Comes to Investigate
Fuel Alcohol Making

Signor A. Melian, managing direc-
tor and n of the partners of Ayala
& Co, which is reported to be the
largest and most responsible concern
in the Philippines engaged in the dis
tilling of alcohol, is expected at Paia
today, coming over on the Wilhelmina
from Honolulu to see J. =. Foster and
the NJ. a. Co, fuel alcohol plant.
II is understood that m of the OBJ
iects of Signor Melian's visit is to in
vestigatc and secure for his concern
the rights for the Philippine islands
of the Foster process for the manufac-
ture of alcohol for use in motors. This
process is the discovery Of John p.
Foster, mill superintendent of the
Maui Agricultural Co., at Paia and il
is claimed that il produces an alcohol
that is not injurious to the motor in
which it is used in place Of gasoline.
The Foster process produces this al
cohOl from molasses of which there
is a large quantity in the Philippines
and which at the present time has
practically no value. AS gasoline in
the far east usually costs about IS
cents a gallon, it is possible that a
large field for the Foster process may
be developed.

Two Resolutions On
Labor Situation Are
Passed by Legion

Two resolutions were necessary to
take the place of the Maui resolution
at the Legion Convention in Hila last
week. Maui deferred to Honolulu
since the resolution of that post was
presented first and contained some
points Maui was glad to include. And
it fell on J.. A. Glib of Maui to take
the initiative for the securing of its
passage.
Text of Resolution
Whereas, the Territory of Hawaii
is directly dependent upon agricul-
tural pursuits for its economic wei
fare; and
Whereas, such agricultural pursuits
are greatly hampered and handicap
ped by the lack of unskilled labor in
the Territory of Hawaii; and
Whereas, it has been found by 90
years experience to be impractical
and impossible to procure other than
aliens to perform unskilled agricul-
tural labor within the Territory of
Hawaii because of climatic and other
conditions; and
Whereas, the Second National Con
vention of the American Legion, held
at Cleveland, Ohio, September q, %,
30, 1920, passed a resolution favoring
further Investigation of the alien
population of the Territory of Hawaii
with a view to %effecting military, So
cial and economic safety; and
Whereas, the Hawaiian Emergency

now before Congress is designed to
furnish alien agricultural labor and
further diversity the alien population
of the Territory of Hawaii and aid in
the development of Americanization

Whereas, the American Legion, De-
partment of Hwaaii, believes it to be
to the best interest of the Territory
of Hawaii and of the United States
that the Congress of the United
States of America pass the Hawaiian
Emergency Labor Bill Joint House
Bill No. 171) now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the American Lee

ton be transmitted to the national
commander of the American Legion,
to the president of the Senate and to
the Speaker of the House and to the
delegate to Congress from Hawaii.

resolution was adopted, presenting the
action of the Hawaii convention to
the consideration of the American
Legion throughout the nation. Fol
