number of experiments in exporting the
 negro to the Philippines and Havana.
 In every case of which the speaker has
 heard the negroes before long came
 straight back to the south in a 3Iffy
 and he said he believed some of them
 swam the Pacific Ocean to get here
 They have been tried in the Hawaiian
 Islands and the big sugar planters of
 that cluster of islands have had to
 give up the idea of getting anything
 out of them. He left the subject of
 negro labor by concluding that the
 negro will not work when he has no
 competition.
 That the Chinese exclusion law eut | out coolie labor from our islands as well as the United States proper was | regretted by the speaker He said
 there Is scarcity of labor in all our | possessions. He told of the extremes
 to which the Hawaiian people go to get l labor for the cultivation of their sugar
 lands. He spoke of the fact that they spend as much as S150 to get their lands in shape for cultivation. These are the volcanic lands and they require from ten to fourteen months for the ripening of the crops. but their sa1va- tion lies in the fact that the cane con- tains wonderful per cent. of sacchar rine and the sugar is of the highest quality.
 The Panama canal project. Colonel Wiley believes will meet with untold difficulties unless the cooiies are given chance to so to the zone and engage in the trying labor there.
 Undesirable Asiatics.
 No American worthy of the name is desirous of bringing undesirable Asiatics to this country said the speak CT. But don't believe that there Is any disc danger to result from the immigration of some of the aliens under proper methods
 The scarcity of labor in the fruit regions of California was pictured. There only recently the school period had to be shortened in order to let the children away from their books and to work In the orchards where there were not enough others to do the labor.
 A comparison next was entered upon between the Japanese and the Chinese | laborer The two characters present in a'moral and economic analysis qual- | ities of great contrast. The Chinese | never vote, they never nurse political | aspirations, never try to register, do | not intermarry with Americans and do | not amaigamate in any way. They could not contan1inate our civilization, | therefore, and could not be the peril | that some people make of them When | the Chinese hnisDes up with their labor | contracts. whether it be for i've or ten | or twelve years. they almost invariably | recross the Pacific and die in the home | empire and are buried in the public | burial places.
 To solve the boycott troubles, in the | opinion of Colonel Wiley, requires an | unremitting and unsectionaI study of | the conditions of China and the equity | of markets. |
 The characteristics of the Japanese l were next taken up in their distinction | from the Chinaman. That the Japan ese have indomitable energy and re- markable adaptability to all lines of | trade and commerce are not to be de- nied. They have much that enables | them to advance in both political and | commercial channels. They have self | reliance and great knack of imita- | tion. With all this, they lack in ideal | ism. and, said Colonel. Wiley: Al | though they are industrious and ef- | ficient in most things they undertake. | they are deficient in veracity. They | do not seem to conceive of anything in the abstract. They will not concede proposition in the abstract If 1t will cause that any concrete discomfort. Hence, we have it that the Jap will not observe an obligation. They will not keep contract very frequently because they fail to appreciate that they are bound in any way"
 This lack of honesty can rarely be Iound in the makeup of the Chinese The speaker gave several observations that he had made on his recent trip which keenly illustrated the principle Of honesty. He alluded to the remark. able statistics that in 1000 years Of the history of China. there has not been more than one bank failure. The Chl- namah IS always ashamed of a dls- honest act, and it comes from the prop CT concept of an obligation Tney teaE to lose thelr credit. Because tnel
