Albert S. Bush, Knpna homestead
or, wlio nttendod the Americ.n I c
glon convention as a delegate from
tlio Hawaiian department, returned
to Kauai rftcr nn absence of two
months.
It was tho greatest con coat Ion
the legion ever had, and In tho way
of distinguished guests, tho great
est It will over have. Foch, Persh
ing, Diaz, Beatty, Hodman and Jac
quess, tho great military and no.val
leaders of tho allies, wero gucstt of
tho Legion. Kansas City wai ouis
from the very first and tho city did
lt3elf proud In looking after not. on
ly two thousand delegates, but tho
GS.OOO visitors and guests as well.
"Tho reception given Foch by the
convention when ho was Introduc
ed was tho greatest thing that has
ever been my good fortuno to ex
perience. General Pershing spoko
just before Foch and the reception
given him was wonderful, in fact I
began to feel sorry for Foch, as I
thought that it could not bo possible
to give a greater reception to any
ono than tho one given to Pershing.
Iiut when Foch was Introduced I
saw I was wrong, for it seemed that
everyone of tho 17,000 persons pres
ent was trying to outdo his neigh
bor In. noise, it was. a peculiar sort
of cheer, for It sort of caught you
In the throat and brought tears to
your eyes, but at tho same time it
thrilled you. Thero was no lulls in
it, but seemed a steady roar that
kept growing in volume Instead of
diminishing. I do not know from
my personal experience how long it
lasted as I was too busy cheering
to notice tho lapso of time, but I
think the papers stated that it last
ed some twenty minutes. Tho mar
shal spoke to U3 in French but each
of us had a copy of his speech and
wo remembered enough of our A.
E. F. French to know when to cheer
and when to keep quiet.
"As you know wo had the con
vention pass a resolution in regard
to diversifying tho alien population
of the islands. Wo did not introduce
tho resolution as passed by tho con
vention at Hilo because of tho fact
that it mentioned tho specific bill
and it was thought by tho leaders
in Kansas City that it might bo
claimed that tho Legion was mixing
in politics if it did endorse this par
ticular bill. Comrade Dillingham of
Honolulu post has already given
report on this matter, so I need not
dwell on it.
"We did our best to advertise Ha
wail and you would bo surprised to
know how many people aro inter
ested in the islands. On ono of the
convention days wo brought on the
floor a big box of llima leis and wo
Just about broke up the meeting,
All the delegates tried to get one,
and Commander Emery kept rapping
for order and finally ho did got ev
eryone quiet, then ho sent a message
by a Coy Scout that ho wanted fif
ty leis for tho officers on the plat
form. We sent them up and then
tho rush started again. Tho officers
all put on their leis and it looked
very pretty from the floor. Wo did
not have near enough leis, in fact
5,000 would bo a bit nearer tho fig
ure needed than tho thousand that
wo had. Tho lei is well known in
tho states and people on tho main
land immediately associate It with
Hawaii. All tho Hawaii delegates
wore feather leis in tho parade and
excited not a little interest.
"The resolution in regard to ad
justed compensation passed unani
mously and it is tho intention of
tho Legion to keep hammering at
congress until they pass it. This
act is believed by tho Legion to be
the only one that will cover all tho
casjs of tho ex-servico men who are
in need of help.
"It was a great convention and
I am mighty glad that I could go.
Wo had a great timo and wo did a
lot of work. And last of all I am
glad to get back, for after all thero
is no place like Hawaii No!."

PHILIP L. HICE, Chairman. '
(From "Facts About Sugar")
Washington, Dec. 15. Tho federal
government does not contcmplato
taking action at tltis time to roliovo
tho sugar situation In tho markets
of the United States, or to loud as
sistance to tho producers in" Cuba in
disposing of their surplus in coun
tries whoro a shortage of sugar ex
ists at tills time.
Trade on Way to Recovery
A definite statement to this ef
fect was made In official circles to
dayi. "Tho Immediate situation is ono
which looks worso than tho future
outlook," It was stated by an offi
cial of the government. Tho state
ment was also mado that 'there aro
strong indications that increased
consumption and decreased produc
tion will servo to bring about a
gradual recovery of prices from
tlioir present depressed state, and
that this natural movement will en
able tho sugar trado to recover with
out activo assistance on tho part of
the government.
The decision by tho administration
to refrain from action in tho matter
comos at tho end of a week which
some official consideration and much
unofficial discussion has been de
voted to sugar, Tho matter came up
at tho cabinet meeting last Friday,
in connection with the bearing upon
tho Cuban situation of tho Inrgo un
sold stock of sugar remaining in
the island. Whilo some timo was
spent in discussing general phases
if the situation, it was announced
after tho meeting that no defnlto
plans for governmental action wero
under consideration. The feeling in
administration circles appears to bo
that the government can do little,
if anything, directly to help the
market situation.
Cuban Situation Discussed
Secretary of Commerce Hoover has
been holding a series of conferences
during the week with sugar men
and others, with a view to tho possi
bility of helping Cuba to dispose of
the accumulated stock of old crop
sugars. Out of those discussions
have come several suggestions for
dealing with various phases of tho
situation.
Ono of these is tho proposal to
permit refiners to import foreign
grown sugar- refine it in bond, and
oxport it, without tho necessity of
tying up hundreds of thousands of
dollars in customs duties.
If a bill to this effect Is Intro
duced Into congress, it is understood
that tho administration will tako a
favorablo attitudo toward It, and
that it will bo supported by tho com
merco officials of tho government.
Another suggestion considered tho
possibility of further utilizing tho
War Financo Corporation to extend
relief to sugar producers In this
country, and also to assist producors
of Cuba In disposing of their pro
duct on tho European market on a
long-term credit basis. This sug
gestion is understood to have been
discarded as not being feasible.
It was proposed also that tho
European relief agencies in this
country, with which Secretary of
Commerco Hoover Is actively associ
ated, lend their agencies to distrib
uting as much of tho surplus of sug
ar as Is required to tho destltuo ar
eas of Europe. This suggestion is
still under consideration, but if ad
opted It would, of course, bo an in
fiuonco of minor importance.
Officials of tliis government havo
not given consideration to any sug
gestion looking to tho restriction or
limitation of sugar production in
Cuba, it was asserted. A very care
ful survey of sugar conditions in Cu
ba has been conducted through trado
channels, and for tho purpose of
determining tho extent to which
production have been touched in thfl
present prices of sugar. It Is report
ed that this inquiry indicates that
tho average cost of production in
Cuba in relation to tho present crop
is 1.9 cents a pound. About 40 per
cent of tho crop, it is stated, will
cost 2.3G cents, while tho remaining
GO per cent will bo produced at
about l.G cents.
Tho feeling exists that theso pro
duction costs aro sufficiently low to
enable tho producers to hold their
own in tho depressed state of tho
market, and until such timo as thero
is a general advance in sugar pric
es. Tho Department of Commerce has
indicated its desire to assist the
holders of sugar in both this coun
try and in Cuba in disposing of their
stocks as far as It is able to do.
The department's attitudo is ono of
"friendly co-operation," and of as
sistance as far as its powers in tho
matter will allow.
