ready TO answer now. Generally
the policy of a Ministry is ioreshad-
owed in the speech from the throne,
but we have had no such opportu-
nifty. Our policy is to promote such
legislation as will be conducive tc
the benefit of all classes. We shall
ask for liberal appropriations for i'll
ternal improvements, more cspeci
ally for deepening the entrance tt
Honolulu harbor, which in our opin
ion is matter of great Importance
We shall endeavor to promote al
efficient, at the same time an econo
mical administrator of public af
fairs. And last but not least, W,
: are pledged to preserve the indie
! pcndence and autonomy of the king
dom. This is of course very com
, prehensive policy and we cannot d.
it all ourselves, but if we have tb
assistance of this House we shall b
able to carry it out.
