HAWAIl TRANSFER N PROTESTED Governor Scores Proposal to Put Islands Under State Department. (By mail.)—Protest against transfer of the wdministration of the tel tory of Hawaii fiom the Department of the Interior to the State Depart- ment was voiced here today by Gov. Wallace R.

United States Needs Educatfon. “it is obvious that the American people nced a liberal education on . what Hawail is. The whole force of commnunity pride and business acumen, as well as first-class sa manship, must be brought into play to counteract this move. The lead- ers of the territory should get in touch with prominent officlals and siness men on the mainland and block: to put this terri- tory able classification. “People of Hawaii should not be blind to the fact that the events in this ocean and the majority of news- paper headlines have caused the people of the United States to think of Hawail more frequently in terms of the State Depurtment than of the Interior Department, however.” JAMESTOWN HELD CRADLE OF NATION Declared Birthplace of Americanism Rather Than Plymouth.

URGES PERPETUAL LICENSE TAGS RENE VIVIAXNI FOR AUTOS, AFTER INSPECTION TRIP CLEVELAND, October 22.—Lon- don is the best regulated city in Furope from a traffic standpoint, and Paris probably is the worst, Edward May, police inspector of Cleveland, reported upon his re- turn from a trip through European cities to inspect traffic conditions. Obedience of the English populace . to the police and the traffic rules and lack of obedience or regard by the French populace accounts for the difference, he said. Inspector May recommends the abolishment of the present yearly automobile license plate and sub- stitution therefore of a perpetual license, and urges much more stringent examinations for taxicab drivers. He also advocates raised safety zones in the middle of the streets, such as are used in many European clties, to protect the pedestrian from automobiles. Under the system of abolishing the issuance of new license tags, Inspector May said millions of dollars would be saved yearly. License fees would be collected an- nually, as at present, but the license would be valid as long as the car is used. An cxcellent system of licensing taxicab drivers is used in London, he said. Most of the drivers are middle aged. The examinations for licenses are stringent and when a man gets one he is cautious to keep it. Few of the chauffeurs are mixed up in crimes. At one ex- amination at which the inspector attended, he said one man appeared for the forty-ninth time and failed again. Men rarely pass the test the first time, he declared. Applicants for licenses in Man- che: England, must be almost ath with a character next to TEACHER OF HISTORY IN WINTER IS GLOBE TROTTER IN SUMMER By the Associated Press. LAWRENCE, Kan., October 22.— Globe trotter in the summer and professor of history at the Unl- versity of Kansas in the winter is the program followed by Prof. David L. Patterson, who returned the middle of September from & three-month trip to Alaska. Sum- mer before he circled South Amer- ica, visiting a score of the cities along the west coast and back the east coast, after a trip across the Andes. Two summers before that, in the early, days of the world war, he visited the battle fronts of Europe as a war correspondent for an American newspaper. On all these trips Prof. Patter- son observed closely the condl- - tions of the countries through which he traveled, and from the South American and European trips brought back large numbers of representative newspapers for his library. His early newspaper training mpelled him, on his Alaskan trip, to note the great forests of spruce, as yet practical- Iy_untouched. The greatest of these Alaskan forests, said Prof. Patterson, are in the southeastern part. The: ¢ controlled through the Unit st servi and but two permits to paper pulp companies have been issued. These forests are extensive, and need never be exhausted if properly safeguard- ed, Prof. Patterson said, for they form a second growth in thirty ears.

One of these has to do with the future relations between the old and ew worlds. In seeking bases of durable peace in the Pacific, the United States claims the honor of rep- resenting not only North America but tacitly South America. Both have the same problems concerning navigation, trade and races. ash- ington’s Pacific policy interests more or less directly all of the American republics. Monroe Doctrine Still Active. 1 lived long enough in America to realize that political formulas in your are subordinated to practical more than elsewhere. Yet, despite the long controversies con- cerning it, the Monroe doctrine is still an active force. However, there 18 not always agreement as to its in- terpretation. When Roosevelt sum- marized it as “Speak softly, but carry a big stick,” he was not unanimously applauded. Nevertheless, in Europe and the rest of the world, the essen tials of the doctrine huve never been questioned. Great Britain will also have i Washington “a guiding doctrine of more recent origin, but which she has been zealously developing during the last few months. It is the em- pire doctrine. Formerly the empire was an implement of domination. Today it Is a federation. The empire conference in London this stmmer gave definite form to imperial rela- tionships. At the Paris meeting of the allled supreme council In Au- gust, Mr. Lloyd George carefully etated that he had a mandate to speak in the name of the British dominions—not a mandate by divine right, but with the express consent and after thorough discussions with the dominions concerning common in- terest: and Chinese anarchy? ence solutions will be Great Britain has not formulated | pi any organic creed comparsble to the but nevertheless it h. doubtless reconclleble with the interests of the maritime powers, nevertheless are special, as the war proved. I regret io say that de- spite this, the continent will present 2 divided front at the conference. For two years now, France should have been preparing to organize and consolidate these interests. But neither Millerand nor Briand has even attempted it. Yet the peoples which suffered at the hands of Germany and Austria surely have common in- terests which would have been easy to discover. Their agreement on cer- tain definite principles would im- measurably strengthen Kuropean peace. Pence as Its Object. Moreover, neither Great Britain nor the United States could take the slightest umbrage at such an agree- ment, for it would have peace as its object, and peace is the object of the Washington conference. It would have been a splendid thing if Europe had realized such an or- ganization before the conference. However, regrets. won't The one can hope is adoption of such a plan in future.
