RESOLUTIONS.
Rep. kalua moved the following:
Whereas, SERIOUS differences
have arisen between the respective
members of the Cabinet with refer
cnce to the policy Of extending our
treaty relations with the United
States OF America and whereas the
AttOrney-Gcneral has asserted in
substance over his own signature in
the newspaper press OF Honolulu
that such differences were owing TO
an effort on the part of bis col
leagues in the Cabinet to contract
treaty relations with the United
States prejndicial to the indepen-
dencc of Hawaii rs 4 Sovereign
State and whereas the published
drafts of the treaty alleged by the
ajority Of the Cabinet to represent
their wishes and efforts in this be-
half are open to serious objection rs
being inimical to the Independent
action of Hawaii in matters of ma.

tension or revision has been dis
cusscd, such correspondence and

The mover, in support of his reso-
luton, referred to the public inter-
est taken in the treaty matter for
some time past. We all know that
there has been Il difference of opin-
ION in the Cabinet and the Attorney
General has come out publicly and
stated his version Of the difficulty.
As this is n matter of public impor-
lance, and as there is 4 difference in
the Cabinet, the House has 4 right
to demand that all documents be
laid before it. The House should
determine whether the Attorney
General or the other members Of the
Cabinet are right. For my part
am strongly in favor Of the treaty
provided il is proper treaty. The
present treaty has increased the
wealth and progress of this country
and if we can make Il new treat,
for the benefit of this country | an

to the difference on this treaty, I'm.
less it is in the sixth article, provid,
ing that the treaty is to be in force

This means that If Hawaii wishes Il
Withdraw from the treaty at any
time she cannot do so without til,
consent of the United States.
Rep. kapaehaole was in favor o
