169-“We need more Chinese in Hawaii”, said Farm Cornn on the deck of the Great Northern late yesterday. “and I am going to Washington to see if it is possible to lift the bans so that 25,000 Chinese may be admitted to Hawaii. W. H. HIndle is with me on the trip to the national capital to take the matter up.”
Further, Farm Cornn said that the Japanese were so much in the assendency in Hawaii that something must be done to counteract their influence. The plantations, he said, were in need of real labor, and as the European supply has become a minus quantity it was up to the Orient to supply the need.
He hopes, he said, that Congress would look favorably upon the admission of more Chinese in Hawaii and would work to his utmost to secure this result.
