FRANCE V Not only has I'rance accepted the conference the invitation to the Genoa without United waiting to see what would do, but it seems granted all which is States for attend- previous taken it would she along quite in dictions. France’'s assumption, however, that aty has she pre- accord with the reparations matter and the Tre of Versailles will not be cited, and will not play a part in the discussions which will arise, seems to be taking a little too much for granted. Tt is probable that she she must make - this assumption before she could consistently accept the invita- tion.. She may be well aware, or Premier Poincare may be well aware, that these matters will not be for- gotten entirely when the nations get together at Genoa, but it would be quite inconsistent in her, is the feel- ing, to agree to meet with representa- tives of all the other nations appar- ently kwowing that these questions would be brought up. A study of the little France-Eng- land tilt in which Ambassador Jusser- and Lord yesterday, feels ‘and represented France lec spoke .for England suggests that England was not quite fair to France in the mention of the article by Captain Castex, a lecturer in a school for French Naval officers. Lee is quoted as ng that, article, he had no Lord after reading the doubt but that Castex was a “whole hearted supporter of the necessity of the German system of unlimited sub- marine warfare,” whichiwas a pretty thing to say considering the FFrench submarine attitude the position occupied by Captain Castex. If, however, it is true as reported, that Lord Lee “forgot” to say that Captain Castex closed his argument on sub- marines with the words “The Germans argue this way,” and such “forgettul- " was intentional, the implication arises that lord Lee not con- cerned lest he offend the I"rench Am- bassadoy which, of course, would amount to offending France. It is in- Frenchman in put severe and nes was conceivable that a Captain Casts position forth personal views as wise and at- tempt to show their wisdom and righteousness to Krench officers or prospective officers or the French people by closing his argument with the declaration that it followed Ger- man lines of thought. All of which is significant in view of the fact that so much depends up- on the English-French attitude when the Genoa conference discusses the peace and rehabilitation of Europe— and while the United States remains uncertain as to whether or not to at- would tend.

Per- haps his friends think none the less of him—if those friends pride them- selves upon surfa tions and caring only for what lies in the heart. But if a Japanese were continually unshaven may be little question but that his habit would be cited as one of the very good rea- sons why the race should be despised. When a people may boast of a man wise enough to see the advantage to be gained by others of his blood from keeping shaved—at least every other it is well to watch that race for further developments, subtle, wise, in- sidious, which would their power even greater than it is today. And, incidentally, it behooves Ameri- cans in Honolulu especially, to keep themselves shaved. sed to Japancse “IKKeep your beneath there day make THE GRAND LIST The reduction of the Grand List of over a million and a half dollars over that of last year discloses the condi- tions which it was expected a prophe- sied deduction wouid indicate. It re- flects the precaution of business and manufacturing as seen for the lower valuations of stocks on hand found by inventories. The prevalent business and uncertainty could have brought no other result. Probably the reduction would have larger if merchants manufacturers had been able to unload as mugh as they desired. Thé past year has been a time when men in business and industry wished to get rid of what was on hand and start afresh when and if business and industry picked up. The unemployment situation is a di- rect result of this feeling and the re- of the unemployment may be: the inventories going to make up the Grand List. The the number of automgbiles is the result of the same sentiment, of course. The consumer fewer, the manufacturer produced fewer .There was compara- tively far more dealing in sccond hand cars which added nothing to the gen- eral wealth, A greater care in the details of financial managentent may be seen in the loss in ten per cent penalties im- on those delinquent in filing lists of their possessions.
