that group of islands long since
called the paradise of the Pacific"
About the time that Sandford B.

Hawaiian Islands under American

young lawyer in Troy, N. Y. who

Young Lee was a graduate of the
Harvard Law School. and while he
was in Honolulu he undertook some
important lawsuits for the Hawaiian
government. He made his home there

VIII Lenln Dominate:
With labor's upheaval coming, the
question naturally dominant in the
minds of industrialists and govern
ments as well, is how much the move
ment will be dominated by the ennis
saries of Lenin in Moscow. Undoubt-
edly Lenin is responsible for the
crystallization of wide discomfort
throughout Europe. His agents have
not lost a moment in perpetuatlon OF
schemes looking toward continentai
proletariat rule. But, While tney
have been busy in every labor coun-

made to recognize labor and organize

~ REAT and numerous as may

powers of Europe. difficult as may

the next three months. signs point
to a conflict which may shake the

Labor in every country of Europe,
whether it be of bolshevist tinge or
conservative in character. is uniting
for a test of strength against the
SO called capitalistic influences. which,
it is claimed. have kept the workmen
of the world in subsection.
While bolshevist tendencies have

hearts of millions of European work.

by the trials Of after-the-war recon-
struction and with little heart for the
great process of rehabilitation, dis
satisfied with economic and social
conditions. are advocating sweeping
changes, though decrying the vio-
lence of the red.
Reforms are demanded, and these
invariably embrace cooperative eco
nomic and industrial systems which
give the workmen greater voice in
their destinies. The bolshevists de-
mand complete control and the COM
plete expurgation of bourgeoise in
fiuences. While there may be con-
f1ict of theory between the radical
and more conservative laboring men
of Europe. there is unity in the fun
damental cries for change. sweeping
alterations in the present scheme Of
things.
Clinsing to Old Order.
On the other hand, the industrialists
of Europe. though realizing dangers
ahead, are clinging to the old order,
in so far as conditions permit them
to do so. and show little inclination
toward meeting all or even a greater
portion of the demands that the
workmen are presenting.
Ever since the armistice Europe
has been the scene of ever-increas-
ing labor disturbances. Today there
is not a country the public and serv-
ice enterprises of which have not felt
the blighting influence OF voluntary
idleness on the part OF tens of thou
