Efforts to colonize japanese in Brazil
have been a failure. This Is the in

JaneirO. But another effort to plant A

The report says that in reference to
the experiment Of hiring japanese labor
ers on the coffee plantations I'M Brazil.
probably one reason for the failure Of
the experiments has been the unwilling
ness of Brazilian planters to allow the

systems OF work to the industry In
winch they were engaged.
While the experience .hus far has
been failure, the State Of Rio de ia
