All the usual | resources of propaganda are employed. A New | England textile mill is shown shutting down; a New England employer speaks, so does a New England worker and a New England Congress-| woman, and finally, after a picture showing some | Japanese imports, the whole issue of ‘save New England” is put on the high plane of a patriotic duty.

An interesting angle of the trade is that the Eastern teachers have never been farther West than Chicago and the Juneau ycung women have not been East of the Rockies. | It sounds like a good plan. Not only is in a fine education for the instructors themselves in that it better equips them for their profession but it probably will prove stimulating to the general cause of learning. Teachers from afar have knowledge to impart to their pupils aside from the routine classes. The result is a broader field of instruction and education. Ketchikan is trying a similar plan, exchanging | with Hawaii and it is probable that other schools | will try it out as the custom proves its worth. Drawn | closer together as we are through improved com- munication and transportation it follows loglcnlly: that we should know more about each other.

At long last the powers in Honolulu that keep high spirits within bounds have bowed to the jnevitable and have done justice to a Hawaiian institution that is fully as distinctive and renuwnedi as the hula, the ukulele, the lei, poi, barbecueu dog and the surfboard. For the first time in his-{ tory they have licensed, and thereby legalized the | manufacture, sale and consumption of that danger- ously uplifting beverage, okole hao. In those early days when the first missionaries to the Sandwich Islands were putting Mother Hub- bard wrappers on the grass-skirted matrons and| damsels and founding the fortunes of the present| sugar-and-pineapple aristocracy; when the only worldly minded whites to come within the barrier reefs were the crews of whalers wintering between seasons in Bering Sea, who confined their deviltries to the foreshore in one or two ports, the natives of the Hawailan group were blissfully ignorant of the arts of fermentation and distillation. How they invented and persisted in the hula in this state | West { What are the facts of the situation? The coiton manufacturers of New England have long been accustomed to draw tribute from the rest of the country in the form of tariff protection for an industry that cannot compete on even terms with its foreign competitors. The familiar argument is advanced that this inability is the result of the cheap labor costs abroad, but there are critics who suggest that behind the tariff barrier an in- efficient industry has been allowed the luxuries of obsolete equipment and poor management, as well as a thoroughly illogical location. (The essential unsoundness of New England's position as a cotton manufacturing section is indicated by the recent trend of the industry into the South, a trend that is the direct result of economic law and can- not be charged to foreign competition.) Now comes this pampered industry with a tale of ruin from Japanese imports. Again, what are the facts? In the last eight months Japan bought cotton from the United States valued at 82 mil- lion dollars. If the imports of Japanese cotton goods into this country continue at its present rate, their total value for the whole year will be less than 2% million dollars. This amount, in turn represents considerably less than 1 per cent of the value of cotton gpods manufactured in the United States. These figures are illuminating. They show that Japan buys raw cotton in the United Staes worth about thirty-five times as much as the cotton tex- |mes that it sells to this country. They further show that imports of Japanese cotton goods into the United States are still relatively insignificant in comparison either with our foreign trade in raw cotton or with the output of our own cotton tex- tile industry. Japan is one of our best foreign customers. American exports to Japan are valued annually at 150 million dollars, and Japan must be permitted to sell its goods in this country, in order to continue buying from us. These are facts that do not make good propa- ganda material and they are not mentioned in the news reel. But for its own protection the Middle must take them into consideration before it yields to any more “save-New-England” senti- ment. The present cost of such rescue work to a section that is heavily interested in developing export markets is practically prohibitive. Perhaps, indeed, the Middle West should enter the pro- ;pagandu game itself and show a few of the farms| |that have been ruined by a tariff | policy that for against it in favor of Certainly, the Middle West should employ years has discriminated the East. levery political method available to right one of the worst wrongs that has ever been inflicted upon one section of the country for the advantage of another. The Railroads Wake Up. (Kansas City Times.) In 1921 every person in the United States trav- eled on an average 440 miles a year on railroad trains. In 1933 this average distance had declined to 130 miles. Coincidentally railroad passenger earnings fell off about 1 billion dollars a year Methods now being adopted by the railroads to regain part of this lost business are discussed in the May Atlantic by Ralph Budd, President of the Burlington Lines. The discussion is based largely on the Burlington's experience with the streamline Zephyr now operating between Kansas City, Omaha and Lincoln. The run from Kansas City to Omaha with ten stops is made at 50 miles an hour The Zephyr, with a diesel oil motor, has reduced the operating cost from 65 cents a mile to 34 cents. Traffic has greatly increased. Passenger has more than doubled. Other roads, the Union Pacific and New Haven, are using diesel motor trains. The New York Cen- tral is streamlining steam locomotives. The sylvania is doing the same to electric trains. The Baltimore and Ohio is preparing to experiment with both diesel and steam streamlining, while the Milwaukee is about to put in service a streamline steam locomotive capable of doing 120 miles an hour What with air conditioning, new motive power and higher speed, the railroads are waking up. revenue Penn- CAPITOL BE AND BA Private Booths frrr e e | PEARL Beer Lunches Light Wines —— |No. 21, a cross on a granite boulder ERPARLORS LL ROOM Dancing Every Night PARIS INN and BILL Lunches BAILEY’S CAFE ?4-Hour Service Beer—if desired Merchants’ Lunch Short Orders Regular Dinners “WHERE YOU MEET YOUR FRIENDS" t I'rench-Italian Dinners P e WINDOW GASTINEAU CAFE GASTINEAU HOTEL BUILDING Wines—Beer —— - |Lode, whence U.S.LM.
