was that the Europeans. especially
the French and the Belgians. had over
estimated their capacity for rehabili-

Americans must help in this work.
1t has been shown by an extensive,
on-the- ground investigation made by
Trade Commissioner Charles P. Wood,
who was sent out by the bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce in the
interests Of American manufacturers.
American cooperation applied to
the reconstruction OF essential pro.
ducing industries would provide a
considerable market for American in
dustriAl machinery and AZ the same
time would insure raw materlAl0 ana
more work for European machinery
factories.
The most immediate step for Amer
leans is to gain the greater conndence
OF the European industrialises that
whatever cooperation Is EXTENDED
will be Of mutual advantage. AS the
value OF time becomes more fully
realized the American cooperation in
Europe will be more welcome: .
Another important consideration
will be to adjust regular practices tn
the American domestic machinery

and effect q more gracious approach

Instead OF

Plans Suggested To Quickly Make

traction Honolulu Paper Gives
Some Valuable Advertising

Maui came in for some excellent adj
vertising in the very attractive layout
of the first page of the Pacific Com
mercial Advertisers automobile sec
ton for last Saturday. A splendid z
column view of lao Valley, taken from
near the reservoir, is the attractive
feature of the page. Incidentally the
picture shows an automobile of the
Won Hamm- Young agency in the fore
ground, with Manager Ralph Wilson,
of the company, Miss Ruby McVay,
and w. H. Field, of the Maui Hotel,
standing beside it.
The accompanying write-up Is des-
criptive of Maui's great scenic valley,
and includes the splendid description
of it written forty or fifty years ago
by Mark Twain. Another STORY"
tells of Maui's highways, and describes
the possible automobile trips on Maui.
Urge Repair lao Road
The only drawback to this form of
advertising is that for 5 years it has
been virtually impossible to get to
the upper part of the valley and the
Needle except on foot. The cloud
burst of January 10, 1915 washed out
ne bridge and a section of the road
Just below Kapaniwai, which have
never been replaced. Pressure of war
demands was the chief reason for this.
The 1919 legislature appropriated
100000 for reopening this road, and
this sum will probably be available
from the next bond issue some time
next fall. But the bridging of the
stream again and the reconstruction
of a considerable section of road in a
solid rock cliff makes it quite likely
that this amount of money will prove
inadequate.
For this reason a number of per
sons have suggested not building a
bridge at all, but instead to construct
a ford across the stream which would
be passable to cars at all times ex-
cept the in%frequent intervals when the
stream is running very full. Manager
H. B. Penhallow is one of the ad-
~vocates of this plan. He believes that
a concrete apron could be laid on the
stream bed and properly anchored,
that would answer every purpose; and
that the cost would be comparatively
trifling and the time necessary would
be small.
Ford Passable Now
Although possibly not generally
known, it is even now possible to
cross the stream by automobile, and
to get practically to the end of the
road as before the washout. But is
is not a particularly pleasant trip for
the reason that the ford is very rough
and the road above it has been so
neglected in the past 5 years that it
is almost impossible in a number of
places.
The crossing was made possible by
the Waikiki Sugar Co., some months
ago by rolling out the biggest of the
stones and boulders in order that ma.
~terials for tunnel work might be haul
ed up. The fact that considerable OF
the water in the stream is taken of
by the tunnel mentioned, also makes
the ford idea the more practical from
standpoint OF. water flow.

be put VI to the supervisors, and il
taken up by them it should be but q
