MAUI'S GOOD IRIS

This paper is disappointed and regrets that it must forego its
plan for the installation in its editorial office of a radio receiving
plant, in preparation for which receiving apparatus had been in
stalled and an operator was expected to arrive about the first of the
month. However, it willingly makes the sacrifice entaied in giving
up the project, since Central and East Maui will benefit by such
sacrifice.
1t would have been a matter of pride to have had the only radio
news station in its own office in the Islands and for this paper to
be one of the half dozen in the United States to have such a plant.
So far as actual service goes, the new plan will not nOticeably affect
the news service Maui News will be able to render; it means only a
few minutes difference in the receipt of files and it eliminates the
danger of inaccuracy in taking proper names and figures over the
telephone. SO after all the sacrifice is little more than one of pride.
In time it would have been necessary for the Mutual Company to
do just what it is doing now. 1t is to be recognized that it would
not be fair for Maui News to have a service better than given to
business houses and individuals. But it is the fact of this papers
progresIveness i'll securing the Associated Press telegraph news SER
vice that has brought the much to be desired action by the wireless
company at this time. This is said with no intent to detract from the
praise and cOmmendatiOn due that company for the action which it
has taken. 1t has shown itself public spirited and anxious to give
the community greatly improved service, and of such a company
nothing more can be asked. 1t has so acted, too, of its own initiative.
But the fact still remains that Maui News is entitled to its share of
the credit of giving to Central and East Maui the improvement which
the receiving stationtat Wailuku is sure to be found. Thus this paper
has been able to help "kill two birds with one stone to give the
public the worlds news accurately and promptly and the installation
of a wireless station at the county seat.

ADVANCE GUARD ARRIVES

Already the advance guard of press congress delegates has ar
rived in Honolulu. Six of them came from Australia last week and
more from the Anhpodes are to follow. Their coming brings a fuller
delegation will reach the Islands two weeks from yesterday and
some three hundred of the leading editors, publishers and writers
will reach Maui two weeks from next Saturday, less than II days
from now for the committees to complete their arrangements.
One Of the big problems that the committee must meet is the
securing of cars and drivers of the right sort to show Maui to the
visitors. 1t is not a matter of expense, merely, the committee has to
face. Autos could be hired, but it is impossible to hire drivers who
can tell the visitors what they want to know and what Maui wants
them to know.
The proper point of view is that the visitors are not merely
guests of the committee and so of the community, but are the guests
of each and every one in the community. Every man and every
woman is a host or a hostess. In volunteering to drive a party of
visitors in accordance with the program laid down by the committee,
he or she is merely taking his or her guests out for a ride, just as he
or she would entertain house guests.
To ask car owners to give their time and the service of their cars
to the project may seem like asking a good deal, but in reality it is
not so much. There will not come another such opportunity as is Of
fered now perhaps in the lifetime of those residents. There will
probably never come to any of them a community call so urgent, an
opportunity TO do 81 much for Maui as is at hand. 1t would be diff
ferent if the visitors were merely tourists, They are among the most
prominent members of the newspaper profession. Were they bank
ers they might do much for increasing the credit of Hawaii, but as
publicts they can do this and more. From no other source, from no
the entertainment and the hospitality shown to the heads of the press
To volunteer the use of a car and ones services to drive it, then,
is not everybody's business to be left by each to the other, it is the
business of each and every individual car owner who has the real in
terests of Maui and of the Territory of Hawaii at heart.

BREAKERS E

Meager advices have reached the Islands of a bill having been
introduced in congress by Representative Medil Mccormick to trans
fer Hawaii from the department of the interior to the department of
state. The mere statement may sound unimportant, but it would
mean that Hawaii would lose its governmental status as a territory
and would become merely an "inSular possession put these Islands
in the same position as Guam Porto Rico, Santo Domingo and Samoa
Hawaii has small enough rights and powers in the union Of
states under its present territorial status, and the possibility of losing
any rights that it does have is fraught with alarm to any and all who
hold Hawaii, its welfare and its progress near and dear. 1t is time
to sound the alarm at home and to rouse a storm of protest against
the mere proposal, protest so strong and vigorous as to check the
proposed move forthwith.
From time to time there have been mutterings that indicated a
threat to govern Hawaii by a commission from Washington, to take
some of its government away, including legislative rights. A trans
fer to the state department of its affairs would be a move in that di
rectiOn.
Steadily, in the minds of manlanders, there has grown a ten
dency to confuse the status of Hawaii and to group it with the Philip
pines and other "insular possessions" Against that tendency Ha-
wall has fought always, but never concertedly. Now comes the time
for concert and for united action.

"When this subject comes up for discussion within the
territory there develop two distinct lines of thought.
"The first is that the leaders of the territory get in
touch with the topliners of American official and business
life and blockade any movement to put this territory in an
undesirable classification.
"The second is that the territory as a matter of self
protection should institute a broad policy of education
through carefully prepared paid publicity. This publicity
would acquaint mainland citizens not only with the govern
mental status of the territory, but amplify this statement
with facts and figures regarding our industrial, financial
and educational affairs and all matters that will tend to
place before the average reader in an easily and rapidly d-
gested form the steady development of these islands and
their right to special recognition several notches higher than
the ordinary possession.

should be followed"

Bishop La Mothe struck the nail on the head and drove it home

work. Congregation is misnomer in most of the churches of the
