|GALLINcER BACK
. or CHINESE LABOR
IMPORTATION plan

Apparently the movement to secure
the importation of Chinese labor into
Hawaii is moving along in Congress
Yesterday there reached Honolulu
copies of q resolution introduced on
December into the senate by Sen
ator Gallinger OF New Hampshire
The resolution reads:
"ResoIved, that the committee on
agriculture Is hereby directed to make
careful investigation into the advis.
ability OF recommending legislation
that will permit the importation OF
Chinese into the United States, un.
der proper restrictions and reeuta.
tions, during the continuance Of the
war"
The advisability of importing 10000
Chinese laborers into Hawaii, parti.
cularly for work in the rice-fields,
was laid before the congressional par.
ty during its visit last month by prom.
inent Chinese and white spokesmen
for them, but the party had not had
time to get back to Washington and
put this data in shape, so that it is
presumed the Gallinger resolution is
Independent of the representations
made to the visiting congressman. The
resolution was referred to the agricul.
ture committee.
