EMIGRATICN TO CUBA
:
SANCTIONED.
Cuba
in
the
past
was
never
consid-
ered as
a field for emigrants
from
Bar-
bados,
but today
all eyes
are turned
to
that
Republic
as the
place
to
give
re-
lief to some
of our surplus
population
by affording employment
for thogsands
of agricultural
lahourers.
Cuba is noted
as a sugar
producing country,” but there
are
many
other
industries carried
on
beside
the
manufacture
of sugar.
The
iron and copper
mines
furnish
employ-
ment for thousands
of Gallegos (Spanish

labourers)
and banana
and
coconut
cul-
tivation
cigar and cigarette
making give
employment
to
the
natives.

and

and

tlousands

The

are
so

that

considered

dos and it is for one of these,
{‘haparra,
that an agent,
Mr

has
come here
in
search
of
labourers.
Mr,

cher,
on

approached
His
Excellency the
Governor
in Kxecu-
tive Uommittee
:for permission
to
re-
cruit
2000
labourers,
but
failed
o
get
a
favourable
answer
within
a
certain
time.
Meanwhile Myr. Nolaseo
received
a telegram
from,St.

informing
hiin' thatthe ‘Américan Government
had
granied
him
permissionto
reecruit
la-
bourers
fromthe
Q. S.

Mr.

received
an
iitimation
yesterday
that
the
Gov-
ernor-in-Executive
Committee
had
de-
cided
to grant
the application
to
recruit
labourers localiy.
A telegram
will there-
fore be uespateched
to St.

to Mr.
Noiasco
and
in
all
probability
he
will
be
returning
here
shortly
to make
ar-
rangements
for epgaging
labourars.
Emigration
to
the
U.

nd
thereis
''no-

Thousands
are
here
in

anxious
to
find
a
place
where
they
can
go
and
find

ployment
at

rates.
Cuba

a pvlace
and it
would have
been
criminal
had the

placed
any
obstacles
in the
way of
those
who
de-
sired
to emigrate.
We
admit
that
the
State
has
its duty
to perform
in
seeing
that
Barbadians
do
not
go to any
place
to be
ill-treated or
to
become
destitute
eventually,
but if a
country
is known
by
repute
to
be wealthy
and
to be
set-
tled the Barbados
Govt.
should
only
be
too
giad
to
know
that
a
demand
has
come
from that country
for
labourers.
In
a
subsequent
article
we
will give
some
particulars
about
Chaparra
and
offer certain advice
to persons
desirous
of emigrating
thither.—Barbados

SUGAR NOTES.
Belgium produced
205,000
tons of beet
sugar in the caronf‘gign
1914-15;in1915-16
it was 114,000 tons. 1916-17 it aggregated
136,000 tons and
jn "1817-18 it was only
131,000
tons. *Gérmany requisitioned
31,000 tons in 1914:15 and 50,000 in 1915-
16.
ABohemian exchange
says
that
**
Germany literallvplundered
Belgium and
the home consumption
was forced to one-
~
half of their nceds
and
large
quantitics
~
requisitioned
that way.”’
|
The sugar output
in
Denmark
for
the
-
year 1918-19 is placed
at
141,000
tons,
while the last
previous
three
years
the
figures
run
as
follows: 135.000,
112,000,
162,000 tons.
The eight hour
day has been introduced
into France
but exceptions
can
be
made
on
tfarms and
such
industries
where
it
is impossibie
1o adapt
the eight hour
day
to the conditions of the industry.

The
sugar market
in
southern
China
has
been
rather
inactive
in
the middle
of
March, according
to a recent report.
The
.
feeling between
China
and
Japan
is not
-
the
very
best
and
in
some
inscances
'
has
hindered
proper
trade
relationship.
-
~
White sugar
has been selling at $10.60 per
'
picul and brown at $9.60.
|
Seven factoriesin Germany
were
still
~ru: ning in March,
which
indicates
that
~
the
country
has
had
a long-drawn-out
season,
for seldom
did any factories even
run into January,
but the
war handicaps
have slowed down the whole procéedings.
The sugar
content
of beets
in
1918-19
is
|
placed at 15.38 per cent,
while
the
year
.
Previous
it was 16.74 per cent.
