GENERAL REVIEW.
immigration has been one of the
most seriously discussed problems Of
the week. A cablegrarn from f. NJ.
Hatch stated that Attorney General
Bonaparte had ruled that states
which is taken to mean territories also
may assist immigration from public
funds, but immigrants whose passages
are paid by associations will not be
admitted. It is further communicated
that this ruling will not prevent the
admission of the Spaniards coming in
the Heliopolis and the Portuguese in
the Kumeric. At the same time the
conviction is general that the impor-
tation of laborers by the Planters AS
ISOLATION, which pays the expense.
through the medium of the Territorial
Board of immigration win end, under
the new immigration law, with the
arrival of the shiploads just mention
ed. Therefore, if European immigra-
ton is to be continued it must be at
she direct expense of the Territory,
and it is conceded beyond a doubt that
this can only be either through an in
crease of taxation or an increase of
the Territorial bonded Indebtedness, :
the latter plan having few or no adj 6
vocates and the former eliciting con-
fusing variety of schemes for higher
taxation. Secretary Atkinson has voic- I
ID the opinion of many in advocating, t
Is a policy for immediate adoption,
he putting forth of inducements to
he European 1aboring element now r
lere to remain in the country. The y
'eason back of such a policy is the T
act that many Portuguese, some of 4
hem having lived here more than a )
core of years and others born and r
cared in the islands, are responding 9
o the lure of high prices for labor in U
fan Francisco. The counter attrac- =
ions recommended are the giving of
ne mechanical jobs on plantations to
hese people and the setting of them a.
pon homesteads of their own near to r.
heir employment. If legislation is n
eeded to meet the crisis, there is less a.
han three weeks time in which to ~
e-fect and pass measures. Being a is
natter in which the entire community q.
! interested it seems to be one call W
1g for thoroughly representative, as f,

Governmental and general-tegether to

airing an advantage it sees for Jap f.
