HONOLULU, T. H., Jan.
Is (LN.S. ).-What is wrong
with Honolulu?
Politics, politics The ig-
noring of individual rights!
An un-American social and
economic system! A boasted
feudal system transplanted to
twentieth century American
soil with many attendant prac-
tees and attitudes toward
W o m n h ood, and openly
Haunted under the American
Flag!
Politics to Blame
There is evidence of the de-
basing Of American governmental
practices for political manipula-
ton and business gain with ex'
cessive taxation and disproportion-
ate results. The situation here
is the outgrowth Of years OF par
tisan politics.
Not enough discrimination Is
given to the selection Of judges.
Officials are appointed and con-
trolled by the big interests in the
main. Apropos of the bar asso-
citation, let me quote from letter
written by prominent citizen
of Honolulu regarding Mrs. Mas
sic, and published by the local
press:
Lieutenant MaSsie saw his
wife crucified before the public
on the witness stand, a position
which she took not in desire
for revenge, but for the woman
hood of Hawaii.
Police Failure Charged
"He saw witnesses perjure
themselves, saw the jury panel
stripped by lawyer.made techni.
calitieS of every man whose
name he knew even in the COM
munity, listened to a prOsecu-
ton weakened because of the
failure of the police department
to support it, heard a charge so
involved by lawyer-made law
that the layman could not un-
derstand it, saw the delibera-
tiOns of a jury, obviously par
TALLY hostile, result in no YER
dict.
Let us put the responsibility
fairly and squarely where it be-
longs and admit that because of
the many lOOphOleS written into

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 16
TN.S. ).-While deeply deplor-
ing the attack on Mrs. Massie
and the tragic events following
it, I cannot consider this as evil
dence of anything fundamen-
tally wrong with Honolulu or
Hawaii.
The police, hospital, and court
records here show criminal assault
cases in Honolulu are not proper
tionally greater than in the aver
age American city, and am in
formed that the punishment is
correspondingly as severe.
AS Safe AS Any
without implying the slightest
condonement of this crime, 1t must
be recognized that assaults under
similar circumstances are not in
frequent in mainland cities. Homo
lulu has been as safe for white
women as any American city.
Ben Ahakuelo Zone OF the live
natives accused of having at
tackled Mrs. Massie) was not par,
doned as reported, but paroled
on recommendation of the judge.
This case is one wherein six boys
Of the average age of 18 were
charged with criminal assault on
Q Chinese girl in 1929.
I cannot believe the paroilng
Of Ahakuelo encouraged the other
attacks as alleged, nor will the
records substantiate this allega-
ton.
Not a BarbarouS Land
Continental United States per
haps regards Hawaii as q semi
barbaric tropic colony, whereas
it is civilized territory governed
by substantially the same laws as
any State.
The mainlanders Immediately
look on crimes here as racial,
whereas they are no more racial
than spectacular crimes else
where.
