PROPAGANDA BY PAID ADVERTISING

r. ~"A representative Of the Japanese Federation of Labor visited the
yarden Island office last Saturday and tried to buy from one to two
ipages of space for advertising purposes.
Some newspapers will take any kind of advertising, but when we
become so impoverished that it will be necessary to take that kind OF
business or close shop-we will close shop. But our conscience will
not bother us for having aided in the attempted organization Of the
industries of this Territory. Garden Island.
The Maui News was not approached in this matter. Had we been
we should have mhesitatngly accepted the advertisement. To do other
would, in our opinion, be not only umwarranted but wrong.
We are inclined to believe that newspapers should be considered
as public utilities in so far as their advertising space is concerned, and
should be compelled to accept advertising from all corners on an equal
footing. Certainly there is good argument to support such a position.
In the specific matter at issue we do not believe that our readers
would be led astay by any advertisements that the Japanese labor agita-
tors could produce. Rather, we think, would it be advantageous to
know what they had to say. -
Moreover we should turn the tables and make strong and persistent
use of the japanese press in the Islands in answering demagogic
doctrines and in preaching the gospel Of Americanbm in season and out
And to do this we might need a law which would compel the acceptance
of advertising matter submitted.
Besides, the border line of the freedom Of speech and press,
guaranteed by the constitution, is here approached pretty closely.
The American Legion is urging a law which vii. require the furnish
ng Of TRANSACTIONS OF all political or critical articles published in a foreign
language in the Islands. This is all right in so far as it goes, but it
is all of a negative character. What we need is some positive action
that will put across our own propaganda to the people who can be
reached in no other way.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-03-12
WHT NOT nIpoRT CITIZEN WoRKERs2

Lack of citizen labor skilled and mskilcd, is urged in opposition
to the demand Of the American Legion that none but citizens be en-
ployed on army and navy contracts or other government work. TO
our way Of thinking this is the best possible argument in its favor.
Ii there are not sufficient citizen workers in the Territory, and Of
course there are not, let the government import them. OF course ii will
cost more, but what il it does: The army and navy ought to be willing
to do their part towards Amercnizng these Islands, and how better
can they help than by bringing more Americans here?
No considerable number Of American workers will ever come to
Hawaii unasNsted on the chance Of finding a job, particularly in COM
petition with Orenak. But once here a considerable proportion is
certain to remain. If Hawaii is to be made 100 percent American we
shall have to look farther ahead than he FIRST cost Of getting govern
ment work done.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-03-12

Fno couldn't get any OF the surplus army supplies issued to Homo
lulu so she took the matter to headquarters through her postmaster and
IS now arranging TO have a large consignment Of provisions and clothing
shipped in direct. Presumably Maui people are all too proud or too
prosperous to want to buy high grade goods at a cheap price. AT any
rate there has been no move made to get in on Uncle Sans bargain sale.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-03-12

1t would seem like a joke were it not so serious, that Congress has
omitted Hawaii from the benefits of a bill designed to promote Ameri
canizaton Of foreign born residents. 1t is one more evidence of how
absolutely Hawaii is out of the mind of official Washington when legs-
laton is being framed.

The quickest way to settle the h~omesteading question once and for
all is to keep right on the way we have been going. 1t is the surest way
of turning all the government lands over to the plantations.

THE FLAMINCo, A BIRD OF
BEAUTY AND MYSTERY,
IS SAVED FROM
EXTINCTION

Assurance that the fiamingO, bird of
beauty and mystery, will escape ex-
tinction is contained In letter from
II. e. w. Grant. colonial governor Of
the Bahamas, which says: slr'
"a "You will be glad to hear that an
order 10 council has been passed giv.
Ing complete protection to the hamin.
70. This glory Of our marshes owes
the expedition debt Of gratitude"
The action Of the Bahamas council
was taken following an expedition,
which tralled the hamingo, the most
beautiful OF the worlds larger birds.
to It's last stand. took motion pictures
Of the tlmorous creatures; and brought
about a realization OF how near they
were to becoming extinct In the new
world through humiliation by native
sponge fishermen. These fishermen
hunted them down for food purposes
at the nesting and molting scnson.
The first American naturalist to To-
cate and study the gorgeous namingo
