Big Sugar
Plantations
Threatened
Pineapple and Coffee
Farms of Hawaiian
Islands Also Facing
Grave Crisis

Honolulu, May 1.-THE great
sugar, pineapple and coffee plan
tations of Hawaii are facing near
extinction, as the result of the
most acute labor shortage In the
territory's history; the rice grow
ing industry Of the islands mas
been wiped out for the same rea-
son: and the business of Hawai-
is fast slipping into the grip OF the
Japanese, the dominating race In
the territory, according to state
ments made to the Associated
Press by Governor G. ]. Mccarthy
and by Albert Horner, territorial
sugar expert.
TO meet the situation Governor
Mccarthy has asked the legisia-
ture to memorialize congress, re-
questing the lifting of immlgra-
tion bars SO that labor, including
Orientals, may be imported, with
the proviso that such importation
shall be only for limited periods
and shall not operate SO that there
will be within the territory at any
time total number OF aliens Oh
any one race more than rs per cent
q the population Of the territory
This last provision would bar
the Importation of the japanese,
stopped since the gentlemen
agreement" was made in 1907,
since already the numDer or -apa-
nese In Hawaii far exceeds the
stipulated rs per cent of the total.
The net result of the shortage is
that the sugar crop, which under
normal conditions should be har-
vested by the end of July, will not
be In the bags before January,
February or March, 1922. Author
titles here see only one solution OF
the problem and that lies In the
Oriental labor.
