STILL A MENACE If there is any lack of realization along the Pacific coast that America is at war, and the Pacific is a major arena of that war, the latest military order should make that realization likely. Maj. (len. DeWitt, army commandant for the Pacific coast area, has issued a sweeping order to "dim out the coast to a depth of 150 miles back from the seashore in the more populous sections; a less but still considerable depth even in the most remote, lonelv districts.

Night baseball crowds and other night-illuminated gatherings are "out. So are outdoor electric signs, theater marquees and other nocturnal illuminations that light up the heavens. Under the heading of ''military necessity, the entire Pacific coast is being toned down and dimmed off. Obviously this is a move to protect ports and cities, tanks and wharves, warehouses and plants, from night firing from submarines or night raids by planes. It is evidence that the military command on the Pacific coast believes the danger in the eastern Pacific is far from over.

To the people of Hawaii, it is a confirmation of what most people have, rather, reluctantly, felt to be the fact all aldng. Japan is far from barred out of the middle and east areas of the immense Pacific ocean. General DeWitt's order follows hard on the news of new submarine activity by Japan in the north Pacific. Twenty four survivors of the crew of a torpedoed freighter have been picked up and landed at a west coast port. Neither the place of the submarine attack nor the port where the survivors landed has been given out.

But this official announcement adds weight to the reports of recent increased activity by Japanese submarines in the Pacific sea lanes. Yes, the war in the Pacific is very much a threat, to Hawaii and to the Pacific coast. We can't afford any letdown in precautions, any slackening of civilian effort, any weakening of the grim resolve that on December 7 welded this community the navy department. hit that figure in 1942 because of The applicant finally broke down A great part of the work done In surar rationing. the offices serving- Admiral Klnr Government hired over L200 law and admitted that his temporary perfect vision had been doe to a to the Inatives brought about Smg apore and Burma.

Robert Ramspeck, providing a special bonus of $25 monthly to each federal civil service employe for the duration of the war and six months thereafter.

There is no question in my mind this resolution will become law to assist these federal employes to meet the rising cost of living. In my further investigation I find that many private business firms, including the plantations, are assisting their employes in meeting the higher cost of living by granting them a monthly special bonus for the duration. Such being the facts, by all means let us all join as good Americans and support the proposal as a human deed to have the governor of this territory set aside Section 11 of Act 88, special session of lf41 salary schedule, thereby making it possible to give the city and county also territorial governmental employes a special bonus of $25 monthly for the duration and six months thereafter if necessary, so they too may be afforded the needed help to meet rising costs. Furthermore, governmental employes, although good Americans, now finding it impossible to purchase war bonds with their present salary, unquestionably will be only too happy to invest some portion of their additional compensation in war bonds to help America win the war.

after taking It out of the hands of the department of Justice, the army naturally saw only one fact its duty to defend the Pacific coast A part of that duty Is to guard sgsinst fifth column activities, sabotage or any other sort of attack from within. Having been granted blanket authority by the president to prescribe military areas from which any or all persons may be excluded. the army, as might have been expected, took the short cut to absolute protection against any possibility of treason- able activities by Japanese. It interned them all In this, it had the approval of majority opinion on the coast AH testimony agrees that the army has carried out the process of Internment with as much consideration for its victims as any organization, confronted with a similar duty, could have shown.

Employers Asked To LET'S FACE THE FACTS ON DRUNKENNESS Editor The Star-Bulletin: Facts are stubborn things, and the plain incontrovertible fact is that there is too rmieh drunkenness in THIS community at THIS TIME. Anyone but a moron should understand and realize what is meant by THIS TIME.

Full page ads with statements regarding "percentages, etc" together with charges and countercharges by the different groups come pretty close to schoolboy stuff, and as a matter of fact, is the playirg of the game exactly as Hitler would continue to do. It is of the propaganda type which has been so shrewdly and cleverly worked throughout this country by the Hun group for the last hundred years or more, and. strange though it may seem, "has fooled most of the people most of the time." We are already right up to our middle in the bloodiest mess this world has ever seen, and unless each and every one of us, honestly and sincerely uses every ounce of our spiritual, moral and physical strength in the effort to win an ultimate and decisive victory, then all the wealth which anyone may accumulate at this time will not be worth any more than a 2 cent postage stamp in a mud puddle, should we go down in defeat. Several service men have already stated to the writer that the arguments now going on relative to the liquor question, would seem to indicate the subtle and clever though despicable workings of the fifth columnists or saboteurs. Mr.

Harold Hight has suggested that the best way to face the situation is to face it honestly. He is correct beyond the fear of contradiction. I offer the plea and the suggestion to the liquor interests that they face the matter fairly, squarely and honestly, and that the drys do likewise, come together on a common ground and prove that commonsense can prevail and moderation of the liquor situation be made an in Hawaii neL You can do it, gentlemen, you have the brains amongst your groups.

TO CURB PUBLIC DRUNKENNESS One idea of better control of liquor drinking in Honolulu is being given consideration by high-ups in the military governor's office. This is the establishment of a "restricted area," open only to men of the army and navy an area within which there should be one or more large restaurants or beer gardens exclusively for the use of service men. Such a plan, it is argued, would have several advantages: 1.

It would be easier for military police and liquor inspectors to supervise than the taverns, bars and cafes about the city. 2. Service men could be assured of clean, orderly environment; and protected from "gouging," from exploitation and from over-indulgence. 3. Some kinds of entertainment might be provided in such a center that would add to the enjoyment of the customers.

4. In case a thirsty soldier or sailor took a drink too much, he could be handled more easily than wider present conditions. 5. There would be a sharp demarcation between civilians and service men. and the latter would not be blamed for the actions of civilians who get noisy, belligerent and offensive when "liquored up." This, roughly, is an idea that has been given some consideration.

It isn't our idea. We hare no thought of such an arbitrary separation of service men and civilians. The soldier or sailor who gets liberty and wants freedom to enjoy those few precious hours, should be able to go where he pleases and spend his money as he wishes, so long as he doesn't transgress the rules of decency and propriety to which all of us, civilians and service people alike, are answerable. The fact that this special area idea has been given consideration in the military governor's office Is, in itself, sufficient indication that drastic action is needed to fcheck public drunkenness in Honolulu. There is no plan to bring back the days of "prohibition" and no effort to impose blue laws" on any section of the public Humors to that effect are nonsense.

But obviously some curb is necessary. There are too many men and women semi-helpless, from booze, in wartime.

M. Douglas, assistant in charge of the bureau of workmen's compensation, to check their workmen's compensation insurance policies for proper coverage. "Numerous instances have been brought to our attention where owners have transferred legal title to relatives or friends and then left for the mainland or retired from business." Mr. Douglas said. It was explained that In such cases, security for payment of workmen's compensation must be filed promptly by the new owner.

On the other band, where the new enterprise is founded on a copartnership basis, the establishment must be registered with the treasurer of the territory in addition to obtaining security for payment of workmen's compensation with the bureau of workmen's compensation.
