In this article, the author describes one of his visits to Honolulu, Hawaii. The author says that they arrived in Honolulu early in the morning. Longshoremen swarmed up the gangway, Hawaiians, Koreans, Chinese, Portuguese, a few whiles, and even some Japanese. It seemed strange to find Japanese working on the docks and ships, but these were born in Hawaii and were American citizens. It was not long before everybody coming on the ship was telling them about the onion situation in Honolulu. Hawaii has never grown anything much except sugar and pineapples.
