Harding Speaks
In Favor Ship
Subsidy Plans
President Addresses Joint Ses-
sion and outlines Proposals;
Provisions of Measure Are
Presented.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-Measures
providing for ship subsidy of about
$92,000,000 annually for the merchant
marine will be introduced in both
houses of congress after President
Harding addresses them in joint ses-
sion in advocacy of the administra-
tion's proposals.
1t is proposed to provide the sub
sidy by diverting 10 per cent of the
customs receipts. The bills will pro-
vide that subsidies shall range from
one half of one cent per gross ship
ton per hundred miles regardless of
speed of vessels; for vessels of 1900
tons gross or more additional allow
ances are provided for speeds ranging
from 13 to % knots or more from
two tenths of cent to a fraction
more than two cents.
The bills would extend the coast
wise shipping laws so as to cover
trade with the Philippines and rail
road companies would be permitted
to operate ships except in the coast
wise trade but such provision would
not apply to ships operated by rail
roads to the Philippines.
The shipping board will be author
lied to provide a ship loan fund not
greater than $125,OO0OO0 for the build
ing of modern ships.
immigration laws will be amended
so as to provide a requirement that
so percent of the immigrants shall be
carried on American ships.
Retainers to attract merchant ma
rine officers to organize naval re
serves will also be provided.
President Outlines Plans
President Harding speaking to the
Joint session of congress detailed the
wartime creation of a great shipping
tonnage, adding: Having failed al
such enormous cost bring to you a
proposal which contemplates return
to private initiative led to conserva
tive success wherein swe are safe
guarded against promotion and pri
vate greed and do not discourage the
hope of profitable investment which
underlies all successful endeavor."
He said the failure of the executive
to carry out the provisions OF the
Merchant Marine Act of 1920, notably
the cancellation of treaties which hind
cred the granting of discriminatory du
ties was due to the embarrassment
abroad which such action would cause
and said the present program avoids
such embarrassment, adding: | pro
pose that we collect all import duties
without discrimination and apply then
hereto after a proposed reduction tc
create fund for government aid of the
merchant marine. By such a program
we will strengthen the inbound ton
mage and equip the merchant marine
to serve the outbound tonnage whicl
will measure our eminence in foreigl
trade"
"The influence of the United State
in world councils is sure to be meas
ured by that unfailing standard foun'
in the nations merchant marine"

Bond of Louis Lake
Ordered Increased

Bail bond of Louis Lake is to be
increased to $4,000 and Eugene Murphy
attorney for Lake told Judge Burr on
Saturday that l.. L. McCandless, dem
ocratic candidate for delegate to con-
gress, would furnish the bail bond.
Both the county attorney and At
torney Murphy were notified last Sat
urday that the case of the Territory
VS. Louis Lake was on the calendar
and both appeared in court in re-
sponse to the notice. Judge Burr
said that Lake had been convicted of
manslaughter and was under sentence
though he had taken an appeal. He
felt that the $4,000 bail bond which
had been sufficient before conviction
was hardly sufficient after sentence
had been pronounced. He would in
crease the amount of the bail to $4,000
and asked Murphy how soon he could
furnish bonds in that amount Muir
ply replied that he understood L. l.
McCandless would go on the bond but
was now on Hawaii and he would
have to have time to communicate
with him there and get his reply.
Lake has been in Honolulu for a
short time past but returned to Maui
today.
Republican observers say they see
a political play to catch the Hawaiian
vote if McCandless shall furnish the
bond in the new amount

Kumalae Has Hearing
And Pushes Campaign

Jonah Kumalae has opened his cam
paign on Maui. He came from Ha-
waii Friday night and and spoke on
Market street on Saturday night and
last night. On the first occasion he
was frequently interrupted and heckled
by his hearers. but last night order
was well preserved, the street was
kept clear of traffic for him and he
was accorded all he could ask for a
hearing.
Kumalae has dwelt chiefly on the
labor question, opposing the pending
labor relief measures. He insists that
the plantations do not really need
labor, can secure an adequate supply
if they will pay a high enough scale
but has not said how high that scale
would have to be- Because Onomea
happened not to lose money he in
sists the plantations did not lose last
year. He claims that if labor for the
plantations be brought in men now
employed in the fields will be forced
out, go to the towns and Honolulu
: and crowd the mechanics there.
Referring to his campaign Kumalae
says that he is paying his own way
He denies he is being financed by the
Republicans. He said it was charged
he had been bought by the Republi
cans and asserted Baldwin and the
Republicans have not enough none!
to buy him.

Higher Class Films
Have Most Appeal to
Children, They Say

, Long essays and short essays and
middle sized essays as well, some
written by little boys and girls and
some by large flooded in upon Man
ager Dick Harris of the Maui Amuse-
ment Company last Friday in advance
of the first Children's Friday night
to which each child bringing or send
ing an essay was admitted free. He
has been looking them over since be.
fore turning them over to the judges.
1t is remarkable, Mr.. Harris thinks,
that in answer to the question as TO
what pictures they like best and why
not writer, so far as he has discov.
cred, has expressed a preference for
the serials. The way many of the
children shout and cheer when excit
ing scenes are shown in the serial
production thrown on the screen had
led him to expect that some, probably
a large number of the young folk
would express a preference for thai
type of picture. Not so, however
The youngsters say they like the higl
class plays best and next the new
weeklies. 1t has made him wondel
if parents may not have had some
thing to do in the way of suggestions
but the verdict is so strongly the 9th
er way, since the expression is unani
nous that he thinks such cannot bC
the case in all instances.
When the judges reach their deci
sions, Mr. Harris will announce th'
winners of his prize offer.

Losses Last Year

At the first annual meeting of the
Maui Agricultural Co, Ltd, last Fri
day reports of officers showed a net
loss of $41.8S per ton on all sugar
produced in 1921 the Advertiser re-

Wailuku Plantation
Operates AT Loss
Due Labor Shortage

At the annual meeting of Wailuku
Sugar Company last week the treas
urer reported 1858 tons of sugar
produced from the 125,3245 tons of
cane ground, the average outturn be-
ing 7.22 tons sugar per acre of plant
cane and $40 tons per acre of ratoons
as digested in the Advertiser.
Cost of production was $S4442 per
ton and marketing charges S12457.
Cost at market was $96.S99. The
crop averaged $93.624, so that the loss
was S3.275 per ton. The net loss on
the crop of 1921 was $35,S96.52 and
the net loss for the year carried to
surplus account was $25,43206.
Balance brought forward in surplus
account January l was $1,317,7 ,707.0S
and carried forward December 81
S1,022,275.02. Permanent improve
ments and property accounts carried
forward at close of year were S2,745-
01S.20. The total assets were S4,1S6,.
O27.55, including stocks and bonds
$55S,042.5O, notes.. $102,034.S7, and
agents credit and cash, $79,04312.
Manager H. B. Pehallow reported
that all fields overran the estimate up
to July. Harvesting was delayed
three months through lack of labor
so that the losses from overripe cane
after July overbalanced the gains
earlier in the season. The tonnage
harvested, 125,324 tons, has been ex
ceeded only twice in the history OF
the plantation, in 1915 and 1919. The
prolonged season added materially tC
the most of manufacture.
The mill did not work to good ad
vantage because it could not be op
Grated to full capacity. Besides the
juices being of poorer quality, the
loss in manufacture was higher than
it should have been. Irregular run
ming increased fuel consumption also
The plantation increased its
acreage of HOO and is also planting
home grown seedlings which have
averaged over 100 tons cane per acre
The cane to be harvested in 1872:
totals 1882 acres and the crop is esti
mated at 14,400 tons. The 1928 acre
age is slightly less. The manager
presented in detail the sugar yields
from each variety for plant and rat
toon crops.

Fight Launched
In Senate Upon
Pacific Treaties
Friends of Administration Say
Filibuster; Vote on First Set
For Not Later than Thurs
day This Week.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, Feb 28-First con-
certed attacks on the conference
treaties opened in the senate yester-
day when the foreign relations COM
mittee reported favorably upon all,
with reservations as to the so called
quadruple entente. The general re-
port was prepared so that debate may
be started at once. 1t is reported that
only seven of the Democrats in the
senate are in favor of ratification of
all of the treaties. If the other 30
Democrats shall vote against any OF
the treaties solidly they could with
the aid of four "irreconcilables" block
ratification.
Filibuster Charged
Administration leaders last night
charged openly that the attack launch
ed yesterday indicated an attempted
filibuster. Johnson and Reed led il
in connection with the Yap treaty
Johnson said the consideration of the
zap treaty is dismal prologue to
that of the series of conference treaty
proposals. He said its real purpose
is to confirm the control of Japan in
the former German Islands north OF
the equator which were acquired
through secret treaties which the
United States should never have ap
proved.
Reed charged that the Republicans
are trying to force the treaties
through before the public is fully
aware of their contents and meaning
Robinson said the treaties taken
together will give Japan absolute con
troll of the Orient.
Will Vote Thursday
AS soon as the foreign relation con
. mittee presented its report flood o.
reservations was offered, three o
them to the four power pact. Kins
proposed that Japenese control of YaI
be regarded as purely administrative
and without carrying sovereignty
After several hours of wrangling
unanimous agreement was reached t.
vote on the Yap treaty not later thai
Thursday.

Splendidly Rendered
Plays Please Large
Audience Saturday

Two pleasing plays, delightfully."-
rendered and some charming musical
numbers by the music department,
preceded the dance of the Maui Wo-
mans Club at the Territorial Build
ing, Saturday night. There was a
large attendance and the evening was
thoroughly enjoyed, the club benefit
ting considerably financially from the
excellently arranged and conducted
affair.
Following a choral selection by the
music department of the club, Mrs.
w. A. Baldwin stepped before the cur
tain and spoke briefly in the way of
an announcement in which she out.
lined the program. Then came the
first of the two plays, a dramatic
sketch entitled "The Person in the
Chair" The cast was large one for

Between curtains there was an

was indicative of longer training than
they have had.
Manager Dick Harris of the Mau

rehearsed the actors and yesterday he
said that never in his long experience
had he coached cast that did sc
well with such a short period of pre-
paration than did those who partici

Telling Truth Not
So Easy As Appears

Whenever two or more folk get to-
gether and talk of the play that is to
be produced on March II, at the Ka-
hului Theater, one over hears such
remarks as: DO you think you could
do it?" 'Td like some one to bet me
that" Say! you couldn't do it for
a million dollars"
They talk about the plot of Moth
ing but the truth" in which a young
fellow bets $4,000 he can tell the
truth absolutely for "a hours. Many
are the predicaments in which he
finds himself as the result.
Rehearsals are being twice a week,
the whole cast is doing finely and the
purpose for which the play is given as
well as the play itself carry strong
appeal
