1t would be foolish to deny that a
strong feeling against the treaty exists
in the present congress The gospel
OF sclishncSs is likely to have great
weight with politicians aiming To be
statesmen. The reasons ofinternational
politics which make these islands
essential to the naval supremacy of the
North Pacific have no weight with
those short sighted folk who can only
compute results in dollars and cents.
We have no right to expect considcra-
ton from men who have not brains
enough to realize how much the
possession of these islands may some
time mean or who have been pur-
chased with money from the same
corruption fund that pays the venal
press and the venal lobby now arrayed
against us. But there is fortunately an
diverse side to this disagreeablc pic
ture Senator ohm Sherman of Ohio
one of the clearest headed, most
logically demonstraiive and most con
SeUative of Republicans favors an ex-
tension of reciprocity to include the
American system of nations-of
which Hawaii forms an inseparable
part by right Of its intimate CONNER
cial relations and by virtue of its mis-
sionay colonization. Senator Cockrell
OF Missouri is also a friend of the ex-
tension of reciprocity. His plan is to
increase American commerce by build
ing up trade with South American
countries through the fostering aid of
reciprocal commerce. The contending
forces may and may not lock horns on
the question. We have friends and
enemies in congress; and we must not
make the mistake of denying that many
of Our enemies are quite honestly
ignorant OF the paramount importance
OF these islands to the naval supremacy
OF the United States. 1t is for our
friends in the senate and in the house,
aided by our public and private repre-
Sentatives in Washington, to show,
by facts and figures, the real i'm
portance of these islands to
the foster parent which has
been so kind to us. Ii can
afford to continue its kindness. The
large sum it pays us yearly is but drop
IN the sea compared to the advantages
this peaceful possession gives. 1t
might have TO pay for US outright or
come and take us"
