1T should be said in fairness that

them the ability to get on where other

have the Japanese adjusted them
selves to island conditions. and so
rapidly are they increasing in the
number OF Hawaiian-born children,
that this group soon will have a ma
jority OF the voters OF the islands
Table OF Voters.
The commissioners report then de-
duces from n table of births of Jap
anese children from 1898 to 1919 that
1925 Hawaiian-born Japanese will
have become old enough to vote by
1870: that 22.s21 more will have been
added to the list OF eligible voters by
1910, making a total during a 22-year
period OF 35,137. Deducting Is per
cent. to cover possible losses by re-
moval and death. the report estimates
that by 1910 there will be an aggre-
gate of Japanese voters In the terri
tory of 3O.S57 including 23T now reg
istered.
Pointing to the fact that Japanese
children in the public schools OF
Hawaii in 1910 were 27.72 per cent. of
the total enrolment and that in 1919
this school groups stood at 4o55 per
cent. OF the whole. the report says this
Indicates that the place in the cleo
torate that the Japanese will occupy
in 1880 and again in 1910 may. in
deed, be under-estimated." The con-
crete deduction then follows:
Whether or not the Japanese de-
sire to achieve political control, with
out doubt, within few years, they
will be in a position to do so IL they
choose"
Interesting comparisons of the de-
gree OF intermarriage INDUCED in by
different races In the islands next are
taken up, which bring the commission
TO the conclusion that, I'm general,
japanese marry only Japanese. 1t is
clear that all races, except the Kor-
cans and Japanese. are fusing rapidly
through intermarriages. but that the
Japanese group is maintaining its ra-
cial distinctiveness.
