BAKER TO STUDY
RACE PROBLEMS
Noted MAGAZINE Writer Here
Investigating Local
Conditions.

Il nm here 70 study the sociological
question: said Ray Stannard Baker
at his room al the Royal Hawaiian
this afternoon in response to ques-
ton by a Blu / lie t II reporter. Mr..
Baker arrived in the Siberia Tuesday.
What phase of it are you looking
into?" was asked
"Well, wish to see what the Jap
ense and Chinese are doing here. We
hear a great deal about the inlmigra-
tion question:, and with the improved
means of transportation the race
question in a few years will be the
dominant question the world over.
81 have studied European immigra-
ton, and | spent two years in the
south looking into the race question
there.
Here | think is the best place to
study the Chinese and japanese, for
you people have met the question
sooner than anyone on the mainland" :"
Mr. Baker stated that the recent
visit of Commissioner of immigration
Keefe. and his report on the Filipino
immigration had nothing to do with
his visit He expects to be here for
several weeks and in that time will
look into all phases of the subject
which has brought him to Hawaii.
In speaking of yesterdays floral pa,
rade Mr.. Baker said that it was the
most wonderful thing he had ever
seen, and he had not supposed that
such parade, in which all national
tiles took part, could be given at any
place.
Mr.. Baker is one of the best-known
magazine writer's of the present day
and he comes to Hawaii on a special
assignment from his magazine, to
which he will contribute a series of
articles. His special field is investi-
CATION of political and industrial con-
ditions.
Today Mr. Baker was taken to the
Senate by Alexander H. Ford, who
formerly worked with him, and Sen
ator Albert Judd took him in tow to
show him the Senate and House.
After visiting both legislative bodies
he was presented to Governor Walter
F. Frear by Senator Judd and had
talk with that official
proyements contemplated during 1911.
The policy of building quarters for
families will be continued. In this con-
nection il may be appropriate to state
that during the past four years 275
dwellings have been built on this plan
tation This does not include enlarge
ments of houses already built, which
has been and is continually going on.
The interesting feature of this state
ment is that there are no more work
men on the payroll than there were
four years ago.
General.
There is nothing much else to say
This year, which has ended, has been
prosperous one. The general condi-
tion of the estate Is good And we will
in all likelihood do fairly well again
this season"

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 23.-The
climax of bitter discussion today over

separated them.
