white house as Jack Dempsey can now
leave the ring without knockout on
his slate. And Wall Street may de-
eide to install an all-star cast in the
white house next time. The appoint
ment OF Dwight Morrow to the Next
can ambassadorship indicates that the
House OF Morgan is tired using
secondhand men in first class posi-
tions.
IT is not surprising that experts
4 should be at odds over who won the
Dempsey-Tunney prize fight, since it
is not yet settled who won the ia
nous battle of Jutland, where a
German fleet met British fleet twice
its weight and gave battle. The
British lost twice the tonnage of the
German losses but Britain won the
war, swiped Germany's colonies,
robbed her of the greater part of her
merchant fleet and reduced her to
navy zero thru the peace of Yer
sailles. Dempsey won the Chicago
fight but lost the decision. 1t seems
to US that Dempsey and the Germans
are in the same boat:
THO the bottom had fallen out of
the movement for the amalga-
nation of craft unions into industrial
unions the need for such develop
ment has not decreased. On the con-
trary the increasing tendency on the
part of giant financial and industrial
corporations to merge, makes it more
than ever necessity on the part of
the workers to combine their forces
for greater effectiveness in the never
ceasing struggle for a greater share
Of the necessities of life produced by
their labor.
THE latest thing in combinations is
the proposed merger of gas and
electric public utilities under the con-
troll of the Morgan, Mellon and
Drexel interests. Those giant finan-
cial octopuses will unite the power
companies of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and New York, into one super
power system. When the big finan-
ciers are pooling their interests to
their greater profit and glory the la
Dor leaders are busily engaged making
war on the progressives in the trade
unions and insisting on craft auto
nomy rather than on solidarity ON the
lines of industrial unionism.
ACCORDING to o report made by
"a the New York Trust Company,
"we" have Az billions of dollars in
vested in Latin America, fifty per
cent more than Wall Street has in
vested in Europe. This tremendous
investment in Latin America accounts
for the presence of American marines
in Nicaragua and for the appointment
of Dwight Morrow as American am
bassador to Mexico. In order to pro-
tect this mighty investment and en-
able it to increase and multiply and
fill Wall Streets Golfers with profits
the government of Mellon, Morgan
and Drexel will sacrifice thousands of
American lives to slaughter thousands
of Latin Americans should the latter
rebel against being shackled by the
dollar letters of American imperial
ism.

JAPANESE IN HAWAII
OBSERVE BOYS FETE
titan gono-Sekku," May Festival,
Celebrated with Display of
Huge Paper Fish.
By the Associated Press.

BIZ the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, May "a custom of
old Japan which finds observance in
this American territory is the celebra-
tion of 'Tangono-Sekku"- May
festival for boys.
Today, IS every year since Japan
ese have made their homes in Ha
waii. great paper fish, some as long
as Is to 90 feet, will be hoisted on
poles outside of every Japanese home
in which boy was born within the
year. Some homes win display many
fish. That will not mean the home
has been presented with as many boys,
but only that the family living there
has many friends to honor the new
born with their gifts.
The big paper fish with their open
mouths catching the breeze and
filling out their tissue bodies. are
made In imitation of the carp, the
only Japanese fish having the power
and energy to fight its way up the
swift currents of mountain streams.
The carp is held a fitting example for
all boys, typifying ambition, energy
and strength, with will to conquer
difficulties.
The fifth day of the fifth month
of each year is set aside as boy day
in accordance with this ancient Gus
tom of Nippon. In the homes cele-
brating the festival special delicacies
are prepared, especially chimaki and
kashiwamochi, which are rice dump
lings wrapped in leaves.
Infants do not participate in this
fare, but receive from family friends,
besides the gaily floating fish, dolls
representing the ancient warriors of
Japan
