In a Japanese paper published In Honolulu. under date of January 8 of the present year (1906). it is reported that a company has been organized In Tokyo for the purpose of leasing lands belonglng to one of the large plantations and cultivating cane to be sold to the mii. wThe company has a capital of $250.000. and is reported to have secured 1.600 acres of land from this plantation. under a twentyyears lease. and to have begun to clear it. The announcement continties: "The Japanese concern will furnish their own labor. build their own houses. furnish their own Implements of agriculture. food. etc." Thus. in mercantile lines. in the field of hand labor. and in small farming alike. the experience is the same. Between depression and Asiatic competition the whites are being driven out. and time Asiatics are succeeding. It is a struggle for survival. with the white element slowly and steadily losing ground.
