 CLAIMS.
LABOR MAKES QUERIES
President In San Francisco Says cenfsrenes Dealt Only With Lands Belonging To Empire Con-
 qucred By AIIles.

Aboard President Wilson's Special Train.-Just before President Wolson arrived in San Francisco on his tour of the county in behalf of the League of Nations, there came on opportun- ity for him to answer a vital ques- ton, concerning which, his political friends, as well as his political foe men, have lately been increasingly 1nsistent. The question was: How about Ireland?"
 PresIden. Answers Vital Questions.
 The president made certain replies to seriss of interrogations dealing with that problem, propounded to him by the San Francisco Labor Council, and now the whole Pacific Coast is eagerly discussing his re- sponses and what they meant. The queries were sent to MT. Wilson by telegraph as his train was rolling through the Sacramento Valley, and his explanations were made as soon as he reached the Metropolis of the Pacific Coast Question No. 1, was: Under the covenant does this na- ton obIigato itself 10 assist any mem Der of the League in putting down rebellion of it's subjects or con quered ,peoples?' Obviously this meant: "Ars we obliged to help En- gland put down Irish revolutions?"
 The answer was: Tt does not" Friends of Ireland took this to mean: !: We will not" Question No. 2, un- der the covenant. Gan this nation independently recognize a govern ment, whose people seek to achieve, or have achieved. their independence from a member of the League?" In other words, this meant: "Can we recognize Ireland's claim to being re. public?" The president replied: "The independent action of the United States in Q matter of this kind is in no way limited or affected by the covenant of the League of Nations" Tn other words. we can recognize Ireland when the proper time comes. without regard to the League" Cues tion No. &: Under the covenant arc those subject nations or peoples only

paying for that money borrowed dur ing the dark days of the early summer in 1918.
 It was the money that you loaned your government in those days. and in the loans that followed. that brought Germany to it's knees.
 The need of the government for money is just as great now as it was then, but of course it does not need the money in such quantities. The work of reconstruction is just as inn portant as the work of destruction.
 The interest money you draw from your Third Liberty Loan investment, invested in War Savings Stamps or Treasury Savings Certificates, would help your government, and it would give you the very best investment you can make anywhere in this or any other country.

that are mentioned in the Peace Treaty, entitled to the right of self. determination, or does the League possess the right to accord a siraiIar privilege to other subject nations or peoples?" This meant. for example, Why Poland. and not Ireland?" It was not possible for the Peace Con ference to act with regard to the self determination of any territory ex- cept those which belonged to the de- feated empires: but in the covenant, Article xI is set up for the first time, forum to which all claims of self determination. which arc likely to disturb the peace of the world or the good understanding between nationz can be brought
 Refers to Article xI.
 The section of Article xI, to which President Wilson reads. as follows: "It is declared to be the friendly right of each member of the League, to bring to the attention of the ss- sembly or council, any circumstances whatever, affecting international re- lations, which threatens to disturb international peace or the good un- derstanding upon which peace de- pends."
 Some persons interested in the Irish problem declare that this proyi. sion does Ireland no good, since she is not member" of the League. hut President Wilson's personal conten- tion is that Ireland can complain of my circumstance" she objects to. inasmuch as she is part of England. which Is, of course. member. Ques- tion No. 4: Why was the case of Ireland not heard at the Peace Con- ference, and what is your position on the subject to self-determination for Ireland" Answer "The case of Ireland was not heard at the Peace Conference because the Peace Con- ference had no Jurisdiction over any question of that sort which did not affect territories which belonged to the defeated empires. My position cn the subject of self-6etermination for Ireland is expressed in Article XI of the covenant, in which par ticularly was interested. because 1t seemed to me necessary that forum should be created to which all peo- rles could bring any matter which was likely to affect the peace and freedom of the world"
 Strong and Weak, Alike.
 By those who are accompanying him, it is known that the president believes Ireland can bring her case before the League for settlement, when the League is actually in ex- .istence, for repeatedly he has said in his speeches that, under Article XI the smallest and weakest peoples might have as much attention from the League as the greatest; in fact, it might be said that Article N is Mr. Wilson's pct" clause in the League covenant.

pie hold that the war and the Peace Conferences discloses as never before the sinister side of European civil ization. When the League of Nations was first proposed Japan was inclin- ed to favor the idea, and sent her delegates to the Peace Conference with that view in their minds, as the
 dea seemed to support principles of righteousness and peace between na- tlonS, that hitherto had been set at denance. IL seemed to Japan an ex- cellent means to promoting that equality and freedom between na- lons, which had been only too long neglected or completely ignored But no sooner did Japan make proposals that western nations act upon their professed principles of racial equality than she was suppressed and her pro- posal rejected. Under these circum- stances, 1t is very difficult for Japan ese to believe in the honesty and tug tice and humanity of western nations.
 It Is this feeling of disappointment and suspicion that has made the Japanese now more determined than ever to promote a Monroe octrine for East Asia. Their bitter experience at the Peace Conference in having tA4O AAS4oA-Clu1llly pIOpOSdl down has set them thinking anew, and they feel as if they did not know whether to trust western nations or not. In April last a mass meeting for the support of an oriental Monroe Doctrine was held at the big Hong- wanJi temple in Tokyo at which res olutions were passed asserting that the peace of the Far East has been in the hands of Japan, and that she intends to maintain this peace, in spite of the fact that certain western nations are stirring up trouble se- cretly in China. Japan intends to unite all East Asia in the determina- ton to maintain its independence and the protection of its honor and right, and will allow nothing to prevent her fulfilling her mission in the Far East. No foreign aggression will be tolerat- ed, and the Monroe Doctrine for East Asia will be enforced. Japan's re- sponsibility for China has driven her to this policy and she must maintain 1t at all costs.
 There Is a conviction in Japan that the defeat If our proposal for equal treatment of all races was due to the interference of the bigger nations at the Peace Conference. But this snub only stimulates the patriotic ambition of Japan's all the more and no doubt it will lend great impetus to our policy of making the Monroe Doctrine for Asia real. It brings into action all our latent national forces and directs them into channels likely to strength on our position in this part of the world. In this way our treatment at the Peace Conference has been a great boon to us, as it has proved a means of deciding us once and for all that a Monroe Doctrine for East Asia must be enforced.

KNIGHTS HAD !. C0NEY ISLAND
 IN FRANCE
But Resort Will Close With Other A. E. F.
 Features.

The nniniatu Coney Island of the Knights of Columbus located at the famous Pontsnezen Barracks which the Emperor Napoleon built at Brest. France, will shortly fall before the hands of the wreckers after having entertained more than 100000 American soldier boys on their way back home.
 Besides having furnished plenty of wholesome fun for the home weary men who were biHeted at Pontanezen during the period that elapsed before they were put board the transports, this little amusement place which takes in six city squares has been visited by nearly all the distinguished statesmen and leaders of the Allied Nations.
 News that the frankfurter stands and lemonade booths and sfde-shows were to pass with the A. E. F. was made yesterday by the Knights of Columbus. When the troops reach a minimum which means about 2,o0U men, the French Coney Island on the Brittany Coast dear to the heart of many returned soldiers will fall under the axe of the salvage crews The place was established by William J. MulnSans CndlTIndh OA IAO O'CA seas work of the K-C, who is now on the high seas bound for France to look after the salvage work of the crder.
 Among the illustrious men who have been impressed with the mlnia- ture resort which had everything, eX- cept the ocean bathing of the Ameri- can resort were: Pres. Wilson, Mar shal Foch, Sir Douglas Haig, Marshal Joffre, King Albert of Belgium, The Prince of Wales, Newton D.

ON ANONYlIC ACCUSATIONS

The MAUI News is in receipt of a letter from an anonymous writer
in which serious charges are made against a definitely named person in
Maui, and has asked that the letter be printed. AS the person who
wrote this letter is ashamed to even put his or her name upon the
letter to the editor, the MAUI News does not feel that it can accede
to the writer's request. The facts as set forth in the letter may be
true or not-the editor has no way of verifying them because the &C
cuser has not revealed him or herself. Therefore the MAUI News can
not print the letter. The MAUI News is always glad TO publish in its
columns letters regarding matters of public interest or abuses which
should be brought to the attention of the public. If desired the name
of the writer will be withheld, but names of letter writer's should be
divulged to the editor.
In newspaperdom it is considered unethical to reveal the sources
of news and honorable newspaper people stand by this principle. There
fore anyone sending in a letter to the editor who does not wish their
name to appear on the communication is at liberty to request that the
name be not published for the editor, like Brutus, is an honorable man.
The letter for publican can be signed Pro Bono Pubhco, or Constant
Reader or Steady Subscriber, or any one of a hundred bromide sigma
tures, but the originator thereof must, for the information of the editor,
place the true name upon the letter OF the request accompanying it.
The MAUI News is in the business of printing authentic news and
facts as correct as it can procure them. 1t is not in the business of
stirring up trouble for people who have not the courage of their CON
victions and who will not step forth and make their accusations in the
broad light of day. 1t is not a monger of idle, malicious GOSSIP, and its
mission is not to narrow the world of Maui to the dongs and petty
squabbes of Maui, but to bring the outer world to Maui, to the end that
Maui folk may obtain a broader outlook and be On the inside of the
world of affairs looking out, rather than the small boy looking through
the knothoe at the balgame going on within.

THIS COUNTRY NO FIELD FOR BoLSHEv1SM

Boshevism is vicious in its theory and criminal i'll its practices. 1t
has appeared in certain European countries which have suffered from
the domination of uninteligent autocrats, where vast numbers of the
people are uneducated and have had little or nothing to say about their
political and economic fortunes. IT is a pity that such peoples, mis-
guided by fanadcal or wrong-mnded leaders, have not been able to
seize the opportunity presented to them to lay the foundations Of
bcnehcent institutions and to proceed in orderly fashion. They will
cs, to make an about face" and to start on new lines. l have no
fear of boshevism in this country. l have no patience with that small
minority of men, many of them recently come among usunaCquainted
with our institutions and purposes, familiar only with institutions and
conditions radically different from ours, who seek to overthrow our
Government. do not believe that those elements are very strong or
will get very far. The people Of this country are committed to the
rule Of the majority and to the rule of law. There is no good cause
which can not get a hearing from or people. 1t is up to the mar who
advocates it to persuade the majority that he is right. If he can, he
can secure what he seeks at the polls. II he can not, he must abide
by the will of the majority or suffer the penalty. The majority will
violence. If aliens among us propose such a course, the quicker they
are put out of the country the better. If naturaized citizens who
took the oath to support the Government attempt it, the quicker they
are denaturaHzed the better.
l have no patience with those who advocate the rule of any class.
Democracy arose on the downfall of a class. Because Our forefathers
did not want class rule they deposed such rulers as the Stuarts, the
DOurhons, and their ~adherents. Their descendants and those of our
people coming from other free nations who have recently aided in de-
posing the German ruling class will not permit class rule to be set up
here. There is no one class in society that has more sense than all
the others. Any one class would make a sad failure of governing this
in favor of improving ON Government whenever the need for improve
ment is demonstrated, but not of upsettng it. 1t is time for us to re-
fresh our own minds IS to the real essence and meaning of our insttu-
tons and to bring them home to the unnitaed among us so that gov
eminent OF the Nation by all the people may endure. Every legitimate
effort should be made to counterfeit the schemes of the wild agnators
who seek to develop bolshevism in this great free country of ours.

OPEN FORUM
One Solution of the Problem

To the Editor: The Japanese Edu-
cational associations of Maui and
Oahu have recently requested suggest
ions from various teachers of the
Territory as to means or methods of
improving their language schools.
These requests were undoubtedly
occasioned by the attempts in our
last legislature to pass laws regulat-
ing Japanese language schools. The
following letter was sent by a Maui
pedagogue to the Association in
answer to this request, and | am send
ing it to you for publication:
at goes without saying that the
adoption of American methods in
general as to discipline and teaching
will improve your language schools,
but the main thing is to Americanize
your pupils as much as possible. To
do this you must teach them that
America (U. S. Az is to them of
first importance and that Japan is
second. This is a hard thing for a
native japanese to do but is absolute
ly necessary under the circumstances.
IN American schools teachers treat
Japan most ~courteOusly, giving her
all credit for national strength and
progress, but also teach that America
has the greatest and best democratic
government on earth; that in it peo-
| pie of every race and condition are
equal under the law and have the ut
most liberty possible; that it is a
| government of the people, for the peo
| pie and by the poole.
Teachers point to the lives OF
Franklin, Lincoln, Edison and 9th
ers to prove that under our free in
situations men born Of the low
lest rank frequently rise to the
highest.
"An outward sign of the intention
truly to Americanize your pupils
would be always to raise the Amer
lean flag above the Japanese when
opportunity presents itself"
Your respectfully,
|. A MAUI TEACHER,
