VIEWS ON HAWAII

TACOMA, CWash), May Estate
Senator Andrew Heinrich, just return
ed from Honolulu, declares that trade
conditions in Hawaii are very much
depressed, and unless the Government
soon permits the use of contract labor
the sugar industry will die out. Briefly
stated Heinrich believes that the Ha-
allan islands will never become pros
porous unless the Federal Government
either grants them some form of colo
NAL government calculated to raise
revenue or permits the use of contract
labor for cultivation of their chief
agricultural product Heinrich found
conditions at Honolulu anything but
healthy and declares the outlook is
extremely gloomy for commercial in
terests there unless some way can be
speedily devised to enable the big su-
gar plantations to secure at fair prices
labor with which to harvest and man
ufacture the raw product.
Not only has Hawaii been deprived Of
an annual revenue of more than
million and half dollars by the loss
of custom duties, but plantations are
now confronted by n crisis IN the labor
market which has nearly bankrupted
every planter over there Heinrich was
told that only one plantation is now
a paying investment, that one declar-
ing a dividend Of per cent last sea-
