From the Honolulu Bulletin, March 6,
1906, first column, first page:
The emigration of japanese from Ha-
wall TO the mainland, and the PROPOSE
ton of the immigration of Portuguese
or other European settlers are matters
that are coming closer and closer to-
gether in the arena of local problems.
The two ideas find a center IN the
executive, if nowhere else, and Gov
ernor Atkinson is feeling the GEN.

= If il be true, as the Japanese emigra-
ton agents contend, that the planters
are doing all in their power to prevent
the emigration of japanese laborers,
then ii NAV be inferred that they are
the less likely to come to the Cover
nor's terms in the matter OF offering
inducements to labor settlers from Eu-
rome. He (the Acting Cover

labor be considered a cause OF the sugar

From the best of authority it was
learned this morning that the Governor,
although he remains quiet, to all ap-
pearances, has taken up the immlgra-
tion and emigration matters, with the
utmost preparedness. He wants to get
hold of the books of the various plan
tation agencies. He wants to see to
whom certain money has been paid for
legal services. More particularly, he
wants access to the books of the sugar
concerns to whom was paid certain
sum of two thousand dollars for legal
or advisory services.
Of course the Governor has no power
to demand the books of the plantation
agencies, or of any of them. The only
way this could be effected would be
through the United States District At
torney taking such action in the matter
as would necessarily call for the pro-
duction of the books
Governor Atkinson is in close touch
with President Roosevelt in this affair,
and stands ready at any moment to
notify the President by cable in case
he should see fit to recommend any i'm
mediate change among Federal APP
pointees in this city. This information
comes from one close to the Governor,
and whose word need not be questioned.
Said one closely identified with the
proceedings this morning: Governor
Atkinson feels that the planters are
against him in this labor question. He
Is deeply interested in this japanese
emigration matter, for the reason that
he has cause to believe that the planters
have In their employ some one whose
position, in view of present develop
ments, should not be identified with the
interests of the planters. IF it becomes
necessary, he will not hesitate to recon-
mend change"
