In the Hawaiian Islands,
According to Report.
Fewer japanese Than There
We're Two Years Ago.
Importation Of Europeans Expected
to Solve Labor Problem.

Washington, Dec. CA report on
Japanese conditions in the Hawaiian
islands will be made to President
Roosevelt by Frank P. Sargent, COM
missioner of immigration and natural
ization, as Il result of his recent visit to
theislands.
Commissioner Sargent today 'ex-
pressed theopinion that there are few
or japanese in the Hawaiian islands
now than there were two years ago; a
greater number having come to Amer
lea than arrived in Hawaii. Mkt Saito,
the Japanese consul general at Honolu-
lu, intimated to Mr.. Sargent that the
Japanese government discouraged it's
people from coming to the United
States because Of its knowledge of the
conditions existing liz this country, es-
pecially on the Pacific coast, and that
Japan was apprehensive lest the COM
ing here CT great numbers of japanese
might induce a prejudice against them
that would be embarrassing.
The commissioner of immigration
found that the owners of sugar, pine
apple and other plantations in the is
lands are in serious need of labor and
many Japanese are coming to the is
lands to work on them. He says that it
is the effort of the Hawaiian planta-
lions TO Diversity their labor 50 far as
may be possible. not combining it to any
one race, but getting people from all
quarters of the world.
y second ship load of Portuguese will
arrive at Honolulu in short time and
it is probable that these immigrants
Will make the islands their permanent
home. Many more plantations would
be operated on the islands if it were
possible to obtain the necessary labor
ers, but up to the present time labor
has been scarce. 1t is expected that the
arrival in the islands of European la
borers Will be a solution of the Ia-
waian labor problem.
