cured? Are the capitalists. the mill
owners. going to abdicate? Not un-
less the millennium is silently steal
ing in upon us. Granted that selfish
ness that overrides public good Ia
short-sighted selfishness still prevails
on this mundane sphere If the COM
mon good is to be guarded as of more
Importance than any individual inter-
estes, society in its organized capacity,
must become its custodian. There
seems TO be little hope that capitalists
will so far set aside their immediate
personal interests as to bring about
conditions such as will make the cul-
tivation of sugar cane by white la
borers possible in time to save the
country to our Western civilization.
The Government must intervene.
Before proceeding further, let ID be
said again that the change must be
gradual. The Government owns. prac-
tically, the whole of some of the plan
tations. When these leases expire. let
the mills pass to the ownership OF the
Government on equitable terms, or il
this is impossible, let the Government
erect mills in their stead Then let
these mills be run for the common
good. Let the charges for manufacture
ing sugar be such as barely to cover
the cost pay interest on the bonds
with which the mills are built, and
provide q small sinking fund event
ually to pay the face of the bonds.
Let the lands be cut up and leased to
the white laborers on reasonable
terms and in small tracts. Let these
lease-holders work their holdings sep
arately or let them form cooperative
unions, as may seem best to them.
But let all combinations OF holders OF
Government lands be kept under prop
er restriction. Thus the conditions
necessary to the Introduction of white
labor for the cultivation of sugar-cane
will be secured
Let it be borne in mind that this
scheme is presented in outline only.
The details and the extension OF the
scheme will be the result of mature
and deliberate thought and expert
ence. SOCIALIST.
