months ago the bonded warehouses.
as well as the private stores of
cotton goods importers, were fillad
to the roofs with cotton piece
goods.
Practically all during 1921 i'm
ports from America were subject to
a 20 per cent to 25 per cert handi-
cap as compared with British goods,
owing to the fact that an Aus
tralian pound sterling was equiva-
ably less than - instead of the
normal $4.S6. This adverse factor
was accentuated early in the year
bv a chsLge in the method Of Sp-
oraIsing values for Australian GUS
toms duties, the customs authorities
being compelled by the decision IN
the Stewart case to value Ameri-
can g, DDS on the bank rate. Of ex-
change instead Of on the par rate.
wh!ch had been the precious prac-
tice.
Furthermore, in the early months
of the year owing to exhaustion of
Australian bank balances abroad II
was practically impossible to remit
money for new orders of imported
goods of any kind, the result of
which is shown by the progressive
decrease In exports OF American
cotton cloths to Australia in each
successive quarter of the year.
The new tariff admits British
cotton cloths free of duty, and
charges American cotton cloths Is
per cent.
In the light of these facts. 1t is
not surprising that American ex-
ports of cotton cloths to the COM
monwealth have fallen to so per
cent Of their total in 1918 and 1919
Nineteen-twenty was far from a
normal year and comparison with
1t is futile.

Rush OF Requests For Free Water
In Wailuku Raises Serious Problem

You will note in the agreement

Company as well as the County of
Maui are interested in the granting
of free water to water users, and be-
fore such free water is granted to
any user we would Nask that we be
notified so that we may have an op-
portunity to be heard, in case we
have objections to offer In this
way, it will save embarrassment, both
to the County of Maui and the Wal
luku Sugar Company, should we make
a protest, as it is much easier to clear
such matters up ahead of time before
third parties become interested than
after. In other words, we hold that
the County of Maui is only one party
to the agreement and cannot grant
free water to any one unless we are
a party to it.
I'm the case of the three users
above referred to, you have not SUI
ficient data in your letter to inform
us properly as to whether or not they
are entitled to free water, and as in
dicated above, we would ask that SUI
ficient data be furnished us at youl
earliest convenience. No doubt thes'
people are entitled to free water Of
it would not have been granted By
the County, but we would prefer u
be notified ahead of time wheneve
