To Supply Korean&.Oi Russians
"There are thousands upon thou
sands of Koreans of the laboring calss
who resent the Japanese yoke and are
anxious to leave Korea for some coun
trv where better prospects offer, and
they will not be under the heel of
nation puffed up with the pride of
conquest.
"A splendid opportunity is thus of
fered Hawaiian sugar plantations to
get together, send a man to Korea to
organize a company and ship laborer s
here and so solve the labor problem
So said Sames Joseph Dowling to a
Bulletin representative, during the
sugar planters inspection of the
Punahou experiment station this
morning.
Dowling arrived In Honolulu from
Japan in the O. & O. S. S. Doric, the
other day, accompanied by his wife
He is professor of English literature
in the Higher Commercial School
Kobe, Japan, having gone out to Jap
an 1895 at the request of the Japa
nese government to enter the educa
tional field. Mr. Dowling spent ten
years in these Islands before going
to the Orient. He has been all through
plantation work, luna, sugar boiler
and labor manager, and is in a pos
ition to talk on labor propositions
For years he was on Naalehu plan
tatiou, Kau, Hawaii, and was late
in charge of labor at Spreckelsville
Mr. Dowling has traveled extensive
ly in Japan an Korea, and is well up
up on conditions iu both those coun
tries. He is enthusiastic over the
idea of bringing Korean labor here
by the shipload and is earnestly en
deavoringto interest Hawaiian plan
ters in the scheme. He believes it
will solve the labor problem here in
the most satisfactory way.
Should the planters not favor the
Korean proposition, Mr. Dowling has
another scheme up his sleeve, and
that is to bring some of the 71,000
Russian Drisoners now in Japan to
work on Hawaiian plantations. Or
both ideas mk'ht be put to use. Ko
reans and Russian prisoners m Japa
could both be drawn on to fill the can
fields here.
When interviewed Mr. Dowling
at first modestly stated that
he was absent from his Japanese
educational work on furlough. As
the talk advanced, however.te warm

men being in convention, succeeded
in interesting several leading planta
tion managers. Mr. Dowling, in
reply to the questions of the repor
ter, had the following to say:
"It is years since I was in Hawaii.
I'm glad to be back. I'm here on a
few months' furlough, being profess-
ornal of English literature at Kobe,
the Higher Commercial School.
Mrs. Dowling accompanies me.
Possibly we may decide to remain
here, to settle here again, unless
business calls me back to Japan very
urgently.
The expense of living in Japan
has gone up one hundred per cent in
the last two years since the beginn
ing of the war. Then the income tax
there is an outrage, ten per cent., if
you please; what do you think- 01
that?
"Everything in Japan has gone up
except salaries.
"Yes; I em interested in labor. I
have a . proposition to make the
sugar planters here in rein tion J.0
Korean laborers, or to Russitth
prisoners, of which there are now,
cr were when I left, 71,000 in Japan.
am particularly Interested in the
Korean idea.
"Korea now feels the Japanese
yoke. Koreans resent it. They do
not want to live under Japanese rule.
In fact, they will not for a long time
be able to enjoy any kind of a profit
able exsistence under the Japanese.
Even now thousands of them are
seeking a way out of the country.
They are poor, dreadfully poor. I
known of no poorer people. But they
are strong and a good lot to work
and are amenable to the proper dis
cipline, willing and not difficult to
manage. I have talked with many
of them. They hail with delight the
mere suggestion of a possibility of
working in Hawaiian cane fields.
"The Korean men, of the laboring
classes, are bigger men thau the
Japanese and have not the conceit
and deceit of the Japanese. They
would make good field workers
and they would not want homestead
cr any inducement to come here
other than a fair wage.
"Now is the time for the planters
here to orgauize a company for the
immigration of Koreans.
""In regard to Russian prisoners
in Japan, I would say that I saw 21,
000 of them at Osaka and moved
among them very freely. They do
not want to return to Russia; they
would prefer to become Japanese
subjects or go elsewhere. There
would be little difficulty in securing
all that were needed for Hawaiian
plantations. Now is the time to get

"I could go to Korea and arrange
for any number of Koreans to come
here or I could get a lot of Russian
prisoners. -
"I am talking the matter over
with local sugar men, several of
whom are deeply interested.
Mr. Dowling accompanied the
planters arround the experiment
station grounds, expressing delight
at the splendid showing made by the
scientific institution. Bulletin.
Deadly enemy of leaf Hopper.
The members of the Hawaiian u
gar Planters' Association enjoyed a
practical experience of more than
ordinary value at the experimental
Statioti this morning when they visit
ed the place in a body, headed by
President Baldwin', and were shown
everywhere by Prof. Perkins, Direc
tor Eckart, Dr. Cobb, Assistant
Director Lewton Brain and other
members of thi staff. W. M. Giffard,
chairman of the Committee on the
Station, was also a member of the
escorting party.
After registering, the planters
were escorted to the entomological
departmen t, they saw for the first
time the tiny insect which Prof.
Perkins went all the way to Australia
to obtain and which has already
saved many thousands of dollars by
its relentless warfare on the loaf
hopper. The minute insect has a name as
long as a German Prince's but he
does not look it, in fact he does not
look like anything more than a speck
of yellow dust until the microscope is
turned on him. Then it is seen that
it is a fully formed, living and breath
ing entity, head, body and every
other member well defined and per
fect. Under the microscope, an
ordinary ant looks enormous beside
this wee transparent yellow body
with its comparatively big eyes.
Every phase of the manner of its at
tacK on the leaf hopper was shown.
The hopper lays its eggs by the- my
riuds along the cane leaves and these
when hatched out attack the leaves
to their destruction. But it is to
destroy the eggs that the new para
site has for its one mission in life.
It lays its eggs inside the eggs of the
leat hopper. The parasite approaches
an egg cluster which some proud
leaf hopper parent has deposited,
feels them rapidly over with her an
tennae and then "stings" them, thus
depositing her own egg inside. It
has been observed by the scientists
at the station that the parasite,
after feelin? ovecan '.egg, knows at
"stung" or not and if it has, passes
on.
In the next stage shown, the trans
parent egg of the leaf hopper be
comes a cloudy red and it can be
plainly seen that the infinitely minute
young parasite is making trouble
It is living on the contents of the egg
in which it h8s been deposited and
under the high power lenses used
the whole contents can be seen twist
ing and turning about.'
''Then In a comparatively short time
the egg breaks and there emerges
not a young leai nopper to prey on
the sugar cane, but a young parasite
to prey on more leaf hoppers, This
wonderful exposition of the way of
nature absorbed the planters and it
was with difficulty that they could
be persuaded to leave the depart
ment to admire the operations con
ducted in the fields.
Director Eckart showed them first
a field of seedlings planted last May
which had done remarkably well
Some of the cflne was of extraordin
ary growth and won the admiration
of all. An adjolniug lot of seedling
near by, from West India seed, wa
much Inferior. Only one seedling had
been propagated, from Hawaiian
seed and it had died.
X rom this the party went all ove
the fields remarking on the ccmpara
tive excellence of the differen
growths of cane.
An inspection of the aparatus
the department of Pathology and
Physiology followed, Dr. N. A. Cobb
doing the honors with lucid explana
tions. Lunch was then served and thi
afternoon the association will hoar
the last of the reports on hand. To
night they due at the Young.
Somo ideas of the number of mat
ter treated by Dr. Cobb may be
gathered from the fact that he treat
ed 47 different disease of plants. He
also submitted samples of the follow
ing in jars as follows:
1. Rind Disease.
2. Pine apple Disease.
3. Root Disease.
4. Schyzophyllum Disease.
5. Bacterial Top Root.
6. Toadstools Causing Disease of
Plantation Timlier.
9. Particular attention was paid
to plans and photographs of machi
nery for the treatment of canp-cut-ting
on a plantation scale. Star.
