PACIFIC HARMONY CENTERS IN HAWAI Islands Playing Important Role in U. S.-Canada- Australia Relations. BY ROBERT T. ALL. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. HONOLULU, March 1.—Here at the ocean crossroads of the Pacific one 18 brought face to face with problems | which border this greatest body of water and which differ so widely from those problems encountered in thei Atlantic area. There is here, for in stance, a continuing fight for white supremacy, and in the new determina- tion that white people shall be para- mount in the Pacific, the Hawalian Islands have assumed a new impor- tance. These islands have become a connec tion link between Canada and Aus. tralla, cementing afresh the natural union of peoples which has been commented upon by British statesmen frequeritly of late as showing the Brit- ish colonies turning in sympathy to- ward the United States, while at the same time maintaining their loyalty to the British crown. Travel Shows Increase. Travel between Canada and Haw: and between Australia and Haw has shown an increase during the la ears three times as great as the increase between Hawali and the American mainland, although the lat ter this season is breaking all records. Commenting on this new “assoclation of peoples of the Pacific,” the Hono- Julu Advertiser editorially says: “We believe the constant develop- ment of a stanch friendship between Americans and Canadians and the Australians is the chief cause of in- creased travel. We are blood brothers and a race of people with common ambitions and ideals, and the greater the friendship among America, Can- ada and Australia the finer will be wocial, civic and other relations in the Pacific and the greater will be the prosperity of this international trin- An organization known as the Pan- Pacific Union is working earnestly trying to bring about a better un- derstanding among all peoples of the Pacific, white and- otherwise. From vear to year, the scope of work be- fore the organization has broadened until its directors say it has as- sumed ‘“‘some of the aspects of a friendly Pan-Pacific League of Na- tions.” Its organizers do not seem to fear this unofficial appellation will con- demn their organization in the eyes of those on the mainland, who so severely condemr the league operat- ing at Geneva. Headquarters in Honolulu. The union has its headquarters here and one of its chief aims and objects is to “bring together from e; to time in friendly conference I in all lines of thought and action in the Pacific area that they may become bet- ter acquainted; to assist in pointing them toward co-operative effort for the advancement of those interests com- mon to all peoples; also to bring to- gether ethical leaders from ever Pa- cific lan®, who will meet for a study of the problems of fair dealings and of ways to advance international jus- tice in the Pacific area, and to bring all nations and peoples about the Pa- cific Ocean into closer friendly.and commercid]l contact “and relationship, aiding and assisting. those in all Pa- cific communities ‘bouer -to under- stand each other and through them to spread about the Pacific a frie feeling of interracial co-operatior. The organization is somewhat ideal- istic, but claims to be making head- way. Its chief director, Alexander Humeford, just back from the Orient, says he found a fine spirit of co-oper- ation there and great interest in the Pan-Pacific conference, to be held the middle of April, as well as in the Pan: Pacific commerclal congress, slated to be held in Los Angeles in 1928. The conference to be held here this vear will deal with education, recrea- tion and rehabilitation. It has been called by President Coolidge and is to be presided over by the American Sec- - retary of the Interior, Hubert Work. Invitations were sent out by the Presi- dent, authorized by Congress, to all nations whose shores are washed by the Pacific. Troubled conditions in China are likely to leave that impor- tant country out and not all of the Central and South American coun- tries have yet accepted. Pleased By ‘Accord. Next Fall the Western United States Chamber of Commerce will meet at Honolulu, which is too interested in strengthening relations among Pacific peoples to recognize its importance in the growing Pacific trade. This is one occasion where the American flag seems to be maintaining some of its prestige, Here at Honolulu the politest pos- sible relationship exists among all peoples of whatever race, but native Hawsiians and Americans alike view with great satisfaction the growing accord between the United States and Australia. They rem»mber when the United States fleet salled from here some 18 months ago on its visit of friendship and regard to Australian waters. The cruise, which was so plainly a significant notice to the world of un- derstanding among the white people of the Pacific, is regarded here as having stimulated the growing trade and travel with the great isiand com- monwealth to the south. It is known here that Australians requested that visit, for they demand ed far more aggressive and wide- sweeping oriental exclusion than did America. (Copyright, 1927.) POKE FUN AT BOSSES.

MONTE NE, Ark, March 1.— At the side of a hill up in the Ar- kansas Ozarks, not far from here, a huge pyramid is rising to hold a message for another civilization. As each stone falls into place, an invalid builder watches. He is W. H. (“Coin”) Harvey, 76, who as the author of “Coin’s Financial School” was an international figure 30 years ago. The world, in his opinion, is in pretty bad way, and his one ambi- tion is to live untll the pyramid :s completed, so that he may leave a warning of the ‘“evils” of the pres- ent and past civilizations.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 1.—Alexander Kerensky, who headed the first gov- ernment set up in Russia after the overthrow of the Czar in the early days of the World War, is a passenger on the liner Olympic, due in New York tomorrow. This was learned today by the As- sociated Press In response to a mes- sage of inquiry sent to the liner. Re- ports that he was aboard had been rumored for several days, but con- firmatfon could not be obtaired and his movements in Europe in the last few weeks had been lost. His reason for coming to America is not known. Outstanding Figure. Alexander F. Kerensky, who rose to head the Russian people on July 20, 1917, and who soon afterward lost his power to the armed soldiers and workmen known as Miximalists or boisheviki, was the outstanding figure in ll\yui}\:) political life for the four montlis following the Russtan revolu- tion. A’ physically weak man, who some- times had to be carried to the platform to make his speeches, he nevertheless discharged his duties With a concentrated intensity that had marked his career as a lawyer, a Socialist and representative in the Duma of Russian workingmen. First made minister of justice, then minister of war and premier, he attempted, through the provisional government, to unify conflicting fac- tions and form a stable government. Fled From Russia. A revolt, headed by Lieut. Gen. Korniloft, then commander-in-chiet of the Russian armies, resulted in the demand that Kerensky surrender his supreme power. Korniloff, however was arrested and the rebellion sup pressed until the rise of the bolshe- viki and Kerensky's flight. His whereabouts remained in mystery for many months afterward until_he turned up in London tc address a labor congress. There after his activities were found to be identified with Russian exiles in England and France in announced movements to overthrow the Soviet government. ¥ Lecture Tour Anticipated. The understanding here is that Alexander Kerensky expects to de. to the United States, but no details of his plans are avallable. He is believed to have relatives in Record Cleared in ‘ Bill Senate Passes| By ‘the Associated Press. A “buck private” in the Span- ish War, who was charged with striking a comrade over the head with a beer bottle, would be given an honorable discharge under a bill passed last night by the Sen- ate on the pleas of Senators Neely, Democrat, West Virginia, and Wadsworth, Republican, ~ New York, both members of the “Loy- al Order of Bucks.” The bill now goes to the House. Senator Neely explained that the soldier, Allen Nichols, formerly with the 2d West Virginia Infant- ry, had been cleared of the charge and the action of the court-mar- tial, which had sentenced him to dishonorable discharge, had been held void. “As a member of the Loyal Order of Bucks Neely gaid. “I ask consideration for this man. “As the other member in the Senate of the al ()rgfi\: of Bucks, 1 give my consent” Sen- ator Wadsworth interjected, and the bill was passed.
