Mr.. Damon's mission to Italy is watched
with great interest, and
mr.. Damon's it is hoped it will be
nission to Italy. fruitful of beneficial re-
suits. Every effort
should be made to get communication
from Mr.. Damon before the meeting of
the Planters Association reporting pro-
gress. But, with all due respect to Mr..
Damon and those who think as he does,
we are impelled to ask Why if the immi-
grafton of Latin race is to be encouraged,
we should not cling to the Portuguese, who
have been tried, rather than experiment
with other nationalities F? The experiment
with Italian labor in the United States has
not in general been successful. To be
sure Mr.. Damon proposes to encourage
the agricultural classes to come here; but
even if this effort at selection is successful,
the same difficulty complained of by Senior
Canavarrho, namely the lack of domestic
comforts on the plantation, would soon
stop the immigration. Furthermore, how
is the selection to be made? What is to
prevent the rough element of the cities
that are a curse in the United States-from
following in the wake ? The Portuguese
of the Azores are essentially an agricultural
people, many who come here have worked
in sugar-cane fields from childhood under
climatic conditions almost identical with
those in Hawaii.

Importance of the nual meeting of the
Labor Question. Planters Association,
which falls due on the
10th instant, is the labor question, and the
report of the Labor Committee of that
organization will be looked forward to by
the public with great interest. The recent
promotion of so many great sugar enter
prises, with such general distribution of
stock in the corporations, has made
nearly all classes of people in the islands
interested parties. This fact has also COM
pGcated the labor question. Heretofore,
arrangements for labor were nearly ade-
quate to the requirements, but the develop
ment of these new sugar estates will require
such large numbers of men that, unless
some plan for the importation of free labor
is hit upon, the price of labor will rise to
prohibitory figures. Even now wages are
increasing very appreciably
In Hawaii the importation of labor to
meet the growing requirements of the pro-
gressive wave of prosperity that is sweeping
over us is an absolute necessity. Under
annexation, contract labor is an impossi-
bility, and how to induce the importation
of free labor and provide for the payment
of passage money by the laborer is the
knotty problem to be solved.

lEx-Minister Damon's rebuff in attempt
ing Italian immigration has met with a
parallel in Cuba, where recent scheme
to colonize Italians has met with bitter re-
sistence from the property owners, the
latter claiming that the Italians would not
aid in the development of the country's
agricultural and industrial resources nor
assimulate with the native population.

Takes Best inc the three nations
IabO. erS? from which we have
drawn our labor, many
interesting facts are drawn The most
appalling of them, perhaps, is the statement
of the Japanese consul that by the first of
January there will be upwards of $4,000 of
his countrymen located here. This out
numbers all other classes in Hawaii except
the Hawaiians. AS free laborers, as they
must be under American law, it is doubtful
if the Japanese will prove desirable. The
propensity of the 'little brown man. to
strike is likely to jeopardize our principal
industry, which requires steady labor the
year round. 1t is noteworthy that the Jap
anese consul comedies that his countrymen
work more steadily here under the contract
system than they do in their own country
which seems evident that they cannot be
too fully depended upon under free sys-
TEN. The Chinese consul also remarks
the same thing concerning the Chinese.
But as the Chinese will probably be ex-
cluded under American law, they cannot
be considered possibility
