SIXTY ACRES OF CANE
BURNED OVER; NOLOSS

Fire of as yet unexplained origin
burned over 60 acres of Puunene cane
last Wednesday evening and for a
time threatened Camp store. The
area burned was between Camps 5
and 10 and the wind swept it toward
the store in an alarming manner. The
blaze appears to have started back
from the road in the field.
Reports from the Puunene office
said that no financial loss resulted
from the fire, as the cane was ready
for cutting. 1t entailed some hurry
up work to get the cane to the mill,
however.

ON The Tribune's Washtnoton Bure

From The Tri6rne's Washington Burecu
WASHINGTON, March 25.--The mis-
sion headed by Major General Leonard
Wood and W. Cameron Forbes, which
is to visit the Philippines to make an
investigation OF conditions there, has
authority to visit "such other points in
the Orient as may be necessary to COM
ply with the instructions of the Presi-
dent" Secretary of War Weeks disclosed
to-day in making public the travel or
der issued by the War Department COW
ering the movements of the mission.
Secretary Weeks suggested that it
WAS possible that the mission might
touch at Japanese port on the way to
Manila, and that while there the Japan
ese military authorities might desire.
to honor the Americans in some man
ner.
The War Secretary said that the
scope of the investigation might be
broadened to include an inquiry into
the Shanghai branch of the Philippine
Bank, which is known to be involved
in some financial transactions which
have been in question. II this de-
velops as the inquiry in the Philip
pines progresses, Secretary Weeks said
that both General Wood and Governor
Forbes may find it necessary to visit
China.
The operation of the Philippine Bank,
which has been the basis of complaints
from American financial interests hav-
ing dealings with the Manila institu-
ton, is to be thoroughly investigated
by Governor Forbes, whose knowledge
of financial matters makes him spe-
ciaily qualified TO handle the economic
and financial side of the mission.

Unions Aims
Compared to
Junker Rule
Hyphenates No Greater Peril
Than Labor Minority That
Seeks to Force Its Aims
on Country, SAYS Hollis
Rail Workers Criticized
1 Million of Unemployed
Called Nucleus of Poten-
tialBolshevik Government

The American Federation of Labor
was criticized tonight by DR.. Ira N.
Hollis, president of the Worcester
polytechnic Institute, for what he
termed undue exercise of power BY a
minority" in exerting legislative and
administrative pressure in this
country.
Addressing gathering Of NJ echsnics
and electrical engineers at the En-
gineering Societies Building, DR.. Hollis
said:
when the American Federation of
Labor demands Of Congress certain
legislation or represents to the Presi-
dent Of the United States that he must
nave one OF their number in his Cabinet
IL Is an undue exercise of power by a
minority just as serious to the future
OF our Republic as the present activities
OF the hyphenates like the German
Americans and the Irish-Am ericans.
Unchecked power Of minorities is
a danger to any form Of government.
We saw what it did to Germany when
the Junker rushed whole people into
this horrible war from which we are
hoping some day to recover, and we
saw what threatened last winter when
the mining men went out. The actual
interference of minorities over legis-
lation and over elections is one of the
very striking things in America.
Those who hold the balance Of
power are virtually rulers of America.
The only safety we have at the pres
ent time is in playing one minority
of against another. Can that type Of
legislation be tolerated which exemnts
organized labor from the statutes,
while placing capital and ali associa-
tlons under injunction and legal prose-
cution? Positively not"
Scoring what he alleged to r. ~.
attitude of labor organizations in
teaching their members to "put in
hours simply to get pay" the speaker
continued:
The main emphasis has been placed
upon the reduction of hours and more
pay to the hour, rarely upon the in
crease OF pay by reason Of better work
and higher capacity for work. In
that respect labor has been woefullv
deficient"
Railroad workers were condemned by
DR.. Hollis for controlling this coun-
try as to it's transportation system by
the same kind Of force that Lord Jel-
licoe exerted on Germany, when his
feet lay doing nothing at Scapa Flow
Regarding unemployment he said:
There are four million men seeking
employment, four million units charged,
we might say, with electricity Of a neg
ative kind, ready TO fly toward any cen
ter Of attraction. They will form, un-
less conditions change. the nucleus of
Bolshevik government"

WASHINGTON, March 25.--Some Of

Comment ON
lansing Book
Illness Prevents Ex- Pres
idcnt From Reading 1t.
but Friends Say That
He Will Make No Reply
Capital View Favorable
Only Adverse Criticism Is
That 1t Should Have
Been Published Earlier
From The Trioure's washin0son Bureau

From The Tribure's Wdsh;noson Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Al-
though the man presumably most in
terested, Woodrow Wilson, has not
vet read the book OF his one-time
Secretary of State, Robert Lansing,
about the inside OF the peace con-
ference, the book has been widely read
BY officials here. Most Of the comment
is Endorsement and approval. Friends
Of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge said
tonight that his opinion was that
every future historian of this period
would regard the Lansing book as one
of the essential sources Of informa-
ton.
A friend Of Mr.. Wilson tonight said
that the ex-President knew that the
book was in existence, but had not
read it. He added that if the Presi-
dent should read it, he certainly would
make no comment or answer to it,
Most persons here believe that onlv
NJ. wilson's touch Of illness yester-
day and to-day prevented him from
reading the book. They do not believe
he could restrain his curiosity TO see
lust what his one-time appointee had
to say about him.
Should Have Spoken Sooner
The only unfriendly criticism of the
book from those who opposed the treaty
or wished to modify it comes from
;aose who think that Mr.. Lansing
should have spoken sooner-while the
danger of ratifcation without substan-
tial reservations still seemed immi-
nent, or before the American peopIe
aad passed on the issue at. the election
u November. Those taking this view
hailed the letter to Mr.. Lansing from
William c. Bullitt with delight.
1t was recalled here that the testi-
mony OF Mr.. Bullitt before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, to the
effect that Mr.. Lansing had said TO him
that If the American people ever came
to realize what the league was "lettinr
them in for'' they would repudiate It,
vas one of the real bombshells Of tho
treaty fight. It furnished the enemies
OF the treaty and those seeking to
change 1t some of the best ammunition
they acquired during the entire battle
Of nearly two years. At that time NJ
Lansing preserved silence. He already
had testified before the committee and
had urged ratification, although admit
ting that he disapproved Of the Shan
sung settlement and other features.
No Great Sensation
The book itself did not provide the sem
sation, Of course, that either the Lam
sing testimony OF the Bullitt testimony
about Lansing's views caused at the
time. There is no great excitement
now about the treaty. The Lansing
disclosures in the book do not furnish
ammunition to either side of contend
ing forces, for the simple reason that
there are no contending forces.
But those Of the Senstors who made
the fight against the treaty and for
strong reservations are delighted that
this book, a formal, printed arraign-
ment of the Presidents policy, which
they regard as amply sustaining the
wisdom and patriotism of tho fiaht
they made, Is now to be q permanent
part Of the printed record Of the fight.

Harding, Sawyer
And Mayo Discuss
Welfare Scheme
Presidents Physician Begins
Task of Co-ordinating All
of u. S. Health Activities:
Will Form Advisory Board
F,o,n The rrsbune,s Washington sureax

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
movement for a general coordination
Of public welfare activities Of the gov
ernment, including those which relate
to public health, and education as it
applies to health, took on a more
definite form to-day as the result Of
conferences at the White House and
the War Department. President Har-
ding discussed the subject at lensth
with Brigadier General c. E. Sawyer,
his physician, who has been directed
to make q special study and report
with respect to such coordination, and
with Dr.. Charles Mayo, Of Rochester
MINI. Both Of these medical mon were
guests Of the President at luncheon.
In addition to this, DR.. Sawyer had q
conference at his Office with Surgeon
General H. s. Cumming, Of the Public
Health Service; Surgeon General M
W. Ireland, Of the War Department;
Surgeon General E. r. stitt, Of the
Navy Department; Dr.. Edward Martin,
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsyi-
vania; DR.. William F. Snow, of the
National Health Service, and DR.. Mayo.
DR.. Sawyer said the conference at
his ONCE was q preliminary one for
the purpose Of discussing in a general
way the public welfare program. He
oeAo AZ HAS NOt IOI tne purpose OF
mapping out any plans of coordination.
but to make . survey Of the situation,
to consider the question of getting ali
the information needed and the like.
He expressed confidence that in due
time plans would be evolved which
would be of service to the public.
Ono OF the things decided on was
to create an advisory council to work
with DR.. Sawyer. This council has not
been completed. Dr.. Mayo was asked
to serve on it and consented to do
SO. The three surgeon generals will
be members Of il. Efforts are being
made to obtain as members of the
council a prominent educator and a
prominent welfare worker, who will
be woman.
Legislation will be necessary to
carry out any extensive plan Of re-
organization and coordination Of pub
lie welfare. health and educational
activities. 1t is not yet certain whether
efforts will be made soon to create
new department of public welfare.
President Harding is definitely com
mitted to such department through
his speeches in the campai ign, and it is
generally assumed he will continue to
favor the idea, although there is op-
position in Congress on the score of
economy to any new department at
this time.

Charge That He altered Mean

Robert Lansing in his book Tho
Peace Negotiations lays bare the fact.
concerning the peace conference which
ne admits the American people are
entitled to only when it is too late
Tor these revelations to aid public
judgment on the treaty, William c..
builltt, who WAS attached to the peace
commission in Paris, wrote yesterdav
IN letter to the former Secretary Of
State. ~
Mr.. Bullitt's letter, written in his
own defense against charges made by
Mr.. Lansing, recalled that Bullitt had
been severely criticized for revealing
facts regarding the treaty when the
issue was still in doubt in the Sonata
and when he believed. as Lansing does
now tnat the country was entitled to
.i snow the contents OF the treaty and
the obligations imposed by it.
MI. Lansing charged a year aro that
nuihtt had entirely changed the mean
ing OF the Secretary's words when be-
lore the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mlttee he quoted Mr. Lansing rs aav-
ing that If the American people knew
what the treaty let them in for they
would defeat it. In his book Mr. Ian
,seng ,o1gg recalls how on September 19.
! ssls, after Bullitt had given this testi-
mony, he telegraphed President Wilson.
VINO was then in the West, and as
sured the President that Bullitt had
possibly unintentionally" changed tho
meaning OF his criticisms by falling to
