State Likely to Take Lead in Business BY AMATEUR ECONOMIST Eight months from now, will Seattle and the sound country be known as the most prosperous district In the United States? Thruout the farming districts of the United States the outlook certainly isn’t the brightest. The farmer has taken an awful loss; last year he n't make ex- penses, and only by the most strenuous economy can he hope to make expenses this year, One thing is certain; he going to buy a’ thing this that he doesnt’ have to buy. A great part of the manufac- tured goods in the United States is consumed by the farmers. If ian't year they don’t buy, the factories can't ron at capacity. Even a part of the factories closed means alow times on the Atlantic seaboard and around the Great Lakes, Fair cotton prices make it look as if the South were in better shape, and poasibly it is; but re member that the cotton crop was short this year, and, in spite of fair prices, the money yield was not I bought five times as m lumber this year ax usual; Europe is buying; other markets are qeveloping, and our own market picking up, This means real money for this part of the country, and real money, even tho it tent ties, will mean trict this year I don't believe that we off in expecting to vee the most prowperous city in the United States this summer, in large quanti a lot to any din are far i Seattle | Staten Note: Joseph 1. dackses, the following article, te a trained newspaper man wie Las just returned from Hawall and (he Orient, BY JOSEPH L. JACKSON | In spite of the cry of the great) sugar planters and pineapple grow. | ers of the Hawaiian islands for Oriental labor, it is generally ad mitted. even by the leaders among! the landowners—altho they refuse for the most part to allow themselves to be quoted—that the Japanese in the islands already constitute a menace that must be curbed. | The thinkers of tne islands, who do not own the great sugar-land pre | serves or lease them, see open today | one certain way of doing away with the threat of Asiatic dominance, po- |litkeal and economic, and saving the | lovety, semi-tropical land for the white man. SUBDIVISION PLAN / BEFORE CONGRESS | | | | | j 1 | This one last hope is now wp to| |the American congress, It lies in reabsorbing the huge land grants made by King Kalakaua a half cen | tury ago to tho original great plant. | jers; canceling these leases which | jmake “the employment of Asiatic| |labor imperative; eubdividing tle im | mense grants now held by corporm thons and groups into small holdings; and making it possible for average American citizens to go into the} istands, take up small homesteads, | jand cultivate these holdings either | |by themselves or with the aid of white labor or by the labor of thin-| ly scattered Orientals, instead of by {the great Oriental community groups, as at present. Most of the great plantations In| |the Territory of Hawaii are com | |posed of land leased from the Ha-| waillan government under the reign of King Kalakaua, in terms cover- ing a period of from 30 to 50 years, PLANTATIONS REVERTING TO GOVERNMENT | When the United States took over the Hawalian Islands, It also took over the assets, as well ag the liabili- | ties, of the Hawallan royal family. Accordingly, much of this sugar land | is now reverting to the U. 8. govern-| ment and ts being subdivided into) smal! holdings of from 10 to 40 jacres, at from $40 to $100 an acre, and sold on ten years term pay ments to successful candidates at th landdrawings now being held in Honolulu Hereafter, while some believe that sugar may not be so carefully | looked after an in the past, in its cultivation, it will be taken by the| sugar mills from the growers, | \erushed and milled, and the profits, less the expense, given to the grow. | lers. Under present plans, more than half of each original leasehold will be released to the big planters, |so ax to aawure the small planters Jopportunity to have cane crushes and handled. / In so far as this is carried out, the | Japanese problem in Hawali will be Jat least cut in half, for, if the Jap Janene now tilling the soil cannot find | employment, it ts assumed they will go back to Japan. A large percent age of them in the past have done [so anyway, as soon as they had amamued competence. | The problem of the present day | arose because the sugar planters thought they could keep wages down jand profits up “by importing the |Japanese laborer with a low stand- jard of living, following the Chinese | exclusion act, but the Japanese has | turned the tables on the barons. | These . exe hang together, an!

In addition to the pure Japa Nese, there are more than 51,000 other Asiatios, including Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos, bringing the total number of Aasiatica in the Hawalian islands to 166,555, or 64 per cent. Six out of every 10 chiGren born in the territory are of Qrienta: parentage. Five out of every 10 children are of Japanese parentage. The number of whites, includ ing all Americana, British, Ger maps and Russians, totals 27,209, or 144 per cent, out of a total Popwation of 275.884—thix time including 16,500 soldiers and sail- ora, Per thousand, in 1926.21, the Japanese birth rate wan 4274, while the American-Britinh-Ger man-Russian group had « birth rate of only 15.48—lees than that of any other group. The Asiatic Hawaiians led all the groups with @ birth rate of 75.63. Children bern of aliens in Ha wall are American citizens, and at the present birth rate, Japanese will constitute, by 1930, about 28 Per cent of the electorate, and by 1940 about 47 per cent.

On two previous occasions the gov. ernment han offered to arbitrate, but | | the packers refused. Members of the congressional dele | gation pointed out that no publicity |had attended these previous efforts and urged that the third attempt be made so that “the world might know | if the packers again resisted.” The congrearional delegation con- sisted of Representatives Little, Kansas; Knutson, Minnesota; Kal | eczka, Wisconsin; Noland, California, and Woodruff, Michigan. If the packers accept arbitration, Secretaries Hoover, Wallace and Davis may act, or the situation may | be left entirely in the hands of the department of labor.
