It has been alleged that if wethe United Statestake the cheap oriental laborers in the cane fields and pineapple plantations of Hawaii and make them full and free citizens of the United States. we cannot keep them away from this country.. First of all the majority of those working in the caneflelds and sugar industry of Hawaii are American citizens. - They can travel to the mainland now just as a citizen living in the voteless District of Columbia can go where he pleases. And. under the 1952 Immigration and Naturalization Act the race barrier was :removed .and all permanent residents of Hawaii are now eligible for natiralization and . many of -them are becoming citizens. They. too. will be allowed to travel freely. whether Hawaii is a State or a Territory.. but only if. they pass the tests required for all whoseek citizenship. no matter where they apply. Also. there is grave doubt in the minds of those who know the Hawaiian situation intimately that any considerable number of those employed in the island industries would want to move to the mainland.
