what is perhaps the most remarkable
record of inconsistency to be found in his

Presidents record he will probably find
IL difficult to recall any instance in

would only stand still.
His league scheme. which happens for
the moment to be in the ascendant in his
mind. Is completely opposed to every
thing he said, thought and wrote upon

life until a year ago, he said, thought,
believed and taught that such alliances
| were unconstitutional and vicious. All
the arguments that are made by oppo-
nents of the league he reiterated over
and over again.
Less than a year ago, when he had
concluded to Junk the convictions" of q
lifetime, he said the United States, mean

stances enter any alliance that did not

| contradiction in terms. This was in
answer to Clemenceaus balance of power
proposition. Yet the sound was hardly

did the very thing he said he never would
do These things are not exceptional but
Characteristic They are the things he

BANANAS

w A. Anderson, one time Maui resident and good citizen, deserves
every encouragement in his banana growing enterprise.
Given adequate transportation facilities the banana industry of
these Islands should soon rival in importance sugar and pineapples
That we have not these facilities lis HawaIis own fault. We have been
asleep.
For Hawaii can grow bananas. No one can doubt that. And
there is a demand on the Pacific coast and in the western states and
Canada that could scarcely be over supplied. Besides this field is logi-
caIy ours.
Thousands OF acres of land on all of the islands unsuited to any
important commercial crop at present would grow bananas to perfec-
ton. And these bananas would supply tonnage to fast passenger ships
the lack OF which tonnage has always been interposed as an insur-
mountable obstacle when this class of ships has been urged for the
tourist business. That the tourist business and banana business go to-
gether is not merely a surnise. The United Fruit Company (he ban
ana trust") has demonstrated it through its great white fleet between
Atlantic ports and the West Indies.
Mr.. Anderson states that he is assured of suitable cargo space for
the output of his proposed Nahiku enterprise. This would seem to be
the one necessary assurance to make it a success. His offer to the
Nahlku Rubber Company shareholders is believed to be a very reason
able one.
AS before stated, MI. Anderson should be encouraged in his pro-
Jet, and we believe he will be. People who have money thew can
afford to take some risks with, should find the proposed banana COM
pany an interesting proposition.
II should re remembered, however, that until it hos made good the
project cannot be else than a speculation; and that most people of small
means nave no business to speculate at all. Maui can afford to do her
part IN the development OF a new industry, but she cannot afford an
other rubber plantation boom.

LOSING OUR FOREIGN TRADE

Bishop Restarck recently in the course of a sermon sounded a warm
ing to labor of the danger through unreasonable strikes, of forcing
capital to seek an outlet in foreign lands. But we are also told by a
writer of the national foreign trade council that we have already lost
seriously in the export field through high costs and difficulties OF var-
Gus kinds, particularly transportation. He was not writing with the
strike problem prominently in mind, but it should be clear to any
thoughtful person that, unless we can quickly get our house in order and
get down to business, a good deal of the business will not be there to
get down to.
The writer says
One of the most disquieting effects of the high prices of American
manufactured goods and the difficulty experienced by oversee merchants
in obtaining deliveries is the stimulus given to the industrial develop
ment of countries which, but for the war, would have found it quite
impossible to compete with the highly organized industries of the Unit
ed States and Europe. High prices, high freight rates, and lack of
transport are likely to prove more potent aids to the establishment of
manufacturing enterprises in the newer countries than a protective
tariff with duties of 1000 on imported goods. The difficulties of OBJ
tanning machinery and skilled labor, although great, are not insuper-
able. In the opinion OF the National Foreign Trade Council, a con-
tinuance of the present state of affairs will inevitably lead to the growth
of manufacturing in many countries which have hitherto afforded large
markets for our products, and this may involve serious changes in our
export trade. In this connection, it is interesting to note that during
the war many industries quite new to India arose to fill the void left
by the stoppage of exports from Britain, and that many types of ma
chnery and mechanical fittings are now being successfully manufac-
tured there. The Bengalee is a capable artisan when properly trained,
and it is hardly necessary to add that his labor is not of the highly
paid variety. The development OF a prosperous iron and steel industry
in the Transvaal-where coal and iron ore in inexhaustible quantities
exist in juXtaposiion-s already becoming practicable. In Australia,
too, the manufacture of wooden goods is attracting increasing attention
While such industrial development is bound to come to all coun-|
tries possessed of the necessary raw materials, it is unfortunate that
time when a wide demand for manufactured goods is needed to ensure
full employment to American industry. 1t would seem the part of wis
dom to prevent further developments of this kind, whenever possible
by setting aside a definite percentage of factory output to- supply to
those countries in which manufacturing is not highly developed, the
goods which they cannot do without.

MIGHT DO EN- GOOD

III any ense u TO their own efforts. 1t didn't used to be. AS to their
getting better pay it may be taken for granted that any increase thew get
will be insufficient.

THE LANGUAGE SCHOOL, QUESTION

r. H. Trents proposal that a special session Of the legislature be
called to deal with the Japanese language school question deserves more
than passing consideration. That the AID Club promptly endorsed the
proposal is significant of the feeling that exists on the subject.
The foreign language schools must go. They have no place in an
American community. There is little doubt that they will get short
shift when the legislature does have another chance at them. Public
sentiment hadn't crysaized when the matter was up six n seven months
ago. The issue was then more or less foggy. Today it is clear-cut,
positively defined.
1t is nearly a year and a half till the next regular session of the
law making body. The question Mr.. Trent raises is simply, do we
want-can we afford to wait that long?
This is the only question to decide. The fear of the effect upon
the economic situation in the islands will doubtless urge against the ex-
ira session plan. The fear may be well taken. In another l8 months
it seems possible that Japanese opposition will largely have died out
In view of this probability it might be well to weigh carefully the ad-
vantages to be gained by immediate action.
How are they going to do it? The Hlo Post-Herald indicates the
serious situation which confronts the new Waiakea homesteaders in the
following paragraph:
"The Waiakea homesteaders should be making strenuous efforts to
obtain labor to cultivate their canehelds. The milling company is doing its
best to meet the situation, but there is a great shortage of laborers.
1t is strictly up to the farmers to do their level best to secure labor some
how or another

Superintendent MacCaughey is appealing to the supervisors of the
counties to provide the $1,000 needed to see the federal school survey
now being made, through to completion. The Oahu board is said to
be hanging fire on the matter doubling the legality of such expenditure
Mr.. MacCaughey should be assured that the money will be available
even If 1t takes one more of the numerous drives to get it. The i'm
portance of the work being done by DR.. Bunker and his associates is
far too great to be stopped short of completion.

ROCK-BOTTOM ECONOMICS

The factors and processes of the industrial world of America are
closely inter-dependent. Everything that is bought has. its bearing on
the employment of a long line of workers going back to the ultimate
source of the raw material from which the article is made. AT the
far end of that line stands the man or woman who obtains the raw
material from the earth-for the earth or products of the earth is the
source of practically all raw materials.
Next stand the workers who advance the raw material through
the various processes of development and manufacture. Then the men
and women who transport the article and distribute it and finally those
who sell it to the ultimate consumer.
When you buy foohshly, unnecessarily or extravaganty, you dis
rupt that long line of workers upon whom the community and the ma
ton depends for its necessary supplies. By just so much, you inure
yourself and every other consumer which means every citizen of the
United States. When you buy wisely, inteligenly and reasonably,
what you need, you do your share to keep the workers of the nation
employed in healthy, normal, essential procession of production.
Thrift is not parsmony. Thrift is a necessity for the improving
of conditions which now face this nation. To spend money fooishly,
unnecessarily or to no good purpose is to disrupt the production system
and throw away financial and material resources sorely needed to reduce
the cost of necessities. On the other hand, it is not necessary to refrain
from buying useful and necessary things. The endeavor to get along
without the things actually needed is not thrift but parsimony.
Thrift consists of wise and intelligent buying, wise and intelligent
use of what is bought, wise and intelligent saving and wise and safe
investment, such investments as War Savings Stamps, Treasury Saw
ings Certificates and Liberty Bonds. By following those precepts of
thrift you will do your part to restore healthy normal processes of in
dustry and commerce and solve the problem of the high cost of living.

The law doesn't seem to provide any protection for the home mer-
chant against the transient who comes in just before the holiday season
to skim the cream off the years trade. This is a defect that ought to
be remeded. But the newspapers don't have to rub it in by boosting
the game of those who are here today and gone tomorrow, taking their
profits with them. Anyway, The Advertiser isn't going to play that
kind of a trick on the Honolulu merchants. We don't have to have
that kind Of advertising and we don't want it. We don't believe in
taking an advertisers money with one hand and stabbrg him in the
back with the other.-Advertiser.
This might apply as well to Maui except that Maui merchants seem
convinced that they have solved the problem of getting along without
advertising. Honolulu firms aren't wise to this art yet and so do all the
advertising. 1t must pay, too, or they wouldn't keep it up.
