- and now engaged In. developing
two of the largest sugar plantations in
the Philippines, believes that the time
is coming when consolidation Of sugar
properties will solve many of the
problems confronting the painters OF
these Islands. Mr. Fairchild is here
on business, and expects to leave for
Washington soon.
In an interview given yesterday Mr..
Fairchild talked about the results OBJ
tanned by the Mindoro and San Carlos
sugar companies, of which he is the
head, and pointed out that they are
doing q great deal, not alone for them
selves but for the people of the Phil
ippines with whom they are working.
He said that the natives are happy and
contented HOder the existing system,
which enables them to buy the land
they are cuttivating on yearly in
stallment basis, with a percentage Of
their crop.
Consolidation L. Profitable
He also declared that the tendency
is to keep the number of centrals to the
minimum, while enlarging the capacity
of each operating plant, and added
that this tendency would sooner OF la
ter make itself felt in Hawaii.
In speaking Of the reported combina-
tion of the Lihue and = Makee sugar
plantations Mr.. Fairchild said
"Such a move il seems to me would
be advantageous to all concerned l
have for a good many years argued
that there are too many eentrals on the
Island of Kauai. Two would, in my
opinion be ample to handle the produc-
tfon of cane, if properly placed. There
are now four or five. l need not point
out the enormous saving in the over
head operating expenses that would
follow such q consolidation.
3 ,"As things now are we do not have
TO worry about the extra expense of
the additional eentrals, but if the time
should ever come when we should lose
the protection of the tariff then some
method would have TO be adopted t.
ent down the cost price of producing
the sugar If the plantations are to be
kept alive and flourishing. The elimi
nation of unnecessary centrals and the
grinding of increased quantities of
cHne In each would mean an enormous
reduction in the cost of production. "
