If the Philippine Islands themselves will not furnish sufficient labor for the full development of these agricultural interests. mark my prediction. Japan will do it. just as In Hawaii. or if Japan does not do it. the laws of this country will be so changed as to admit the Chinese. The same virile forces which opposed Chinese immigration into this country will ifot be present to make similar opposition to their introduction into the Philippines. The great labor interests will not be there to oppose them. There will not be the potential opposition of the white man. but. on the other hand. large corporate interests that have located there will be demanding that the bars be lifted to admit Chinese laborers to cultivate and develop those fertile fields.
