only ho would agree Ia it. He objected 10 mixinp
up the two things together. lie would like to ask
the member for koOltuppkp II his father wAs
brought here or IL hg came himself.
falohnn sud hc would support tho item If IL
was Tor the purpose Of bringing single women To-
increase the population.
Cleghorn said the introduction of population
was an all important with NJ. II was the
only Legitimate obicc. for which they should Dor
row money. Tho whole population was only about
Jonc-tcnth Of u first rate city. There arc more
people born in London in three months than the
wholc population Of Hawaii. Ho waB opposed to
thiiiamon because they don't bring their women
WIFI lhcin. Ihay have great many vices On .,
recent visit to Kau,i lie found they were getting
all t1o young girls they could and thiS m lido the
natives feel very bitter. He looked upon the Por-
tngncse NJ good race because they marry Ht-
waiiinl. He would like japanese to 10 brought
here ny no believed they would mix well with the
iawaiahs, Ho WAS not going t, throw any re-
hection on past administrations with regard to the
Introduction of South Sci Islanders. IL vas done
AS an experiment, and he WAS satisfied IL was an
utter failure ~ lbJrers; and also for population
because they were weak and sicdy. They were no
credit TO the King or any one else. They would
never be able - build up the country with them.
tie referred to thg United States growing from a
handful of people from Great Britain to be the
greatest nation ON the earth One hundred and
sixty acres was given to each emigrant As an in
ducemont. Hero We cannot give the land because
We have not got II. The Great Powers are ius,
waiting to see If we intend to build up country
or not. Every country il growing, whereas Ur-
woii has dwindlo1 from half million to GDODJ
inhabitants. He would like to preserve the Ha-
Wailan people, Mt the same time must bring
fresh people III order to do so. Hc would there
fore vote Tor the S5JlOJD and wished the Govern
ment had asked for double that amount.
Rhodes said that If there WAS any excuse for
borrowing money, this WAS the legal one. So
much had been said on tho subject that not much
was left for him t. say. whatever has been said
~ the truth. Population tx required. Everybody
knows what he had said about Chinese in former
sessions, so 1T wt3 hardly necessary for him to say
any more now. The only reason he found fault
with the Chinese WAS because they do not bring
their women with them. They consequently de-
stroY the women Of these islands. The Govern
ment ask for f5OO,0J0 to control the introduction
OF people. If the Assembly don't give them this
money, there is private Company, the Planters
Labor and Supply Company, who will bring labor
ers no matter from where. Labor they must have
wherever 1t comes from They will bring in single
men and the population will decrease; the evil
VIII 90 on until the whole people destroyed.
Ihey must seek for the good of the country and
themselves collectively. All foreigners vino have
settled here and taken the oath of allegiance are
lust AZ much Hawaiian as though they were native
born, and they must have the good of the country
at heart as they hayeal their means invested mere.
The motto of the United States when small was
United we stand, divided we fall" 1t ia a thou
sand times more with this small population.
Therefore they should all hang together. What is
good for the naturalized foreigner is good for the
native Hawaiian and rice versa.
MIR. Gibson said that the late administration
had arranged for a credit of 100000. 1t is true
that some OF 1t viii come back again, but when all
IL expended by the emigration agents, he believed
the whole 100000 would be absorbed. 1t WAS
Just sufficient to meet the obligations which the
Government Ii pledged. He thought that the
native members would understand that the only
object of the Government is to strengthen the in
depe idence of the country. He referred to the
United States, where there Is probably larger
Indian population than when white men first set
foot there. 1t Was true they had left the Coast;
but there had been large increase in the interior
The Indians in the British Dominions organize
themselves and have their own pariiaments but it
Is not so in the United States. In Mexico there
il n population of 100000 of which 7OOOOOO are
pure Indians. He had seen a pure Indian sitting
AZ President of the Republic Of Mexico. General
Romero, an Indian, represented the Republic at
the city OF Washington, therefore the increase is
due to civilization. CorteZ estimated the popula-
tion at O,OOOOOO of people. This country needed
population and the Government hoped to benefit
by past experience, and introduce something that
would add to the welfare and benefit Of the
country.
