Agrlc ulture Justice Bailey
Wallace should fix a quota of
916,550 tons or law should
stipulate a greater amount for
Hawaii.
Under the terms of the
Jones-Costigan amendment to
the sugar act quotas were
fixed for continental United
States.
The amendment gave the
Secretary of Agriculture power
to fix quotas for Hawaii and
other possessions. He fixed
the Hawaii quota at 916,550
tons of sugar.
In a court of equity, 81 Of
80 Hawaiian plantation owners
sued for an injunction to have
the Secretary prohibited from
fixing the quota for the
islands.
Justice Bailey Overruled the
plea of the islanders.
They would have been salts
fled to secure a quota Of 975,OOO
tons which was originally rec
commended by the President.
AS a matter of fact with the
processing tax, the 81 Hawaiian
sugar producers are making
money. They are in much
better position than they were
not long ago.
There is, hoWeUer, prlnc1-
pie inUolUed as far as they are
concerned. And it is not the
difference betWeen 916,550 tons
of sugar and 975,0OO tons of the
same commodity.
1t is the first time that they
have had a real issue on which
to challenge the New Deal and
determine the exact attitude to-
ward the Hawaiian Islands.
And through the Court of Ap-
peals and the Supreme Court
they are going to fight to learn
whether the Islands are regard
ed as an integral part of the
United States and entitled to
the same privileges as people of
the States or whether they are
to be considered a Step-child
deprived of certain rights they
consider fundamental.
Sir er-preSidents are being
moUed.

ing.
My neighbors thought I was
mad. But my boy soon beat
theirs in physical combat, and
has continued to do so in other
ways. I tried to teach him to
think straight, as well as hit
hard, and to look life in the eye.
And when he was nine I put
him in a military school, so he
wouldn't be womaniSh.
Now, according to your cor
respondent, this attitude is very
rare in women. He thinks wom.
en- are towards and deliber-
ately train their boys to be
such. But he's wrong there. I
believe women have more cour-
age, both moral and physical,
than men, and as much sense.
And, in addition, they have a
certain respect for the gracious
side of life which they can i'm
part with great benefit to their
sons.
But the simple truth is -
MOTHERS HAVE TOO MUCH
TO DO. In trying to teach,
their boys one side of life they
neglect the other. The mother
should give the child IDEALS
and CULTURE - the father
should give him PRACTICAL,
MANLY TECHNIQUE.
But how much time does the
average American father spend
on his child, and what does ne
try to teach him? HE IS IN
TERESTED IN TEACHING
HIS SON ONLY tn o S E
THINGS WHICH MINISTER
TO DADS OWN COMFORT -
namely, to be quiet and to be
out of the way when Dad is
home. Father usually spends
most of his time on the golf
course, or in a like manner,
when his son is small, and is
busy entertaining someone
younger than his wife when the
boy is older.
If OUR BOYS ARE GOING
SISSY, I'M AFRAID IT'S THE
FAULT OF THEIR FATHERS.

SON WALLACE.
