I shall restate them here In almost exactly the same language in which they were stated in that portion of the minority views prepared by me. This resolution is designed to hide the wrong its proponents want it to do. The only purpose hidden In its indefinite phraseology Is to Import 30.000 to 40.000 Chinese coolies to the United States Territory of Hawaii (hearings. pp. 238. 395. 396. 440) to work as peons and serfs in the fields and mills of the sugar manufacturing corporations and in the abject service of some other associated interests of the Territory. These interests dominate the islands industrially and politically and have so dominated them since before their annexation. Not one person in ten among the inhabitants of the islands is Caucasian. Americans or other white men will not go there and the few who have gone there to work have usually gotten away as quickly as possible. (Hearings. pp. 222223 (top). 416. 432433. 546.) Climatic and industrial conditions in Hawaii are such that the sugar planters and manufacturers and other smaller. kindred interests have no hope of inducing any but miserable coolies. who can be held in semibondage. to endure them. Even the blacks from America or Africa can not or will not endure the life there. (Hearings. pp. 225. 539.) The sugar interests of Hawaii are centralized in about 45 strong corporations (hearings. pp. 296297). whose industrial and political power has been the directing force in Hawaii for many years. and whose interests have prompted most of its important policies and now promote this proposition. The prevalence of the financial interests of that dominating group must be recognized by all who deal with Hawaiian problems.
Identified stereotypes
