PRINCE ABDUL CHANDHL KHAN STUDYING HERE Crown Does Not Appeal but Sugar Industry in U. S.

Te Study Two Years Abdul cameg to the United States last year, after two years' study in England with a private tutor to delve into the science of sugar pro- duction, which is stressed at Louisiana State university, and also as he puts it, “to study American ideals, standards and home life.” Since coming to Baton Rouge he has hardly made his presence known, devoting himself quietly to his studies. He rooms in a student apartment house near the univer- sity. Abdul doesn't regret the distance that lies between him and his Af- ghanistan 'home. He -says his memory of native country is too mixed with turbulent interenal politics in which his father, Abdul Chaffar Khan, figured as a pro-tem monarch to make him wish to re- turn in any way except as the humblest private citizen.

Hawail today is an example of taxation without representation. We have more people than four of the States, and we pay more income and corporation tax than 13 of them.” When Gov. Lawrence M. Judd was in Washington last month he sald that Statehood for Hawail is inevitable in the distant future but at present any political change would be premature and inoppor- tune. He then explained that “agi- tation to make the territory e State, so pronounced a year ago, appears to have abated as many of the political leaders realize the gravity of altering the political complexion during an unsettled period. At pre: it is unwise to set up State sovereignty. Economic conditions. are unsettled. Hawaii should wait until the political complexion is definitely determined and it has been proven demon- strably that State government will be better for the people themselves than territorial. Hawaiians are com- ing to this point of view. They are reflecting on the change from every point of View, which, of course, means the capacity of all groups to participate.” Among Delegate Wickersham's visftors during the past week was getting the ordinary appropria- begin, and as quick to end, a romance.
