ties have under consideration the plac-
ing Of an absolute embargo upon the
Introduction and sale of pul1ue in the
capital city. One REASON for this is the
salutary effect upon the classes which
consume large quantities of the liquor,
and the other is because the concerns
handling il have uniformly committed
gross frauds against the government
and have escaped paying more than a
fraction of the just charges levied
by law upon the importation Of the
beverage into the citv. The amount
paid has been insignificant, while the
quantity of pulQue introduced and sold
has been enormous.
The Secretary Of Hacienda has under
consideration the Inauguration Of an
establishment for the manufacture Of
sugar from the juice Of the magpev
plant, which at present is converted
into pulqur. This would prove benefi
cia Ia several directions-it would re-.
duce intOXicatioR, it would aid in al
lrviating the shortage of sugar in Ger
tain portions of the Republic, and it
would give employment to II large force
Of operatives, The entire matter is
being carefully studied hv the pres

time a decree NAV he promulgated I'll

.
I Whether the manufacture of muni-
tions and explosives is more important
than the production of sugar is the
'crux Of the question as TO whether the
plantations Of Hawaii will, get the fer-
.tilizer that is, required to keep pro-
ductioq here up to the maximum. At
the present time the demand for inter
for powder and explosives is consid.
cred by the government as of far the
greatest Importance. h, vi ,.,.
Proper fertilization Of the soil Is tes,
sential to the keeping up of sugar pro
dpetion. iIt Is estimated that without
the fertilizer the yield would be from
thirty to forty percent less than that
now obtained, or rather that obtained
under normal conditions for this year
were highly varied from the ordinary.
At the present time very little nj.

Porters are told they eHn have only to
fnd when the time comes that it in
needed In the manufacture of mum
tons, s IL this condition shall continue
the supply Of fertilizer for the sugar
industry here will be very limited.
Explanation of trans shipment Of
Fertilizer from San francisco here is
that this has been OcGasioned by the
character of vessels bringing il north.
Several hundred schooners have carried
such, cargoes and they lack the fuel
storage capacity for cruising from the
mainland here. When the nitrates are
shipped, by large steamers or in sail
ing vessels they may come here direct,
assuming that me nitrates win be OBJ
tainable in any event. 9. ...
Nitrates have gone up in price from
AROUND $40 ton to about 800 a ton
and at that price are not now obtain

Japan COSTS HIGHER

LOS ANGELES May 24--The sugar
industry of Japan, ike that of the
TIVted States, is feeling the efferts Of
iucreaseh cost Of production, according
10 =. Ebi, research chemist for the Jap
an Sugar COMPANY Of Toxic, who is
ROW in California on his way home
from a mission Of inv estigation into
American methode Of producing beet
sugar.
Mr.. Ebi says that the scarcity OF
labor and the high prices Of food and
materials Of all kinds have greatly in.
creased both labor and equipment costs
in the japanese industry, while the
shipping shortage and the competition
from Java have intcrfered with the
marketing Of the large Formosan crops
of the last two years. The result h Is
been that prices In the japanese mar
ket have been depressed and have not
been adjusted TO the increase in the
production cost.

STUDYING
SUGAR INDUSTRIES

LONDON, May "a - Associated
Pressl---In a report on the sugar sap.

sor George Marincau of the University
of London, urges the British govern
ment to learn from Germany and the
United States winch he describes a.
the two countries which have handled
tho sugar question most successfully"
Speaking of (iermanv's success with
sugar in the past ,ierade he says:
There are two causes ut the bottom
Of this mystery. Energy, ability, eff
ticiency, and more than all, persistent
research, constituted the first aud best
But this MAS supplemented by
0 stimulus Il, signed to induce capital
lists to risk their money in the beetrOot
industry.
'''It was ,Gormauv that hit upon the
right kind of stimulus. 1t was bril-.
liant idea and carried out with great.
judgement. The sugar duty was levied,
not upon the sugar produced, but the
roots. This a. once stimulated the
farmer to produrr the richest possible
quality of root. and the manufacturer
to extract from the root the largest
possible quantity If sugar. Great pains
were taken to breed an improved vari
rety Of sugar beet.
Continues Research
"This research still goes ON in Ger.
many and its success has been astound-
ing. At the beginning the sugar beet
contained less than i percent of sugar
In Germany the average quantity Of
sugar actually eNtrartrd has been
brought up to practically Is percent.
'Thht this wonlrrful result was
caused by the stimulus, pluS Of course
great, efficiency. is proved by the fact
that poor France continued getting n

German system, and even then never
succeeded 10 catching up in the race.

Little Can Be Done Until II Is
Determined How Many of

Available Sources Are Few and
Time Is Needed To Replace
Those Who Are Taken

How serious willabe the labor prob
lem for Hawaii IL vet to be determined.
AT the present moment, with the call
ing out Of the guard, the situation is
acute and the plantations are badly
worried. The bureau of labor of the
Planters Association is waiting full
ad, ices as to tine number that will be
required to fir the vacancies but is
not nearly 50 ressimistI" as are the
planters.
It is possible that a considerable
number Of the plantation workers who
were taken away hy the calling of
the national guard may ne later re
turned. This is the belief that was
: expressed at the Office of the Planters
z Association labor bureau. II was
pointed out that many Filipinos are
small and that it is possible further
J that considerable number may not
pass their physical examination. Bel.

q. ments, this i doubtful, according 20
army authorities for the army has sent
a request to Washington for waiver
OF those requirements in Hawaii and it
is said that a fay orablea reply is ex
perted II is the waiting for such
policy that is holding back the issu
,nnee of the papPrs to some of the
rguaTdsmen.
Hundreds Taken
Admittedly the situation is serious.
IT is said by the Garden Island that
nearly 600 have answered the call
from Kauai alone and large pro
I, porti9pf of these are from the plapta

-laR+s where the labor bureau expects
to have most difficulty in filing va
.cancies. Thus far each manager is
handling the situation as best he may
and the labor bureau is being Informed
Of the number Of men who have been
taken by the rall. Little can be done
until it is determined how many Of
these will fail in their physical eXam
nation, whether the proportion shall be
large or small.
Agency heads are decidedly worried.
Each year there is discussion in the
Philippines on the subject of emigra
