be surprised at being credited with
such extensive foreign possessions.
The fact is these scattered islands
are only American in the sense that
their guano deposits have been
worked by American companies, and
doubtless these would have had the
protection of their Government had
that been necessary. AS the guano
has in most cases been exhausted,
the islands are of little further use,
and it is not the least likely the Gov
ernment of the United States will
give itself any trouble about them.
1t is generally regarded as fore
gone conclusion that the Hawaiian
group will very soon become an ac-
knowledged, as it is now virtual,
appendage to the United States, and
from any point of view this Archi
pelago is one of the most desirable
in all the Pacific. 1t was offered to
us years ago, but we declined to have
it. When it falls to the United
States, probably the islands and
reefs to the northwest will be an
nexed at the same time As to the
interest of the United States in
Samoa, that will never stand in the
way of German annexation, though
no doubt the former will insist on
her right to the coaling station which
was ceded to her on Tutuila.
