TABU TERRITORY

In Honolulu certain districts of the city have been forbidden to
men of the army and the navy because of the fact that illicit liquor
selling and immortality were more open and prevalent in them than
in other sections of that city. Conditions in those districts were con-
the men of the service under their command. The death of II. I.
White of the engine crew of Eagle Boat So puts the question square
Ly up to Maui as to whether it is willing to be classed with the 'Tabu
Districts of Honolulu.
1t is a question that can be considered entirely apart from the
morality r property of conditions as they have been shown to exist
on this Island. 1t may be considered from the aspects of dollars and
cents saved or lost or it can be considerd from the viewpoints of
civic pride and self and community respect.
Maui's self respect and pride would be even more hurt than her
pocket book should the army and the navy class this Island in the
same category with "Tin Can Alley of Honolulu and other low
Stun districts ON Oahu which are now forbidden to men of the SER
vices as territory where it is not safe to permit them to enter.
1t is not pleasant to consider that soldiers and sailors even if
permitted to participate in the next fair might be marched from ship
to grounds and back to ship, for a navy foot ball team, even II per-
mitted to come to Maui for an exhibition game, to be driven from
ship to grounds and back practically under surveillance because the
community could not be trusted to entertain them, because it could
not be relied upon to keep law breakers within bounds. There have
been pleasant relations established between Maui and both branches
of the service and it has come the time when Maui has to decide
whether she will ostracise herself from the men of the service, whe-
Their the friendly relationship that has been established shall be brok-
en- off. The answer lies with Maui and with her people. They have
come to a parting in the ways, a fork in the road and must choose
for themselves which turn they will follow.
AS to whether prohibition is or is not desired by a majority OF
the people of Maui is beside the issue. The federal constitution has
been amended so as to forbid traffic in liquor and the Volsted act is
on the statute rolls. There was a time when the people OF Utah dd
not approve of the laws against polygamy but the laws were enforced
Labor unions today dsapprove of anti-picketng and anti-boycott
laws, but the government is seeking to enforce those laws even to arm
ed clashes.
of good citizenship and disrespect for and disregard of one law can
bring only open violation of that law and others as well. A commun-
ity can be only law abiding or lawess, there can be no half way ati
tude.

MENTAL DEFICIENCY ON INCREASE

In this the twentieth century and more especially III the past
decade there has come a new attitude towards matters of vital
Importance and subjects which were considered as unfit for polite
conversation, for mention from the platform and not to be set forth
in public print are now open to free discussion. Some OF those OF
the older generation are shocked at the new conditions but ideas of
what constitute modesty and immodety, propriety and improperly,
even morality and immortality are radically different now from even
the closing days of the nineteenth century. This is evidenced when
the president of the University of Hawaii publicly suggests race con-
troll as a cure for Japan's difficulties and when a woman probation
officer gives an interview to a woman reporter advocating steriiZa-
ton of subnOrmal offenders and that interview is published in a Ho-
nOlulu paper.
1t is only in very recent times that those subjects can be openly
and freely considered and the mention and advocacy of them even
now will rouse strong opposition i'll certain quarters but there" is a
growing feeling that the breeding Of human beings is deserving of
ing swine, cattle and poultry.
George Bliss, superintendent of the home for feeble minded per-
sons, is quoted as saying that in Hawaii there are more than $500
feeble minded persons, that is $500 potential fathers OF mothers to
propagate their kind. With a population Of 256,OOO in the Islands
this means that one percent of the population is mentally deficient,
and t is a well known fact that persons of that type produce larger
families, bring into the world more children than do normal indivi-
duals. Thus it S indicated that in another generation the ratio of
mentally unfit to the population will be more than doubled and will
continue its steady increase unless steps be taken to stop it.
This state of affairs is sufficiently grave to warrant a free and
open consideration of the dangers that are faced and of ways and
means to remedy the condition to give excuse, if one be needed, for
the advocacy OF birth control and OF preventing the propagation of
the mentally unfit. DR.. Dean, Dr. Bliss and Miss Steritt are to be
commended for giving publicity to their views and the world is to be
congratulated that it is putting prudishness aside.
The urge that even a mental incompetent is entitled to the joys
of parenthOOd hardly holds good when it is considered that one such
deficient person may produce two or three or more of his or her own
ik for useless and perhaps criminal and unhappy careers. Today
Hawaii has not institutional accommodations for its feeble minded
children, has not sufficient accommodations for its juvenile delin-
quents, the preponderating number of whom are subnormal and the
time has come to lay aside all squeamshness and to face the sub
ject with a view of solving it, whether racial degeneracy shall be
permitted.
