Have you ever seen Chinese coolies in class of Chinamen employed as servants in Vancouver coarser labour class of coolies? To them the most elementary rules of hygiene or cleanliness are unknown. How much soap, how many changes of linen will 20 cents a day bug for a Chinese coolie even if he yearned for such luxuries? The Chinese coolie does not ask for linen, nor much of any other kind of clothes - a "twisted bit of rag" is about all he seeds or wants. And a bath-tub - what does he know or care about such a thing?
Every time you use chinese sugar you contribute to the support of the linenless, bathless and soepless coolies of Hongkong - but when you use British Columbia sugar you help to support and to build up an industry employing hundreds of well paid workmen in Vancouver. You keep your money in circulation at home – you son- tribute incidentally to the soap maker, the plumber, the bathtub maker, the linen and clothing merchants - YOU HELP TO BUILD UP YOUR OWN CITY.
And it costs you no more to buy British Columbia refined sugar than it does to buy bathless coolie sugar from Hongkong.
You need not be deceived by the specious claim that Hong Kong coolie sugar is "British sugar”,
If there were two sugar refineries in Vancouver, one employing white labour exclusively and one using only Chinese coolie help, which would you profert They would both be British and more British than any Chinese "treaty port for revenue only" can er over will be, and that is the only sense in which Hongkong is British.
The Vancouver World, 27th May, 1914.
Would you relish a meal cooked by a half-naked, unwashed, perspiring chinese coolie, whose bath consisted of nothing more than a shower of rain – where rain is raret
Then imagine a horde of unwashed Coolies in the steaming heat of an Oriental sugar refinery preparing the sugar you use on your table, sugar is the natural habitat of many kinds of germs and the food of many insects.
Well, Hongkong mgar, refined by semi-naked, unwashed, steamy, melly coolies, has a fine chance to became iñoculated with all the unpleasant things which such conditions are liable to pro- duce.
You don't like to think about it, do you? Well, imgine yourself eating the stuff produced under such conditions.
The Vancouver World, 28th May, 1914.
COOLI OR CYÁBAN BUGAR. British Columbia sugar is automat- leally put through all the processes of refining without being touched by hand."Automatic conveyors carry it from one department to another until it is finally packed into cartons or filled into sucks by machinery. All these processes are operated by cleanly, well paid white workingmen.
Contrast the methods and men of the British Columbia Refinery with those of the Oriental factory in Hongkong where only spolies are employed, the lowest type of Chinese, who know nothing of soap and water, baths or clean clothes - and very little of any other kind of clothes.
They live and work under conditions which make sanitation er ordinary personal cleanliness impossible even if they knew or desired it.
Then you use Hongkong sugar you use the produce of the hands of that sort of labor. It is not a pleasant subject to dwell upon, but you mat to know the sort of stuff you are using on your table.
