Chasing Fire Engines
Dangerous Sport

adopted, adequate to curtail the practice
Automobiles running ahead of and the apparatus

There is no why citizens simply seeking a

Islands Now
A Source of Weakness

Instead of administering
Hawaii as an outpost in
the Pacific for our national
defense, we set up a terri
torial government there in
1900 upon the theory that
we needed to do nothing
more about the Islands un-
til they were ready to be
admitted as a State to the
Union.
Congress gave no Execu-
tive department of the
United States the response
bility of overlooking the af-
fairs Of the Territory or Of
reporting to Congress the
direction and results Of its
development under the
American Flag.
AS a result, Hawaii today
is a source Of weakness to
the United State instead of
being a source Of national
strength.
Instead of being an out
post for America, Hawaii
is chiefly an Asiatic COM
munity which overnight
might become an outpost for
an Asiatic power.
Out of a total population
estimated recently at 375.-
900, $4,000 are Japanese,
$4,000 Chinese, $4,000 Fill
pinos, 5000 Koreans, and
$4,000 Asiatic-Hawaiians.
And all the while the
Government of Hawaii has
been and is now controlled
by an oligarchy Of special
interests that exploit the
Territory to their own COM
mercial advantage when it
ought to be administered
as an outpost of American
defense.

Or Prey of Interests?

was independent and unat-
tached to the ruling class.
But the Hawaiian dig
archy never stopped its ac-
tivities against the appoint
ment of Mr.. Pinkham until
it finally succeeded in pre-
venting his reappointment
for a second term.
Now, this same oligarchv
is opposing the reasonable
request of Mr.. Roosevelt that
Congress give him authority
to appoint as the next Gov
ernor of Hawaii, without ref
erence to residence, an able,
independent American who
will govern impartially and
with a high sense of the ma
tional Importance of Hawaii
and Of its paramount useful
ness as an outpost in the
Pacific vital to our national
defense.
Congress Deaf
To First Roosevelt
More than twenty five
years ago Theodore Roose-
velt tried to arouse the Con-
gress to the Importance Of
giving the Hawaiian Islands
a government that would ad-
minister them as a national
possession instead Of per-
mitting them to be exploited
exclusively as a private COM
mercial enterprise.
But Congress turned a
deaf ear to the first Roose-
welt and things have gone
from bad to worse in Hawaii
ever since.
The people Of Hawaii
ought not to be blamed for
present conditions in those
Islands. Nor can all Of the
blame be shifted to the
shoulders of the commercial
developers of that territory
who have taken advantage
Of the failure of the Federal
Government to exercise Fed
eral authority and discharge
Federal responsibility over
territory annexed for Fed
eral purposes.
Congress alone can remedy
the present situation in Ha-
waii. And the first step to-
ward applying the remedy is
to give to the President the
authority he requests. This
would clear the way for the
appointment of a governor
who will administer Hawaii
as it must be administered if
it is to be changed from an
Asiatic community into an
American Gibraltar.
Under the Speakership Of
Mr.. Garner there was intro
duced in the last Congress
by the Democratic chairman
Of the Committee on Terri
tories a comprehensive bill
for the reorganization Of the
government Of Hawaii that
might well be made the basis
for legislation by the present
Congress.

MOVIE EXTRAS
GET BREAK
IN NEW DEAL

.. HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 1s 0.N.S0.
Nightmare Of jobless, payless
days Of waiting is fading from
the life Of the Hollywood extra
ct last.
{ Once more the girls and boys
who play the roles Of privates in
the cinema capitals parade
across the screen are smiling
again-and they aren't synthetic
smiles ordered by the director,
either.
# there is any industry that
has definitely shown results in
the new deal it is the movie in
duStry. Even though, at this
writing. there still remain mat
ters to be settled before the mo-
ton picture code Is signed, the
effect of the new spirit is every
where in evidence.
But it is not the star who Is
the center Of attention. It is the
extra. I went on the sets Of
several motion picture studios
and talked with directors, stars,
and even cameramen. They all
talk fervently of a new deal
and a square deal-for the ex-
ira. The kings and queens and
grand dukes Of the screen have
done much to change conditions
for the extra during the past few
weeks.
But the new benefits to the
hopeful extra take more prac-
tical form than that. Jack War
ner, of Warner Brothers, told me
that all the major studios report
an increase in expenditure for
extras amounting to about $780,
900 a week. At present about
$1,000 extras are employed, a
figure exceeding anything in the
history Of the movie industry.
Yet there is class distinction
and class problems-among even
extras. One young actor who
said his problem was typical OF
hundreds Of others, came to Hol-
lywood at the time of the talkie
revolution. He became a depend
able extra, always available,
qualified for any minor role. But
the ceaseless trek of thousands to
Hollywood boosted the number Of
"qualified' extras to $4,000. My
extra friend wants that number
reduced to 1000, and he and his
1899 associates are demanding
that some such provision be made
in the new movie code.

The alleged action was char

disregarded. It also was as
