Representative Cohen in his re marks on the immigration appropria tion repeated tentlmentH fiequenlly voiced in the moinlng paper. Cohen said the Importation' of Kit lopean Immigrants would (111 the Ter ritorial labor Held with paupers. Cohen said that the sugar barons might better spend their $300,000. In higher wnge3 among tho citizen la borers of tho Territory. Tho charge so often repeated in aiio of our pnpotH that Kutopcan im migration win nn mo lerriiory wuu tho sugar plantations, are a living l dotation of tho libel that Is raised at regular Intervals against Kuro pean Immigrants as n class. The very men who shout this libel lous try ure the ones who get out on the street-coiners unit damn Hnwnll becnuso It Is Orientalized; they want whlto men on tho plantations. Tho moment u wny Is opened up to put whlto .men on the plantations they turn around nnd dnmn the sugar bar ons becnuso of the "hnrons' " favor for such action. These men know, If they know any thing, that the reason why Hawaii ban become Orientalized is on account of tho Oriental having been employed ' lug numbers. Tho good workmen of tho Hold have gradually developed Into good workmen for tho shops and the mills; nnd they havo stead ily forged their way ahead. To change this condition, it Is nil absolute necessity thnt thcro shall bo an offset In tho fields. When thcro Is, nnd not till then, will It bo pos sible to bilng about tho reforms said to be desired by the men talking so loudly of the white men tlicy want to see In tho Islands, If tho vnclfcr n torn nro honest, they are defeating their own ends when they endeavor I to kill legislation thnt will enablo I this Territory to enlist Huropcans. I It is true (hat nil sugar planta thins nnd nil other lines of business could spend more money In lmpiov- Ing the conditions of their laborers. Tho fuct Is, mote money Is being spent by Hawaii's ludiistilal lendeis every year and moio attention is eon- alqutly glten plans that will mako plantation l(fo more attractive and the labor therefore more permanent.

All this lmpiovcmcnt Is going for waid, slowly perhaps in somo in stances but none the less surely. To hend off the Uuropenn Immigra tion would bring homestendlng of la bor to n standstill. Not more than two plantations In the Territory would have the, price of American wages If tho main Industry wcro brought face to face with n labor fchortnge.
