Los Angeles Looks to
Hawaii for Future Trade
PH.
Tho importance of Hawaii as a
trade center of tho Pacific is being
realized more and moro in the west
ern California cities. In tho past
San Francisco has received tho lion's
share of the Hawaii trade. But Los
Angeles is wide awako to tho situ
ation and is determined to get her
share of it in tlio future, as tho fol
lowing nrticle written by Clarence
H. Matson, manager of tho foreign
trade department of tho Los Angeles
Chamber of Commorce, and printed
in "Southern California Business,
shows:
OUR MID-PACIFIC SISTER
Under tropic skies, something more
than 2,000 miles to tho southwest
of Los Angeles, lies the island terri
tory of America, Hawaii, tho pearl
of tho Pacific.
There is a magic about tho very.
name of Hawaii. Home of a gentle
vanishing race, for a hundred years
it has attracted navigators and world
travelers. With its balmy breezes,
Its wonderful mountains and valleys,
its famous swimming beaches, its
awe-inspiring volcanoes, its tropical
vegetation, and its hospltablo peo
ple, Hawaii is a name to conjuro
with,
Hawaii, with its Kllauca and
Mauna Loa, spectacular volcanoes,
tho one always in orruption and fur
nishing a marvellous sight; tho oth
er in which tho fires of. earth's
depths aro smoldering, but which
occasionally break forth In a terri
fying spectacle!
Hawaii with Its Walkikl, famed in
song and stary, ono of tho most
wonderful bathing beachoa in tho
world, .whoro surf-riding has' attain
ed its greatest perfection! '
Hawaii, with its famous water
falls, Its beautiful valleys, and tow
ering mountains some of the latter
nearly 14,000 feet high, and nearly
always snow-capped.
Hawaii, with its cosmopolitan city
of Honolulu, facing on a beautiful
bay, with Diamond Head on ono side,
and beyond, the famous naval base
of Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, with its fern forests, its
sugar and pineapple plantations, and
its other tropical vegetr.tion!
Tho announcement that Los An
geles is soon to bo connected with
this island empire by one of the fin
est steamship lines on the Pacific,
is a source of congratulation to
thoso who have been working for
many years to bring this about. Ly
ing just beyond our horizon in tho
waters of the Pacific, it has long
boon recognized that L03 Angeles
and Hawaii should be connected;
that they have mutual interests and
common attractions, one supplement
ing the other. Many residents of Los
Angeles, besides thousands of lour
ists who visit tho Angel City anna
ally, will take pleasure in the luxur
ious ocean trip to tho islands when
direct service is provided. Hereto
fore, tourist travel to Honolulu has
been held back by the fact that ex
isting passenger lines have had moro
business than they could handle
much of the time, and therefore, tho
tourist business could not be devel
oped. The 'low steamship lino from
Los Angoles will mako a specialty
of tourist travel.
Two of thu finest steamships un
der tho control of the United States
Shipping Board have been allocated
to tho Los Angeles-Hawaii service,
with tho Los Angeles Steamship Co.
as operating agents. These two ves
sels, the S, S. Aeolus and S. S. Hur
on, wero built by tho Germans to
operato between Europe and Bue
nos Aires, and tho German builders
equipped them in tho luxuriant man,
nor that made other great German
liners famous for it must bo ad
mitted that tho Germans wero great
ship builders before thu war.
Tho S. S. -Aeolus is considerably
larger than tho shipping board
r35-typo, and is luxurious in its ap
pointments. Both it and its sister
ship, tho Huron, wero designed to
cross tho tropics, and thoreforo is
especially fitted for service between
Los Angeles and Hawaii. The Aeolus
Is HCO foot long, while tho Huron is
only 30 feet shorter. In addition to
approximately 400 pessengors, each
will carry a largo amount of freight
With such a lino as this, Haiwail
will ho moved up closo to Los An
geles, and tho City of tho Angols
will become tho front door to this
Paradise of tho Pacific.
Presents Cosmopolitan People
Tho Territory of Hawaii is mado
up of eight islands, four of them
Oahu, Hawaii, Maul, and Kauai, be
ing largo and well populated, whllo
the other four, Molokai, Lauai, Kw
hoolawo , and Nilhati, nre of lesser
importance and nre devoted largely
to grazing.
Tho population of tho islands was
in excess of tho quarter million
mark when tho 1920 census was tak
en two years ngo, and they certainly
aro n cosmopolitan people. Tho Jap
anese predominate, with Portuguese,
Hawaiian, Chinese and Filipino run
ning a raco for Becond place in the
order named. There aro, only about
20,000 pure Caucasions in tho is
lands, not counting the mixtures
with tho other races, hut thoso 20,
000 largely rulo tho Islands. There nro
also Porto RIcans, Koreans and
Spanish among tho inhabitants. In
fact, a survey of tho public schools
brought forth tho fact that there
aro 32 distinct races and raco com
binations in tho schools. Tho Jap
anese furnish tho bulk of tho labor
of the islands.
Honolulu, tho principal city, is ap
proaching tho ono hundred thousand
mark In its population, and for sev
eral generations it has been famous
as the cross-roads of tho Pacific, ly
ing as it does in tho patli of steam
ers running to the Orient and Aus
tralia. When gold was discovered
in California the harbor of Honolu
lu was crowded with craft from all
over tho world, and tho nows of
tho discovery caused a stampede for
tho Galifornia coast.
Nearly 200 miles distant from Ho
nolulu is Hilo, second Inrgest city
in tho territory and tho principal
town on the Island of Hawaii, It
is n beautiful llttlo crescent city,
and nearby aro some of tho most
wonderful attractions of tho islands.
Provides Great Cargo Possibilities
While Los Angeles is interested
in tho passenger travel to Hawaii,
It is also greatly interested in the
commerce of tho islands. Tho won
derful pineapple and banana possi
bilities of the island territory doubt
less will furnish enormous cargoes
in tho future. Already the annual
pineapple production has reached a
volume valued at nearly thirty mil
lion dollars, but tho banana indus
try is still latent. It is estimated,
however, by those have studied the
subject, that there is sufficient land
in Hawaii not used either for sugar
or pineapples, to provide an enor
mous output of bananas and well
adapted to growing that fruit.
An indication of how tho output
of. tho pineapple canneries of Hawaii
has grown in recent years is shown
by tho following figures giving tho
value of canned pineapples shipped
from Hawaii to tho United States:
Year ending Juno 30. Value.
1919 $11,9S9.G11
1920 18,809,449
1921 29,745,S18
Judging from this growth, it is
not improbable that tho output will
continue to Increase still more.
The great crop of Hawaii is su
t,ar, amounting to about 500,000 tons
annually, most of which is export
t d as refined or raw sugar, but it
is not likely that Los Angeles will
(ako much raw sugar at this time,
as tho sugar refineries of Southern
California aro well equipped for beet
sugar, while that of Hawaii is tho
cino variety.
Imports from Southland
Tho total imports into Hawaii
from tho mainland of tho United
i'iates amounted to $77,000,000, and
most of tho many products on tho
import list aro produced in Los An
t.'flos. , t. '
Heading tl:s li.it I-. nLricnUurr.l
Implements, all kinds of which aro
either manufactured or jobbed hero.
IlawaM bought thoso to tho valuo
of $38S,214 in tho year ending Juno
30 last.
Live stock Imports, Including cat
tle, horses, mules, and other stock,
and fowls, reached a valuo of $402,
570. Tho last item alono was $110,
251, and Southern California certain
ly produces fowls for export.
Brass manufacture and numerous
concerns in Los Angeles produce
these wero imported into Hawaii to
tho value of $311,212.
Breadstuffs wero a largo item, ex
ceeding five million dollars last year.
Tho 'main item in tills list was wheat
flour, valued at $1,274,315, with rico
a closo second, because of tho largo
number of Orientals in Hawaii for
whom rico is a staplo article .of
food.. Theso rico shipments totaled
approximately 12,000 tons. Bran, mid
dlings, and mill feed amounted to
$S 10,455 in value, and moro than
17,000 tons in weight, Barley, oats,
wheat, corn, breakfast foods, and
bread and biscuit made up tho bal
ance. Hero Is an opportunity for
considerable business for tho mills
of Los Angoles, as well as for grain
shippers and breakfast food manufacturers.
Brooms and brushes to the valuo
of nearly $100,000 woro shipped to
Hnwnll last year a considerable
business in Itself.
Automobllos to tho number of
2,701 and 401 motor trucks went
to Hawaii last year with a value of
almost $3,700,000. Also automobllo
parts, leaving out engines and tires,
amounted to $G1C,327, while the tiro
business of Hnwall nGgregatod moro
than ono and -ono-quarter million
dollars. Hawaii ovidontly offers n
good market for automobiles and
accessories.
Large Shipments of Cement
Hydraulic cement to tho valuo of
$050,000 went to Hawnll last yoar.
Ono of tho largo cement' companies
of Southern California has recently
arranged to enter that market.
Considerably moro than n million'
dollars' worth of drugs and chemic
als were purchased by Hawaii dur
ing tho yenr ending Inst Juno. Chem
icals amounted to $818,000, whllo
the patent medicines totaled ap
proximately $240,000.
Tho imports of clocks and watch '
cs wero no inconsiderable item.
Thoro wero nearly' $200,000 worth
of watches purchased by tho peoplo
of the islands last year and moro
than $40,000 worth of clocks. Hero
is ;t market for Los Angoles to en
tro. Cocoa and chocolate, which aro
manufactured in Los Angeles, wero
purchased by Hawaii last year to
tho value of $120,000, but It is prob
able that much of this was a Los
Angoles product.
Confectionery Imports went well
up toward tho half million mark,
Indicating that Hawaiian girls have
a sweet tooth or a number of them.
Copper manufactuiers imported in
to Hawaii aggregated $340,000." Cot
ton manufacturers also reached a
high flguro, but Los Angoles al
ready is supplying Hawaii with soino
of these. Moro tliirn seven million
yards of cotton cloth, to tho valuo
of $1,S01,CS9 went to tho islands,
while cotton wearing apparel, includ
ing dresses, knit goods, corsets, etc.,
amounted to nearly as much, and
unspecified cotton manufactures
reached the amount of $1,1CC,990.
Thus the total valuo of all cotton
goods purchased by Hawaii last
years was $4,737,957. '
Earthen, stone and chinaware,
while imported by Los Angeles from i
Japan and Europe, are also manu-
iaciureu nere. Hawaii uouglit thoso
commodities from the mainland to
the amount of $GC5,000. Los An
geles 'chinaware factories aro Just
building up a big business.
Now Listen to This!!
Moro than 1,300,000 dozen eggs
were shipped from tho mainland to
Hawaii last year, and wero valued
at $528,50G when shipped from San
Francisco. It is probable that most
of these eggs came from Petaluma,
but what's the matter with Van Nhvh W
and San Gabriel hens getting in on
this business?
There is certainly an opportunity
for Los Anegeles manufacturers of
electrical machinery, appliances, and
supplies to participate -in tho two
niilliondollar's vorth of theso com
modities that Hawaii buys annually.
Theso consist of batteries, dynamos,
fans, lamps, motors, telephones, and
other appliances.
Moro than two and a half million
dollnrs' worth of fertilizers woro
shipped to Hawaii last year, aggro
gating almost 40,000 tons.
Manufactures of fibers and tex
tile grasses, including twine, amount
ed to nearly $700,000 in value, ox
ported ,to Hawaii.
Hero is an item that is interest
ing to Los Angeles and it is prob
able that some of theso shinmonis
I camo from cauteries hero:
i Fish purchased by Hawaii from
tho United States . aggregated $1,-
iMit.Jfn in valuo. Of these, tho dried,
smoked and cured fish, largely used
by lite orientals, amounted to $3G2,
SS0; canned salmon to $279,832,
while "all other fish" which in
cludes canned tuna and sardines
amounted to $40G,54G.
Fruits and nuts of all kinds pur
chased by Hawaii last year had -a
valuo .of $1,100,000, of which oranges
amounted to $280,708. This was CO,
331 boxes. Canned fruits amounting
to moro than $300,000; dried fults
amounting to a little less than this
vgurc, and apples to tho amount of
$U'7,000 mado up most of tho other
items.
Metal furniture amounted to $224,
517. Glass and glassware which South
ern California manufactures to a
considerable extent, was exported
to Hawaii to tho amount of moro
than half a million dollars.
Like Our Fancy Goods
Jewelry and other, manufactures of
Gold and silver found n market

Hay, aggregating C.G42 tons anil
valuod at $211,407, was shipped to
