HAWAII TODAY
AND TOMORROW
(New York Herald-Tribune)


Copies of the holiday issue of that re-
markably handsome publication Para
disc of the Pacific" Hawaii's illustrated
monthly magazine, provide, perhaps, the
best all-over picture We have yet had of
what has happened in that land since
Dec. I. 1871.
1t is interesting to recall what happen
ed after the first shock and confusion.
A few hurried as quickly as possible to
California, but most stayed where they
were and bucklad down to their manifold
duties.
OF course. life in Hawaii has changed,
although the weather is eternally the
same The real thing finally came and
the people responded Construction of
many types has been necessary; barbed
wire barricades are seen everywhere:
the local police reserve has been brought
to a new efficiency; barracks for eVacua-
tiOn in time of possible renewed attacks
are to be seen in many a secluded val
ley.
The shadow of Il grim time hangs over
our paradise. but the dream Of a glorious
tomorrow is there also 1t is probable
Hawaii will never be quite the same
again. She will he better, with Il spirit
tempered by the knowledge that once she
lay in the shadows and acquitted herself
with a high fortitude.

Treasury Opposes
Foruivinu Taxes

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-fUP)-
The treasury today recommended
initiation of pay-as-you income
tax collection at the source as son
as possible but opposed cancellation
# ali of the past years taxes.
The treasurT's views were PIE
sented by General Counsel Ran
dolph Paul at the opening OF hear
ings by the house ways and means
committee on new tax proposals and
tax collection methods.
Paul told the committee as the
long awaited hearings on pay-as-
you-go opened that the treasury
felt complete cancellations of any
years taxes was very undesirable"
in view of "the revenue needs OF
the government and the equitable
distribution OF the tax burden"

RtTAIrUS WAS RAISED

The word went round that Man
DOWer Commissioner Paul V. Nc
Mutt was cracking down on Detroit.
Employers and employees alike be-
gan to lombard the Detroit office
Of the area manpower Sterilization
committee and some even telephon-
ed Washington to know what was
up. In Indianapolis, where anoth-
e. area StabilizatiCn committee had
already named and was about to
begin operations, members OF the
committee read about the dictator
ial goings-on in Detroit. They
wanted none of that in Indian
apolis so they hastily called a meet
ing and resigned in a bunch.
Worried, Washington head
quarters of the ManpOwer Com
mission had the full text CT the
: Detroit agreement tCleph0ned to
/ the capital to see what went on.
Much TO their surprise and
pleasure, they found il was prac-
tically the same as the original
Baltimore agreement. Relieved,
the manpower boys persuaded
the indianapolis people that this
wasn't the revolution Sfte: all,
and to come on lack and play.
In Detroit 4 campaign of hand

Vriathus, herdsman, rallied his peO-

ITS ALL VOLUNTARY

The whole business is strictly
voluntary. There is as yet no law
or executive order which drafts
labor or even freezes labor. Until
such a law is passed, the only way
IN which labor pirating. job jump

mated is for the representatives
Of labor and the employers to get
together ard agree among them
selves not to do those things.
They en- further agree that
employers will hire new employees
only through a centralized agency
such as the L. S. Employment
Service and will hire no one un-
less he is : new worker or unless
he bears release from his for
mer employer.
IHey can further agree that they

new workers, train new workers,

they switch to war jobs or main

THE ONLY WAY TO
GET THINGS DONE

Rubber Director William NJ. Jeffers
doesn't silence easily. A lot of us may
thank our lucky stars for that fact.
me trouble with JefferS is that he Is
not a politician He hasn't the right at
titude. He hasn't learned yet that the
most important thing is to avoid criticism,
and avoid criticising fellow government
bureaucrats. He still clings to the alb
surd theory he brought over with hlm
from his Job as president of the Union
Pacific railroad, that the important
thing is to get something done.
Seriously, though, 1t has been inter
esting to watch the clash between JetterS
and others who have the idea that it is
ALWAYS best to keep quiet about things
the voters might not like. 1t was cheer
ing to read how JefferS got up on his two
feet before a congressional committee and
repeated the charges which had got nm
into trouble with the administration
own censorship office.
The nations synthetic rubber program
has been delayed many months, Jetters
declared, by confusion, clash of person
alities, lack of direction, interference,
too much eXpediting, divided authority
and too little tWo-fisted authority.' lie
repeated his declaration that so-called
army and navy eXpediters-beari in mind
that these men are mostly adminiStra-
ton appointees, and not of the fight
ing services as we usually think of them
have slowed down the rubber program,
and that loafers have baked it at many
turns.
1t was virtually the same thing Jeffers
had said in an earlier public address. For
his utterances on that occasion he was
publicly classified by the administra-
tons Office Of War Information, which
reminded him that his remarks should
have been submitted to that office for
censorship before he made them, and i'm
piled in no uncertain terms that he'd bet
ter keep his mouth shut in the future
when it comes to criticism.
What we'd like to know is, what other
means has Mr. Jeffers at nand for get
ting action than the medium of publicity?
Or is he supposed to sit idly, twiddling
his thumbs, keeping his mouth shut Will?
he knows doggoned we'll his silence will
give consent to delays which hamper the
war program?
Is it more vital to avoid any sign of
internal argument, or to get things done?

THE TROUBLE WITH
SOME CENSORSHIP

1t is unquestonably the right of the
federal administrative branch to expect
loyalty from its servants. But it is the
right, too, Of the people to expect per-
fOrmance from the administrative branch.
If the administrative branch is loyal
to the public in placing performance
above politics, it should not be necessary
to set up censorship to prevent criticism
from within the ranks. There is today a
loyalty which must transcend all others
loyalty to this nation, and to the cause
of victory.
No high-minded man in public service
will keep silent when that greater loyalty
is threatened-when his silence might
hamper the drive toward victory-sin
ply because to speak will be to step on
some political toes.
Jeffe~s had to make a decision before
he spoke He had to decide whether he
owed silence to the administration, or
protest to the people He must have de-
cided that his biggest duty was to get
things done The only way to get them
done was to speak.
May his kind never be successfully
muZZled.
