is to be appointed to study the results
achieved by the existing constitution

Native Labor Conditions. - The

acquaintance with native labor con-
ditions of interest.
The Solomon Islands are small
group Of islands with total area of
1000 square miles, situated in the
southwest Pacific The native pop
ulation is 10000 and the white 500
TIE islands contain cocoanut plan
tations from which copra (the dried
kernel, used for soap making, etc.,
the principal export, is procured.
Coolies are not allowed to be inn
ported, so that the planters are de-
pendent upon native labor, which,
however, don't care about work.;
and even an annual tax of ten shill-
ires per head is not always sufficient
stimulus. The planters, therefore,
resort to sending special recruiting
agents to tour the small islands.
Schooners putting in at any Of
the small islands for this purpose
usually signalize their arrival by rifle
fire, The natives gradually gather
around the landing stage, urged by
curiosity. The recruiting agent, de-
claring the purpose of his visit, gives
vivid description of the wonderful
life on the plantations and the enor-
nous money the natives could earn,
and displays the gay colored cottons,
clay pipes and tobacco which he is
careful to bring with him. Anyone
tempted by these glowing prospects
to give his consent at cree receives
a gay patterned "Lep-lep,' waist
belt, pipe and packet of tobacco. All
recruits are taken on board and the
schooner goes to the next island.
When the required number of natives
is recruited the agent returns to the
plantation. This recruiting costs the
planter very dear-200 ruhles per

The young working class of India,
having. grown and strengthened it
self Of late years, has become a Sc
rious factor in the political life of
the country. 1t has already become
impossible for the British authorities
to struggle against the developing
labor movement of India by the
brutal methods of shooting and the
lash. New and more subtle methods
are called for and the British bour-
geoisie have made successful use of
the services of their voluntary and
tried lackeys among the reformists.
The activities of the British re-
larly energetic of late years. India
has become the goal of an unbroken
pilgrimage: regular procession of
prominent members of the British
Labour Party and of the Trades
Union Congress visited India; among
the British guests" to India we find
Messrs. tombstone, Slime, Rutherford,
Ben Turner, Pethwick Lawrence, Tom
Shaw and last but not least, the ia
nous Indian Expert" of the British
Labour Party and former officer in
the army. Graham Pole. India is
shortly to be honored by visit from
Lansbury and a deputation from the
British Trade Union Congress.
The aim pursued by all these dis
tinguished visitors is one and the
same: to distract the revolutionary
energy Of the working class of India
from the political struggle and to
turn it into channels of peaceful ne
rotiat'rns bctween workers and cap
italjsts. Countless but unsuccessful
efforts have been made to form La
Dor Party on the British model and
to get the Indian trade rni1ns into
the Amsterdam International; per-
sonali.ies have ot last been estab-
iiShed with the petty bourgeois lead
ers Of the Indian trade urion move
nent in the hope OF realizing through
them reformist leadership of the IN
dian trade union movement. The
British reforGlists have promised to
improve the legal status Of The In
dian workers as soon as Labor Gov
eminent gets in again in England.
Closer inspection Of the actions Of
representatives of the British Labour
rarty in india make these promises

ARE YOU GETTING THEM?
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-28

we did 25 years ago, but so years
hence we shall know tar more about
these things than we do now. Usage
will implant them in the blood. And
even the development which the car
user has undergone to date is con-
tributing, not only to our safety, but
to the amount OF service our motor
cars yield.
1.-THE statement is easily proved,
So rapid has been the motor cars
conquest of the country that most
of today's owners are driving their
third, fifth, or even tenth car. They
are deriving greater satisfaction from
it than from their first Tor two
reasons: Because it was a better car
to begin with, and because they
know more about its care than tney
did about the care OF their first.
They nave learned to give 1T the
attention which will insure freedom
from battery failure, fabrication
trouble, or undue tire wear And the
car which they eventually pass along
to it's second user has had the benefit
of their extended knowledge. 1t Is
almost certain to give better service
when the percentage of first owners"
was far higher.
at would probably prove surprising
if every car On the street were to
display a placard stating whether
it was in the hands OF It's original,
or a subsequent owner. That the
proportion of new cars is COM
paratively small may be gathered
from the fact that there are some
22,000,000 cars licensed in the country
today, while the yearly production OF
new cars is only about 100000.
Such comparison makes it obvious
that the used car business has at
tained vast proportions proportions,
in fact, which would be inconceivable,
were not the used car OF today
thoroughly proven investment in
transportation"

TELLS WHY
USED CARS ARE
GOOD BARGAINS

"The startling refinementS which
our motor cars have undergone in
the last few years have exerted upon
the used car an influence quite as
profound as that which the new cars
themselves reflect" said George E.
jackson, proprietor OF the Douglas
Buick agency. 1--WE need only glance
at the proportions which the used
car business has assumed, to realize
that the used car OF toGay must
be an entirely different quantity
from the commodity which went
under the name a comparatively
short time ago"
There are several reasons for the
public's growing tendency 20 buy
used cars with confidence" continued
Jackson. 1.-The ultimate reason, OF
course, is that such confidence is
being justified to a greater and
greater degree with each passing year
by the performance of used cars
themselves. Every possible agency is
cooperating to bring this about-to
surround the purchase of a used car
with the same assurance of owner
satisfaction as goes with a new car.
"The fact that the motor car
leaving the factory today is a vastly
better product than any OF It's pre-.
.decessors is the greatest single factor
in the rising desirability of the used
car. The jndustry's constant effort
to build better is steadily increasing
the amount OF dependable Granspor-
tation delivered with each new car.
Consequently, there is greater and
greater reserve CT service left when
the original owner yields to the lure

sign, and better materials and work.
manship play their parts in, bringing
this condition about, and SO does the
interesting process which might be
termed the evolution OF the car user.

SEATTLE YOUTH
EMBARRASSED BY
SEARCH

Probably few persons who happened
to be in Los Angeles during the wild
excitement over the Parker murder and
the attendant efforts to capture Will
liam Edward Hickman, the confessed
murderer, had as much personal in
formation about the vigilance of the
police as did G. H. Dupee of Seattle,
who arrived in Douglas yesterday and
passed the night at the Gadsden hotel.
Dupee is a young man, apparently
about 20 or 81 years of age, built much
on the order of Hickman, having
facial features carrying a considerable
similarity to Hickman, and another
fact that made him the target for po-
lice inquiry was that he was travelling
alone in a car. Eight separate times,
police halted him and grilled him and
at one time, as he was travelling east
of Los Angeles at Holtville, he says
there was, moment when he felt
somewhat uneasy for his personal safe
ty, because OF the gathering curious
ones who wanted to help the police do
their duty.
Dupee fortunately had some per-
sonal letters with him from Seattle
people of prominence that helped his
cause when they were read. "But when
curious began to gather about us and
mutter what ought to be done with
the fellow they were searching for, and
had not yet been able to convince
the police was not he. it didn't prove
a bit pleasant" said the traveller. He

Police believe that the man Lehr
may be wanted at London, Ontario,
in connection with a murder COM
mitted there some. months ago: Tele-
grams received here several weeks
ago indicated that man wanted
in this case and having many tattoo
marks on him was supposed to be
