GREAT BRITAIN AGITATED
BY END-OF-TIE-WAR ISSUES

LONDON. Monday. September L.
Political activity will evidently be re-
sumed long before parliament reas-
sembles in October. Premier Lloyd
George is expected to remain in
France another fortnight. but he has
already virtually finished his holiday.
Interest here centers about the new
campaign by the newspapers. which
is reminiscent of the one which over
threw the Asquith government. 1t
seeks to make Andrew Bonar Law.
government leader in the house of
commons, the scapegoat for any gov
ernmental mistakes and shortcom-
ings, and to exonerate the premier on
the ground that Mr.. Bonar Law was
virtually acting premier in London
while Mr.. Lloyd George was engaged
at the peace conference in Paris. The
aim of the campaign seems to be to
discredit the conservative section of
the coalition government and to pre-
pare for the possibility after the next
general election of bringing into pow
er a labor cabinet of which Mr.. Lloyd
George could assume leadership.
A fierce struggle is also brewing in
the commercial field. now that British
ports have been opened to German
trade. Manufacturing interests are
already loudly protesting against the
admission of German goods, espe-
cially against German toys and opti-
cal instruments, on the ground that
British industry is just beginning to
successfully create business in the Sc

Palmer on Right Track.

Responding to an inquiry as to how
food speculation could be checked in
America, Mr.. Hoover replied:
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palm
er is on the right track when he en-
deavors to break down speculation
and seeks to secure powers never pos
sessed by former administrations to
enable him to accomplish this step.
The situation is one that may well
cause anxiety also from another point
of view. We are now coming into
flood of production of foodstuffs in the
northern hemisphere and will again
have d great surplus in the United
States. If in the meantime Europe
has not found credits 10 purchase the
coming winters supplies we are
likely to have glut and prices may
Deiow the cost of production 10
American farmers.
The present high prices of food are
not due to over exports to Europe
from the United States during the past
year That can be demonstrated by
the fact that we enter a new harvest
with larger stocks of previous years
production than at this time last year.
In fact the stocks of MANY commodi-
ties are the largest We ever had in
very much higher. If we are to ac-
count for the high price level on the
basis of over exports we should have
10 find a depletion of our national
stocks"
Problems Pointed Out.
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the
problems involved in the speculative
wave were very difficult to deal with
because it was world wide and not
confined to the United States.
The law OF supply and demand" he
continued. 'is not working normally.
and probably will not for another
year. While prospective food sup
plies for the next twelve months are
about equal to the apparent need, un-
stable political situations, recur-
ring shortage of shipping. shortage
of credit and combination of either
buyers or sellers will tend to create
great speculative waves and may in
fate prices to a point uncomfortable to
the consumer, or in the reverse sit
uation, unendurable to the farmer.
We will have a large surplus next
year and must have prosperous
farming community il we are to have
the world fed in the future and main
tain stability at home and abroad. 1t
is my own view that the situation
would not have been so acute IL the
blockade had been removed soon aft
er the armistice was signed. as was
urged by the United States govern
ment- The speculator would have had
his illusions destroyed last winter in
stead of now.
1T could also have been possible to
lave prevented great speculation had
we retained an embargo on exports
and thus kept the worlds spectators
puzzled as to the governments action.
The rise in foodstuffs. of course. took
place only after the control of ex-
ports had been removed. On the other
hand the general demand of the pub
lie made it impossible to continue the
control of exports as that control
tends to retard the resumption of
normal economic life"
Evening star., 1919-09-02
Reasons for Speculation.

This years speculations." Mr..
Hoover said, are due, in my opinion.
chiefly to the belief of food merchants
and manufacturers that when the
blockade was removed there would be
AN enormous demand for foodstuffS
and other commodities in central and
eastern Europe. This speculation was
not due to any important shortage at
present of actual supply. This specu-
1ative fever. which was not confined
to foods. was greatly stimulated by
the long delay in the removal of the
blockade until the peace treaty was
signed at Versailles. There is plenty
of evidence that this was true of
foodstuffs in glutted ports in north
ern Europe, where only neutrals have
the means to buy"

had "gambled" on sales in Poland,
CZechoSlovakia, the Baltic states and

HAWAIIAN POPULATION
 IS RAPIDLY GROWING

HONOLULU, July 2 (by maiD.- The annual report of Governor c. J. Mccarthy to the secretary of the in- terior for the year ending June 30, 1918, has just been made public here Governor Mccarthy estimates the pop ulation of the territory at 256,000, an increase of 64,271, or 33.49 per cent, since 1910, when the last official cen sus was taken. Honolulu is estimated to have a population of 75,000. Of the total population of Hawaii, 100000 are Japanese, according to the gov ernor's estimate; 38,OOO Hawaiians or part Hawaiians; 10000 Filipinos, 22,OOO Chinese and 42,000 divided among the Caucasian races. Figures are not given for Koreans and other Asiatic races.
 Exports for the fiscal year exceeded $81, ,000,000, with imports aggregating $11, ,374,718. Sugar to the value of more than $7O,OOO,OOO was exported, with pineapples taking second place. The governor called attention to the fact that in recent years the Philip pines have been the chief source of labor for Hawaiian plantations.
 The birth rate for the territory is given as 36.71 per 1000. Board of health statistics show that the Japa- nese birth rate in Hawaii is 4287 per 1000. These figures recall the pre- diction made few years ago by ex- Governor L. B. Pinkham, that within twenty years voters of Japanese pa rentage would control the political des- tinies of Hawaii
