I ought also to say that it appears. on what is apparently undisputed evidence. that there is no labor surplus whatsoever in the Hawaiian Islands. On the contrary. any man there who wants work. and is willing to work on their farms and plantations. can find a Job almost instantly. It has been so strongly represented that employment in Hawaii and the Hawaiian output would be diminished by restricting immigration there that I have. after some hesitation. added a provision that the joint resolution shall not interfere with Filipino immigration into Hawaii. provided satisfactory regulations can be established by the Department of Labor to prevent the further migration of such persons into the mainland of the United States. That. I think. is the sine qua non of the continuance of that type of immigration into Hawaii.
