ESTABLISH NAVAL
 BASE IN PACIFIC
Fleet Stationed at Pearl Harbor,
 Honolulu, Prohibits Wars

Honolulu, Aug. 29 Correspondence of The Associated Press )-War against the United States will be made almost prohibitHe for any Oriental nation through the establishment at Pearl Harbor base here of the grea ter part of the new Pacific fleet, accord ing to naval authorities. The arrival of the fleet late in August, it was de- clared, would make Pearl Harbor one of the greatest naval bases in the world and the most important to the United States.
 Naval authorities have said Hawaii affords the only possible location TOT a strong naval base in the Central Pacific Ocean for a distance of 4,OOO miles. It lies approximately 2,o0O miles off the American coast. If Hawaii were in the hands of an en- omy, according 10 local authorities, that nation could harass and threatcn the entire Pacific coast. To guard the Pacific coast against an enemy oc- cupying Hawaii, the United States Houd be compelled to keep a fleet many times the size required with Hawaii as an American base, it is declared.
 With the United States in COntr Ol of the islands, an Oriental nation moving against the United States would be compelled to work from a base 1000 to 5000 miles from the American coast instead of the Hawaiian coast, only 2,500 miles off
 Pearl Harhor, where the base is
 ituated is considered one of the best
 if not the best-natural harbors in
 he world. It has an area of 10
 quare miles and depth of more
 han so feet. It is 1andlocked and hips within the harbor are out Of
 few from the sea. The great new
 rydock just completed will be off
 ialIy opened by Secretary of the
 Javy Daniels when he arrives with
 he fleet. It Is 1929 feet long, 13S eet wide, and can handle any ship float or contemplated.
 The War department also has am lie sites at the channel entrance and lready has engaged in the construc- lon of protecting defenses. A con- iderable army force also is main aimed in the islands.

LIVING CONDITIONS
 BATTERED IN SOUTH
Negroes in North Said to Be ClamOrin8 to Return

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 20 Cor respondence of The Associated Press.) Plenty of farm and mill work bet ter wages than ever before paid and improved living conditions await Southern negroes who have gone te the North and who now are said to be clamoring to return to the South, according to employers here.
 Southern farmers and plantation owners want the Southern negroes back. If there were some method of setting in touch with them, 1t is de- clared, the expense of their return to- Dixie would be willingly borne. This few weeks. because there is need of negroes who know how to take care of the cotton crop.
 But these employers say they do not want Northern born and reared negroes. They would prefer 10 bring in foreign labor, they assert.
 We would not hesitate to pay the expenses of hundred or more ne- @roes from Chicago or other Northern cities to our place if we can get South- ern negroes, particularly negroes who have gone from Mississippi, Arkansas
 
 vice president and general manager of the Chicago Mill and Lumbe com rany, which owns more than 1000 acres of timber and agricultural lands in northeastern Arkansas. II think it is safe to say that every Southern negro in the North would be brought ] ack without expense to him if Southern farmers and plantation owners knew where and how to get n touch with the Sout hern-born We don't want and will not have No1th- crn negroes"
 The question of how to get in touch with negroes who have Gone North was discussed at the Memphis meeting of the Southern Alluvial Land association several days ago and the subject will be special order of business at the next meeting. The association is an organization of bankers, land owners, chambers of commerce. planters and lumbermen of the lower Mississippi Valley formed to serve, in a measure, the same purposes for the delta country as the cham ber Of commerce serves the town or citN. At the last meeting it was said that there is great leed for more labor in the lower Missis- sippi Valley and especially for negro labor acquainted with Southern ayrl- cultural methods and with cotton growing and handling.

April 4. 1919. The evils OF society.
the cause and the remedy. that is the
question. -
In pamphlet OF twenty-ope pages.
Mr.. Brown. distinguished lawyer OF
Minneapolis. maintains that the great
est and most menacing evil or the day
is Socialism and Bolshevlsm. MI.
Brown says not a word concerning
the cause or the manner OF curing
those evils. He mistakes the effect
for the cause. 1t must be that he has
no bump Of causaIty. The root and
the cause of Socialism and Bolshev-
ism is to he found in the extremes of
wealth and want These do exist in
every form of government except per-
haps New Zealand. where they allow
neither millionaires or paupers. OF
course there is a limit to the wealth
Of the world; when a few capture 1t
all the rest can take only what is
left, which is nothing. When the few
non-producers are permitted to cap
ture thousand times more than
their share, the rest must get tlou-
sand times less than their share. The
destruction of the poor is their pow
erty and the destruction of the rich
is their excessive opulence. IT.
In scripture we read: "Give me
neither poverty nor riches; feed me
with food convenient for me, lest |
be full and deny thee and say who is
the Lord; or lest be poor and steal
and take the name of my God in
vain" What has caused the spread
of Bolshevism. lawlessness and devas-
tation; what was the cause of the
American Civil war. the French ReNo'
luton, the decline and fall OF the Ro-
man empire and the recent world
war? 1t was nothing only the en-
tremes of wealth and want and the
dog in the manger policy. When the
poor and hungry multitude grow tired
of looking at and guarding mass
Of wealth which the spoilers cannot
hope to use. they may break away all
restraint and like a surging flood
carry in their wake death and de-
struction. There is over a large class
of spoilers who reap, where they have
not sown and gather where they .lave
not strewn In Rome, in France. Rus
sia, in every other country, and even
in this land of liberty, the rich have
made slaves Of the poor. Under the
Federal constitution the black man
had no rights that white man was
bound to respect, and the poor was
much the same as the black. After
the Civil war Abraham Lincoln saw
the corporations and exploiters en-
throned so that he trembled more fol
the safety Of the country than during
the time. Of chattel slavery. Since
then the railway corporations have

fortunes by exploiting the producers.
All this there is no denying. Indeed
the process of amassing and exploit

During the late war on the other
side of the Atlantic, there may have
been some excuse for advancing rail
way rates from twenty-five to fifty
per cent, and of that we say nothing.
Eut now, in this year of peace, five
months after the end OF the war, it
is rather amazing that those in con-
troll of the national government
should still persist in attempting to
maintain such illegal and excessive
rates in defiance Of the laws of the
states. However, our supreme court
has just held that the state laws are
laws and they may not be disregard
ed. They must be given full force
and effect.
