Hatch Says Japanese Competition Has Not Sent Away White Men
A reader letter from Francis Mwathe, printed in the Boston Transcript, argues that Japanese competition in Honolulu did not remove white workers but shifted labor dynamics. He cites annexation era shifts, construction booms and subsequent downturns, and questions on why Hawaiians were drawn to the mainland. He details wages, housing, and the impact on local trades, asserting American workers faced varying conditions and that Hawaiians may become citizens through evolving work patterns.
