Bulletins FAR EASTERN TRADE RESUMES HONOLULU (AP The flow of Far Eastern trade which was choked off by the Pacific War, has resumed but only as a trickle. Chopsticks, dried seaweed, playing cards, kitchen knives and crockery made up the first commercial shipment here from Japan In almost six years. frfffovw. .taiBtiiy.jajfc. . ... A transport unloaded the cargo here recently along with a rou -j line asscK-imeni 01 iooasiuiis and curio.5 from China duck eggs, bamboo shoots, shark fins and camphor wood chests. No importer since Marco Polo could have become excited over the entire lot. But It was a fair sample of what has been moving in two years of peace-time shipping. What about. the fabulous treasures of the Orient? The Jade, teak, bronze, porcelain and silk which western traders have been haggling over for some 700 years? Honolulu Importers have not brought in a single Oriental im port of high value since 1942, customs officials reported. Before the war, they did a substantial business In luxury Items. Unstable eastern economy, for Instance, has erected a complete barrier against jade Im porting, reported a buyer back from China. He said he was returning almost empty-handed after spending a year in the Far East for a San Francisco company. "Jade In China is valued above all other possessions," the buyer explained. "It is a substantial and fluid form of wealth now when money is almost worthless. Even In United States cur rency prices are from five to 10 times higher than in prewar times. Jade prices are higher in Shanghai than in New York." The merchants of non-luxury items tell about the same story. One Honolulu shopkeeper com plained that Chinese linen has been collecting dust on nis shelves for a year because he cannot sell it for what it cost Although occupation authori ties have officially reopened limited trade with Japan, a substantial volume of business Is not expected for a long time The first local merchants in Japan said they ordered ary goods, canned food, bamboo novelties and celluloid toys but did not know when they could expect delivery. Pacific traders and shippers are not optimistic about their future business. They agree that what was once a steady flow of commerce will remain a back wash until there have ..been marked economic changes In the source of supply.

Local Tides Saturday, November 8, 1947 High 10:06 19.6 feet 22:25 18.8 feet Low 3:38 5.7 feet 16:21 6.9 feet POPPY DAY" SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1947 VIEW OF THE FACT that tomorrow is Poppy Day, IN lt Is my hope that the citizens of this city on that day join in this tribute to our hero dead by wearing one of these memorial flowers. No one of us need be reminded that these small scarlet blossoms are more than merely flowers to wear on our lapels. They have a significance which reaches deep into 'our hearts. They are symbols of courage. The poppies, worn on this day which means so much, bring back the thought of those who sacrificed so greatly. They bring a consciousness of those disabled veterans "to whom we owe infinitely more than gratitude can ever repay, though in our hearts that gratitude Is deep and will ever abide." Each year the Canadian Legion conducts its poppy sale to raise funds for relief work. The popples are made by disabled servicemen who are physically unfit to work elsewhere. Those whose patriotic heroism we remember on this occasion are far beyond the need for our help. But we who are sincerely grateful to our war heroes have an opportunity to repay the debt we owe them in a way that they themselves would approve. It IS recognition of this debt that the Canadian Legion coducts their distribution of popples. Let us all Join to "honor the dead by helping the living." In these days of Canada's remembrance, the poppy carries an added slgnlflcance'ln its appeal "to care for him who has borne the battle and for his widow and orphans." Wear a poppy on Poppy Day and "Keep the Faith." NORA E. ARNOLD, nivL 'i.'.'; Mayor.
