of Maui will begin their
conservation pledge drive on Febru-
ary IL, the work to continue for a
week. In that time it is hoped that
the number of signers may run into
the thousands.
A conservation pledge drive was
held in Honolulu early in December
and was quite a success. Much good
was accomplished and is still result
ing from it. Owing to Red Cross ac-
tivities at about that time, the work
here was not then taken up.
1t is pointed. out that the most
urgent necessity for systematic con-
servation exists at the present time.
From now until the Summer will be
the critical period, and everything of
an eXportable nature that can be saw
ed will help just that much.
Further announcements regarding
the drive will be made next week.

DISAGREEMENT AT HAMA
IS NEARING SOLUTION
Sheriff CrOwelI And Posse Return From Scene,
Leaving Everything Quiet And A Probability
That Differences Between Plantation And Con-
tract Planters Will Be Satisfactorily Adjusted
Honolulu Investigators

Sheriff Crowell and the six police
officers who went to Hama in a sam
pan Friday afternoon as reinforce
ments to the police of the district in
preserving order, returned to Kahului
by the Claudine on Wednesday, leav-
ing everything quiet and the Hama
police in complete control of the stu
alton.
The sampan, carrying the Wailuku
officers, reached Hama at about z
o'clock in the evening, after a smooth
voyage. Sheriff Crowell found every
thing considerably ''in the air." there
being every evidence of dissatisfac-
ton, as well as indications of i'm
pending trouble of a serious nature;
but it was not easy to get connect
ed story from anybody. He decided
to go at it systematically, first calling
for a conference with the plantation
people, which was held that night.
Next morning a similar conference
was held with the contract cane plant
ers, who were the complainants, at
the conclusion of which the sheriff
was in possession of the facts as un-
derstood by both sides. He decided
that the matter from first to last was
civil one, the police having nothing
to do with it; and that the duty of
his force there was to preserve order,
taking no sides, either physical or by
way of advice, one way or the other.
Briefly, it was found that 139 of
the so-called contract cane planters
