DEEP SIGNIFICANCE

The words. grave concern" one sem ator pointed out, usually carry deep significance in diplomatic usage and frequently have been employed to de- scribe an attitude contemplating pos sible action.
 Supporters of the reservation declare that in its moral effect such a declara- ton would be a powerful deterrent should any nation again purpose to de- spoil Europe as Germany did.
 It is expected that 1t also will be argued that the reservation would lend immediate moral support to the strug- gling new nations of Europe and would be reassuring to France, whose defen- sive treaty with this country still awaits ratification here and faces a bitter fight if it is called up for &C., tion.
 Debate on the proposal may begin tomorrow, though the leaders thought it more likely to go over until senators had been given an opportunity to study it. About dozen other reservations presented by individual senators re- main to be disposed of and one of them, relating to the Egyptian protee- torate, has been before the Senate for more than a full days session.
 IRISH PROBLEM UP
 It was in connection with this res ervat1oL presented by Senator Owen, democrat, Oklahoma, that today's re- viva1 of debate on the Irish problem was precipitated. Senator Shields, democrat, Tennessee opened up the subject by moving to add declaration that the United States understands Great Britain will. declare Ireland free. In it's course the debate developed some sharp exchanges and apparently was in full force when a recess was taken tonight.
 Republican and democratic leaders alike had hoped for an agreement to- day to vote not later than Friday on ratification, but they withheld any such request in view of the unexpected time taken up by the owen reservation.
 An agreement may be secured to- morrow.

HIlr1H IND THE AMERICAN LEGION

TO be strongly and positively pto-American and at the same time
not antianything was perhaps the finest thing in connection with the
American Legion convention held in Honolulu last week. In other
words the Americanism Of the men who made up that convention was
of the broadgage kind.
and against things su5seryient to Americanism in these Islands Out uj
there was no spirit OF smaUness evident in the stand taken. One couId
not sense any spirit OF racial antagonsn-smpy an overWheming
feeling that Hawaii is and must be kept American, and anything that
would threaten this must be comhatod and removed for that reason
alone.
Throupbout the convention there was to be heard no TRADES of abuse
against av race or nation. There was much said against the japanese
social and political domination of Hawaii, but nothing against the Jap
ancse as individuals or as a people.
And there were some equally hot speeches and resolutions against
individual aliens of races neither Oriental nor Hun, who share the
bounty of our land but shrk the burdens OF American citizenship.
The American Legion in Hawaii has taken the Amercan1sm clause
from the organizations constitution as its watch-wOrd. 1t has set tor
itself the task OF seeing this territory made 100 percent American, and
it plans to use the material right here at hand for the purpose. The
men who make up the Legion believe the task is possible. They are
dead certain that it is worth trying, and they propose TO unite Their
efforts with those of every other agency working towards the same end.
There was no talk of a commission government at that convention.
But there was plenty OF talk OF making Hawaii 100 percent American IN
fact as well as in name. And there was no lack Of intelligent suggest
ions as to how to go about the job. Hawaii has much to hope TOR
from the American Legion

The most serious menace to the future OF the nation today springs
from ihteracy and semiItcracy. This was demonstrated by the draft
statistics during the war and by the irrational radicaism in the country
since.
Clearly the best way to attack this problem is through the schools.
But
We are told that nearly a fourth Of the school teachers in the Unit
ed States resigned last year and that perhaps IS many more will leave
this year because of the inadequate pay.
Our schools have never been what they should be because we have
been so niggardly that we could not keep the best grade of teachers.
And now, even a doubling Of teachers salaries would only equal the
old schedule in buying value, while teachers are demanding and justly
demanding a higher scale Of living.
But how is the nation going to more than double its burden OF
school maintenance on top of all the other high cost Of living burdens!
And if we can't do ii, or don't do it, what is going to happen to us?
These are some pretty serious things to think about. 1t isn't a
problem for mere academic consideration either; it is one that should
be and must be answered by every tax payer in the country.
What is YOUR answer?

SHOULD BE THANKED, NOT BLAMED

A Washington correspondent writes that the members of the terri
torial commission headed by the Governor, and now in the national
capital, is somewhat concerned as to their reception on their return
home because of their approval OF the Withholding of territorial owned
sugar lands from homeseadng. The legislative resolution on the sub
ject provided that not more than one-ifth Of such land should be so
reserved.
We don't know whether their concern is well founded or not. But
we feel dead sure that they should have the gratitude instead of the
censure of all true friends of Hawaii.
We have already learned through press dispatches that Secretary
Franklin K. Lane approved the policy OF Withholding the sugar lands
from homesteadng; and Secretary Lane is about as true a friend of the
Islands as we have ever had. 1t is probable tina. others in Washington
took the same view Of the matter, and that the Hawaii delegation could
take no other stand if it hoped to accomplish anything at all from its
mission.
And this is said not in opposition to homesteading. But it is in
opposition to the squandcrng of the public domain. There isn't an hon
est man in the territory who, knowing the situation, believes that it is
possible to permanently people the sugar lands of Hawaii under present
conditions. We believe the time will come when real h~omesteading is
feasible but that time is not yet.

of Waikiki owned and conducted the

ed by a tidal wave which spread out
and covered the whole flat back of
Kahului.
The present custom house was
built in 1881 and the Kahului Railroad

Much has been done by the present

er the town sanitary but the task has
been a difficult one, as the town lies

lies only two or three feet below the

In case it is found impossible to
properly disinfect Kahului so as to
render it sanitary, the town which
now occupies about twenty acres may
probably be moved back and built on
clean sand where better sanitary con-
ditiOns exist. In case this is done it
should be done at once for several
reasons one of which is that Kahului

SELLING MAUI

IIno has started out on a campaign to sell the Volcano. Her bust
ness men are putting a lot of steam behind the idea and we believe she
will be able to put the deal across.
Maui has a number of things of value that she ought to be interest
ed in selling also. Taking everything into consideration we have much
more to sell than has Ho in Kiauea volcano.
We have not sold even our own people many of the beauties and
wonders of this first island of the group, while comparatively few Of
the people of the rest Of the territory have ever even had an opportunity
to buy.
Thus far most of us have imagined that we have only sugar and
pneapples to sell. The fact is we have assets even richer and more
stable than these-assets that the rest of the world is anxious to buy.
OF course if we don't look out we are likely to be trampled upon
by the crowd anxious to be sold the things we are blind to, but it would
certainly be to our interest as we'll as comfort, to put our wares in a
presentable and convenient shape.

more the way we have been going the h~Omesteadmg problem will have
solved itsef-because there will be no public land left nor any home

BY just what process of reasoning a court expects to discourage law

instance: A Waluku booze maker, with an unusually large and com
plete equipment, and said to be a past master at the art OF dlstilng,
pleads guilty in the federal court in Honolulu and is fined SZoO That
man is perfectly capable of rigging up another outfit and in a day or
two turning out enough liquor to pay the fine and net him a proht be
sides. Another Maui offender got off with a SIS fine. A few months
in Jail as a fixed policy is the only logical hope of check-mating the
lure of easy money in this class of offenders.

Announcement that no effort is to be made to float another lot
of territorial bonds until next fal. is bad news to Maui. 1t means a
further delay in getting started on the Lahaina wharf, the extension of
the belt road, opening of the lao valley road, and other projects. The
delay may possibly be charged up as part OF the cost of the present
labor troubles in the Islands, this being a factor against their sale this
spring as had been expected. ii IS to be hoped that local concerns may
decide to undertake the flotaion so that needed improvements may start.
