After twenty years Of vain endeavor
to Americanize, or, at least, "Caucas-
ianize" the plantation fields Of Hawaii,
the territorial mission which seeks the
consent of congress to the importa-
ton of ASiatic labor in limited num-
bers and under stipulated restrictions,
has returned to the earlier declara-
tons of former Gov. George r. Car
ter In his reports to the interior de-
partment in 1904 to 1907, that the
white man will not work in tropical
fields.
Official facts and figures are In pos
session of the commission to show
that Americans, Portuguese, Spanish,
Russians and Germans all have been
tried and all have failed as steady
sources Of agricultural labor supply.
Today, according to Gov. G. ]. Nc
Carthy, Albert Horner, territorial SUI
gar expert, and others in position
to know conditions, the territory Is
facing the gravest labor crisis in it's
history.
Acreage Increases.
In 1900 the production of sugar for
the territory was 2S9,544 tons, with
36,O4O laborers to handle the crop.
In 1920 the production was 556,S7l
tons and last December there were
3S,34S laborerS at work on the plan
tations. Sugar cane acreage has In
creased tremendously, labor has not
kept pace and now, with the exception
Of a small flow from the Philippine
islands, themselves in like predica
| ment, there Is no source from which
to draw for harvest hands for Hawaii's
| great pineapple and sugar plantations.
Portuguese have proved the most
stable Of all, but even they have shown
rapid decline. In 1910 there were
1906 Portuguese at work In Hawaiian
plantations, in 1920 there were 1921.
Japanese on plantations numbered 3d.
III in 1905 At the end Of last. year
there were 1906 Chinese have de-
clined from 1900 in 1893 to 1,712 in
1920. There were 457 Russians in 1910
and 16 in 1920. There were 1910
Spanish in 1914 and 246 in 1920. The
Filipino total grew from 2,269 in 1910
to 1920 in 1920, the only national
class of labor that has registered an
increase. But, officials point out, the
supply from the Philippines is limited,
since labor shortage exists there as
we'll as in Hawaii.
Labor Leakage.
The labor leakage from the planta-
ton goes in three directions; some
return to their home lands, others
pass on to the mainland and still 9TH
ers 60 into other lines of activity in
the territory. The motive actuating
them all is the same, to get away
from the hard lator Of the fields as
soon as possible.
Ten million dollars and more, &C
cording to official statistics. has been
spent by the industries of Hawaii in
importing labor during the last two
decades and today those industries
are under heavier handicap Of labor
shortage than ever before in their his
tory.
The Chinese exclusion act and the
gentlemen's agreement with Japan
have shut off both those countries, but
despite this, frequent recommendations
have been made that congress take
into consideration Hawaiis peculiar
isolated position and let down the
