Hawaiians Work Out
Own Recovery Codes

HONOLULU, Hawaii. - Application
of the N. r. A. in Hawaii without re-
gard to racial ancestry is one OF the
thoughts that have been impressed by
citizens of Honolulu on Col. Allen
w. Gullion. the deputy N. r. A. ad-
ministrator for the territory. Col.
Gullion is now engaged in a series OF
hearings on codes for the retail trade,
automobile industry, hotel and res
taurant business, oil companies and
some smaller businesses.
In various public and semi-public
utterances he has declared that the
N. r. A. will be so administered that
It will not choke the little fellow"
with impossible conditions, and his
position is understood to be in favor
of a lower minimum wage, generally
speaking, than is operative on the
mainland.
In some industries 1t is likely that
the "differential," as applied to the
Southern States. will be applied to
Hawaii. Under the decision OF tine
national N. r. A. authority, Hawaii is
not required to go under mainland
codes. the codes being worked out
specifically for this territory.

Taxes for Year 2l03
Being Paid in China

SHANGHAI, China-The plight of
the taxpayers in distant Szechuan
Province. in which awar against Com
munism is being waged, is naively told
in the columns of a local Chinese
paper.
Everybody knows that the people
in Szechuan are now paying taxes for
1880, but who knows that in Northern
Szechuan the people of several dis
tricts are now paying taxes for the
260th year Of the Chinese Republic,
or the year 2l93. This startling reve-
lation was made by a man who has
just arrived in Marking from North
ern Szechuan. This is a fact which is
not yet known to the outside world"
This province is reputed to have the
largest population of any in China.
60,000,000; an area of 218,000 square
miles. about the equivalent of the
combined areas of Arizona and Colo
RADIO, with a population eight times
greater than that Of Illinois.
Most of the provincial revenues
have been squandered on civil wars
and have gone to enrich the many
war lords living of the people.

the position Of commander in chief
of the republic without legal authority.
But he called for general elections,
was elected and made a good Presi-
dent. His government was generally
recognized, except by the United
States, and our non-recognition finally
drove him from office.
President Wilson took this stand for
the highest moral reasons. The re-
publics of Central America were
racked with continual revolution ana
Mr.. Wilson believed that a strong
stand against revolution and in favor
Of constitutional procedure by the
United States might go long way
toward cleaning up the situation. His
intention was to build up, in the
Western Hemisphere, orderly republic
an governments depending on the
consent of the governed. able and
willing to protect all the rights OF
individuals and to fulfill international
obligations.
President Sole Judge.
But in setting up this criterion Of
constitutionality Mr.. Wilson also made
the President of the United States
the sole Judge of the legitimacy of
the government of a sister state. That
came very close to interference with
the sovereignty OF the state. It in
volved the danger Of ignoring the
wishes of the people of the country
seeking recognition, since it placed
the decision as to legitimacy in the
hands of one man, the President OF
the United States; and he is as likely
to be Influenced by prejudice or per-
SOnality as any one else. 1t was
peculiarly dangerous as applied TO
Latin America. Recognition by this
country might not matter particu-

in case of a revolution against mon
archy-in other words, 1t seemed to
look toward the form of government,
which should haze nothing whatever to
do with recognition. 1t is not any more
our business what kind of government
another nation establishes than 1t Is
the business of the other nation what
we wish to do ourselves.
Wilson's Position.
President Wilson introduced this
idea into the recognition question
when he refused to recognize the
government of Victoriano> Huerta In
Mexico. 1t is true that he based his
action on the ground of the const1-
tutionality of the government rather
than on its form, but it is also true
that if the United States sets itself
up as the sole judge Of whether
government Is constitutional or not
the form is bound to be considered
Just as much as the antecedents.
This may extend even to the per-
sonnel. It was difficult to make up a
case for the claim of Carranza, so far
as strict constitutionality was con-
cerned, but when Carranza had estab-
lished himself in Mexico City Mr..
Wilson did not hesitate to recognize
his government. Yet at the time 1t
was certainly tess in control of the
country and certainly did not rep
resent the will Of the Mexican peo-
pie any more than the government
of Huerta had.
An even more striking example was
the refusal of Mr.. Wilson to recog-
nize the government of Costa Rica.
There is no doubt that Tinoco was
responsible for the election Of Con-
zales Flores as President, contrary to
the constitution. There is equally no
doubt that Tinoco was responsible
for his overthrow and that he assumed

the other "undisarmed" states would
be bound, within few years, to do

under the eventual convention, would
be called offensive" These would
include heavy artillery with a caliber

more than 16 tons, bombing airplanes.

Second, the effective strength Of the
Reichswehr would be increased to
100000 men and, in addition, the
bodies of Hitlerian militiaS, such as

Former Undersecretary of State Of the
United States.
"HE recent recognition OF the
Mendieta government OF CUBA,
the refusal to recognize the
i Grau San Martin government,
its immediate predecessor; the
recognition of the Martinez govern
ment in Salvador, after it had gone
unrecognized for several years-these
things, coming on top of the far more
striking recognition of the Soviet
government of Russia, have naturally
made people ask what, after all, recog-
milton is, why it is sometimes given
and sometimes withheld, whether
there is any rule to which the gov
ernment adheres.
These questions are fair enough, and
q fair answer must include the admls-
sion that American practice in the
matter has not been consistent. There
is no Democratic as distinguished from
Republican practice. There are GER
tain very general rules by which the
government is guided, but whether
these rules are strictly adhered to or
not depends largely on the character
of the man in the White House and
of his Secretary of State. But there
is no rule which makes recognition
obligatory under international law.
1t is a matter of convenience only.

the American custom and the correct
procedure ito acknowledge any gov
ernment to be rightful which is formed

Civil War Problem.
There was some reconsideration OF
this perhaps ultra-iberal position at
the time of the Civil War, because OF
the fact that the Government in
Washington was always afraid that
foreign nations might recognize the
Confederacy as an Independent state
This was rather far-fetched, since the
recognition of new nation which has
been carved out of an older nation in
wolves very different principles from
the recognition of a new government.
Mr.. Seward reflected this new position
when as Secretary of State he wrote
in 1868 to the American Minister in
Peru:
1.-THE policy of the United States is
settled upon the principal that revo-
lutions in republican states ought not
to be accepted until the people have
adopted them by organic law with the
solemnities which would seem sufl-
cient to guarantee their stability and
permanency."
The wording of this message was a
little pompous but. after all, 1t was
good sense All Mr.. Seward was try
ing to say was that the United States
was going to be a bit careful about
recognition in order that it might not
run the risk of supporting a group
which very likely represented nothing
except the armed power of minority.
The only disturbing element of the
message, and that only through impli-
cation, was that this might not be the
attitude of the American Government

South African Farms
Start War on Cnus

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
No gnus is good gnus, according to
the farmers of Natal, South Africa,
who have been organizing an un-
official campaign to get rid of the
great herds of gnus that still roam
the South African countryside and
do immense damage to crops and
farm lands generally. OF course, the
societies that exist for the preserva-
ton of South African fauna are up
in arms against the slaughter of gnus
by gun and poison, but when a farm

ter of a ton, galloping through his

DR.. A. G. Silverman, suspended

Silverman, who was suspended in
definitely without pay yesterday, was
repudiated by N. r. A. Lodge, No. 81

Employees, for his criticism of Peck
and Hillman, which led to his
suspension.
In fact, the organized group of N.

act of treachery to labor" and criti-
cized him severely for linking his
case with that of John Donovan,

changed

fer that you say I have nothing more
to say. At least. nothing more until
there is some new development"
At DR.. Peck's office no plans have
been made for the board to take up
