THE SUGAR INDUSTRY 



SUGAR PRODUCED BY WHITE LABOR 



(From the London Correspondent of The North Queensland Register). 



The whole of the work in the cane fields throughout Queensland is now done by white 

 men, some 4,500 being employed. At one time some 10,000 Polynesian Islanders or kanakas 

 were employed, but they were gradually deported when the pohcy of a White AustraUa was 

 adopted by the Federal Government until, with a few exceptions, there are none now remaining. 

 The white man has shown that he can do the work, and do it well, even within the tropics. 

 The cane-cutters earn good wages, and those who cut by contract frequently bank £100 at 

 the close of the season, which lasts from June till January. The fact that every year cane- 

 cutters from the cold climate of Tasmania make their way to the far northern cane fields 

 and work in the cane-brakes in the middle of summer is sufficient proof that the climate of 

 the north is not so oppressive as it has been described by those who have been actuated by 

 sinister motives. It has now been clearly demonstrated that tlie white man may embark 

 in the cultivation of sugar-cane, even in the tropics, and perform his own labor without having 

 recourse to black labor.
