NO WORK OF THE PLANTERS

Those who took the trouble to ascertain the facts
do not need a prompt denial by the sugar planters
that they opposed national guard mobilization
through their Washington representative. The
story of such opposition never amounted 70 more
than vague rumor for whose authenticity no one
would stand sponsor.
1t has been more or less of an open secret that
the territorial food commission fefeseeing disaster
to Hawaiian industry if the guard it existed a
few weeks ago was modified conferred with the
governor and with General Strong; that the result
of their conference and Of the armys own view of
the situation led to orders to consolidate
the guard into two regiments
Had the entire guard as previously organized
been mobilizedySft would have swept thousands of
aborers from the plantations at the very time when
they were most needed--aud at the very time when
Hawaiis sugar is needed as never before to help
feed the nation and its Allies in war.
The American sugar industry must be kept GO
ing full speed ahead to meet tremendous emery
ency. This fact is known in Washington it is
known in every reproducing state and territory
The national government is just as vitality concern
ed in seSing that the sugar industry does not lose
in productivity as is any community, including Ha-
wall. ~
No representation was needed by the planters at
Washington as to the advisability of keeping on
Hawaiian plantations as large proportion of male
labor as possible no representation by the planters
at Washington was needed to show that mobiliza-
ton of the guard under the old plan would cripple
the industry disastrously. Nothing more was need,
ed than the fact that the National Guard of Hawaii
was heavily recruited directly from plantation lab
Orers. That fact was known to the food commits,
sion, and the Star Bulletins information has been
that the food commission and not the planters took
the initiative of action. ...
Their action was taken, it has been definitely I'M
derstood, with the full knowledge and approval of
the military authorities here-moreoyer, upon. a
statement of the military as we'll as the economic
situation. ....
