TOXIC July 12-Staryafion or
emigration are the alternatives before
the Japanese masses in view Of their
increasing numbers and the restrict,
ed area Of arabic land in Japan, ac-
cording to Tetsu Maxi, sugar manu-
faeturer. who recently contributed
Ave articles TO the Clip Japan .
foreign trade Is by no means capable,
he thinks, Of sustaining the whole iri
erense Of the nation, and emigration
IL therefore necessary.
He visited the japanese IN Hawaii,
Peru and Brazil and was depressed al
the sight Of their miserable condition.
He enumerates three causes which
handieap the Japanese emigfanf. The
first Is lack Of the pioneer spirit on
the part of the emigrants; the second
is the unwisdom Of emigration com
paDies and the third Il the lack Of
guidance and support by the govern
ment. Japanese emigrants, in fact,
are simply thrown abroad. He re-
cards South America as the best field
for Japanese emigration.

proximately ! ,850,O00 tons. but there is
grave doubt whether they will be able,
under the conditions noted, to obtain
this amount.
The United States Is fortunate, In this
year cf general sugar pfivation, in pro-
dueing the largest crop of sugar in Its
history. Including both the e0ntinental
and insnlar portions Of the country, the
output Of sugar grown from American
soil viii reach approximately 2,700, 900
ordinary tons, Or nearly 100000 tons
more than last season. Leaving ont
of account the Philippine crop, only
portion of which win reach the Amer
lean market, and the Virgin Islands,
which have,beeome q part Of the United
States territory within the present year,
there still remain over 2 100000 tons Of
Americanygrown sugar. This Is q nota-
BILE record Of production, which makes il
possible for the United States to disre-
gard the thought Of sugar famine and
FOR American consumers TO continue to
obtain their sugar more eheaply than
those Of any other important sugar i'm
porting nation.
Cuba stin Leads World
Cuba retains ts>position as the lead.
ing sugar produeef Of the world and BY
all odds the greatest exporter Of sugar.
While the Cuban crop Is considerably
below early estimates, the final outturn
win be larger than was anticipated two
or three months ago and win be close TO
the figures Of last season.
In South America serious shortage
has occurred in Argentina, where pro
dustion IL 100000 tons below consump-
ton requirements. Elsewhere In the
Western Hemisphere the crop IS prac.
tically normal.
In the Far East, Form0sa, Java, the
Philippines and Australasia all show
appreeiahle gains over last year 3 pro-
dpction. The important question IN re-
lation,to this Far Eastern sugar is how
much Of II win he able to reach the
European market. II Is evident that
the European countries which are most
urgently In need of Javan. sugar, for
example, will not be able to supply the
tonnage necessary for its movement. II
Is possible, however,, IL concerted action
Is taken by the United States aud the
other nations interested as has been
suggested recently In Washington, that
ships may be found to move the surplus
portion Of this crop. From present In
dications this seems TO be the most Inn
p0rtant undetermined factor affecting
the sugar situation for the remainder
Of the present season.

WHAT HAWAII IS SAID
TO OWE TO LOUISIANA

Commenting on the recently pub,
lished report of the department OF com
merce ON the cane sugar industry IN
Hawaii, Porto Rico, Louisiana and
Cuba, the Louisipna Planter says edi
t0ially: ~
ssThe order of inpastiaation has been
made IN line Of precedence with what
is apparently the highest order Of sugar
work frst, with that which is the least
high, or the less carefully conducted,
coming the last.
Hawaii, which got its start in The
sugar industry from the reciprocity
treaty with che United States IN 1875,
the sugar industry from onisiana, and
Through experts secured from our Lou
isiana sugar experiments station, stands
o. the acknowledged leader in inten-
sive and efficient sugar manufacture
in the world. We would say, however,
in that connection that even Hawaii
with its splendid display Of engineer
ing ability and It's intense research in
every direction that would increase the
final yield, or diminish the cost Of pro-
dnetion Of sugar, had in all these ad-
Vanced movements Java as Its com
Ipetitof in most things and ms its tutor
in some.
II Is an admitted fact that so tar
AZ Hawaii Is concerned its exceIlent
methods and infinite research work
have involved an enormous cost en- the
first instance and continued enormous
cost In their maintenance. Irrigation
stands as the c0rnerstone, il we may
use the mixed metaphor, of the Hawaii

WORLD CROP OF
SUGAR is short
Statistics Show That Production
This Season win Be
Under Average

In careful compilation Of hEures
that shows the shortage Of sugar avail
able for consumption throughout the
world, Facts Abont Sugar gives o.
graphic review Of the enormous reduc-
tion of the world production for the
present season despite the increase In
American production by more thnn
zoo, 900 tons.
II should ben0ted that the figures in
the following table are given partly in
terms Of sugar ready for consumption,
as In The case Of the United States beet
crop, and partly In terms Of raw sugars
which are reduced BY an amounted six
,or seven pounds in every hundred by
the process Of refining. Expressed In
terms Of refined sugar. therefore, and
placed on the basis on which the sugar
actually enters consumption the total
would be approximately Is, 140,000 Or
binary tons or some 100000 tons less
than the figures as given IN the total
below. The table and comment Of this

There is apparently no way Of,
checking the needless ,knosker who
seems 10 think it clever and popular
to rush into print with false state
ments and wailing sympathy for
Others whom he declares are being

The following news despatch Is

belief that the man interviewed is n
Responsible party.
When Mr.. Tetsu Maxi was in the
Tslands and whore he made his obser-,
vationsTof conditions on Hawaiian
plantations is hard at this time to de-
tcfmine. He apparently has no knowl-
edge Of the bonus system of wages
being enjoyed by Japanese, as wen as
AN other laborers, on Hawaiian plan

rigidity with which sanitary, police

The worlds sugar production for
1861, which mems roughly the SUI
gar supply for the current year, pre-
sents some striking changes from the
preceding season. The most noteworthy
Iof these is decline Of approximately
4 800 600 ordinary tons In the total
available yield OF sugar. This measures
the extent of the shrinkage
In the beet sugar output Of Europe, as
the slight,decrease in production in the
Western Hemisphere is Offset by mod,
crate gain in the Far Eastern crop.
The decline in European production
is distributed among all the warning
nations. The greater part Of the fall
ing off has taken place in Germany,
Austria- Hungary, aud Russia, these
three being the chef beet growing
countries OF Europe. Under existing
conditions II is impossible to obtain ex-
net statistics Of crops, but the most re-
liable reports obtainable place the de-
.crense In tho output of the Central En-
pires ut $4,000 tons and in that Of
Russia at over 800 900 tons.
Each Year Shows Decline
With each year OF the titanic strug-
gle the sugnr crop Of the warning ma
ticns has shown a continuing decline.
II seems probable that this tendency
will persist while the conflict lasts ID
spite OF the acute sugar shortage that
now prevails virtually throughout Eu-
rope. Lack Of adequate labor to make
the crop and lack Of fertilizer are twin
causes of progressive agricultural de-
cline that II seems impossible TO arrest
An spite offthe herculean efforts that
are being put forth BY. the various gov
Under stress Of wartime conditions
fopsnmpiion in Europe has been sharp
~ eprtailed. Transportation facilities
have become the decisive fnetor in the
sugar situation so far as the United
Kingdom, France, Russia, Italy and The
non-producing neutral nations are con.
eerned. II Is no longer a qnestion Of
what they want or need, but Of what
they can get with the very lmitcd
amount OF ocean tonnage that can be
spared for the movement Of sugar inn
ports. sa
The Central Empires are cut Of al
most entirely from outside supplies and
must subsist as best they con on what
they produce at home. No doubt they
have obtained small amounts from
neighboFing neutral eoutries during the
past year, but with the strict embargo
now being enforced II is not likely that
further supplies of any consequence
can be obfniDet from this source.
United States Crop INCREASES
The United Kingdom, Continental
Europe aside from the Central Empires
and the countries or northern Africa
along the Mediterranean consumed last
year about 2,700,000 ordinafy tons. This
year, with The enforced reductions in.
troduced through lowering rationing,
these countries win have need for APP
