Mr.. Hatch reported for the Judici-
airy Committee, bill separating the
office of Minister of Foreign Affairs
from the office of President, and re-
commended its passage.
The report was adopted.
The same committee reported a bill
providing a salary of Si0,OOO year for
the President.
The bill was read for the first time.
President Dole said he desired that
the bill be discussed freely, and that
he should not be present. The Council
was of course familiar with the nature
of the Office and its duties, and also of
the prospect Of a change in the form
of the Government, ali OF which bore
on the question.
The Judiciary Committee asked for
further time in the matter of an en-
largement OF the Council.
Mr.. Brown said he thought the
Councils should take notice of the way
in which the newspapers We're speak
ing of members of the diplomatic
corps and of the heads OF foreign cOun-
tries. He would like to know il the
Executive Council had considered
this.
The Acknowledgement said the Gov
eminent had considered the matter.
The proper course was for diplomats
to complain to the Government. One
or two complaints had been made, and
certainly there had been one or two
publications lately which approached
very near the border line.
President Dole said it was very diff
ficult to control the press, impossible
in some cases. The Government eX-
ercised more control here than in the
United States. He had had occasion
to demonstrate with editors some times
and had always been cOurteously lis
tened to. This tendency would break
forth occasionally, particularly where
political relations were so unusual and
extraordinary as at present between
Hawaii and the United States. This
accounted for some expressions which
had been used and which were regret
ted by all the members OF the Govern
ment.
Minister Dumcn said there were
some matters which required addi-
tional appropriation, and he would
introduce an Act providing for the
