A
BUSINESS OF HAWAII SLIPPING INTO GRIP OF JAPANESE, REPORT HONOLULU, May IS. The great sugar, pineapple and coffee plantations -of Hawaii are facing near extinction as the , result of the most acute labor shortage in the territory's history; the rice growing Industry of the . Islands has been wiped out by the same cause; and the business of Hawaii Is fast slipping into the grip of the Japanese, the dominating race in the territory, according to a statement made to the Associated Press by Governor Charles J. McCarthy, and by Albert Horner, territorial sugar expert. To meet the situation Governor McCarthy has asked the legislature to memorialize congress requesting the lifting of immigration bars so that labor, including Oriental ..labor, may be imported, with the . provision that
such importation shall be. only - for
limited periods and shall not operate so that there will be within the territory at any time a total number of aliens of any one race more than 25 per cent of the population of the territory. Bars Japanese This last provision would bar the
importation of Japanese, stopped
since the "gentlemen's agreement'
was made in 1907, sin&o already the
number of Japanese in Hawaii far
exceeds the 25 pgr cent of the total. So urgent do the governor and his advisors consider the " situation, that
he has askr the legislature to authorize - the creation of the Hawaiian emergency labor commission of three
members to go to Washington and im
press the territory's critical situation
upon congress. Open Secret It has been for some time an open secret in sugar circles and In govern
ment, that the sugar crop, which under normal conditions .should be harvested by the end of July, will not be in the bags before January, February
or March, 1922.
With about one-half of the total population of the territory Japanese, that race already has a firm grip on labor conditions and is rapidly extending its activities into the commercial field. A prominept sugar planter is authority for the statement that twice list year and once already this season, Japanese monied interests have made a bona fide offej to buy one of the largest sugar plantations in the territory. All of tie offers were refused.

' (By- Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, May' 13 Mexico
cannot and will not sign a formal pro- j tocol as a condition to recognition by ' the United States, President Obregon told newspaper men last night in referring to President Harding's policy as outlined in despatches received here on Tuesday. He declined to comment on the policy pursued by the United States further than declaring he had received letters recently from friends in Washington, who assured him they "see in President Harding. Secretary of State Hughes and Assistant Secretary of State Fletcher three men with extremely cordial feelings toward Mexico, who apparently are Inclined to re-establish relations between the two countries." Although President Obregon lias insisted that this government cannot sign a formal treaty or protocol, it is known here that an informal exchange of communications between the two governments which would be tantamount to formal conferences, would not be rejected by the Mexican government. Close friends of President Obregon assert he is willing to give
the United States, any information it desires relative to conditions in Mexico. Assurances have been given as to safeguards and guarantees for foreign investments, and various public declarations by President Obregon indicate he believes such assurances are ample and sufficient to prove the nation's stability and its right to recognition.
