He Ascribes the Prosperity of the
Islands TO Unrettersa Commercial Re
lntions with the United states.
Mr. Bayard regards the present situa
tion in Hawaii as the natural result of
forces that have been operating there
for a long time and which, therefore are
not unex pected He ascribes the pros
porous condition of the islands 10 their
commercial relations with the United
States, and thinks that these commercial
interests and the geographical relations
which the islands hold TO the United
States make the American interest vastly
superior TO those OF any other nation
The new constitution of Hawaii was
promulgated ON July z, 1897, Ia Decem
Der, 1857 Mr.. Bayard received from the
British minister memorandum from
Lord Salisbury recalling the convention
between England ana France entered
into IN 1913, by which these nations are
bouud to consider the sandwich Islands
an Independent state, and never 10 lake

the territory Of hich they are composed.
isoru Salisbury suggested that tine best
way TO secure this object would be for
the United States with England aud
Germany, TO join in similar formal
declaration, aud guarantee the neutral
itv o. the islands and their harbors TO
all nations.
In reply to this memorandum Mr.. Bay
ard wrote:
.'rhe existing treaties of the United
States and Hawaii create as you are
aware, special and important recipro
cities, and to which the pre- sent material
prosperity of Hawaii may be said to owe
It's existence
By one of the articles the cession OF
any part of the Hawaii territory to any
other government without the consent
of the United States is inhibited. In
view of such existing arrangements II
does not seem needful for the United
States to Join with the English Govern
ment In their guarantees to secure
neutrality Of Hawaiian territory, nor 4
provide for that equal accessibility o.
all nations which now exists.
"The prosperity Of Hawaii says Mr.
Bavard, was due to the free trad
