Is there objection? The Chair hears none. and the Clerk will read. The resolution (S. Res. 193) was read. as follows: Whereas because of an alleged labor shortage the sugar planters of Hawaii have requested permission to import 5.000 Filipino contract laborers. and Whereas in the interest of national defense and for other reasons it is undesirable to add to the already topheavy Oriental population of the Territory of Hawaii. and Whereas. according to available information. there are still millions of unemployed in the continental United States and other thousands are likely to become unemployed in the near future because of priority rights which will make it impossible for certain industries to continue operation: Therefore be it Resolved. That the Commissioner of Work Projects is requested to cause an investigation to be made immediately for the purpose of determining whether or not there are sufficient American workers available for employment in the Territory of Hawaii to satisfy the demands for labor in such Territory.
