the opinion that it savOrs OF an
American campaign document.
But assuming that there is at
least semblanCc OF truth In the
statement, the Government has |
a stronger foe than it has vet had |
TO combat; stronger at least from
a numerical point OF view, and
different from the last IN
The sense that the people are
more scattered and their NUM-
lions OF war as well as their
methods of warfare would be
different. This result aimed at
would not be the same because
it would probably be their intcn-
tion to assume control OF the
territory in the name OF their
Empero~. In such case the Gov
.rnment would have among its
lilies citizens of every other
nationality residing here. Every
one knows that two years ago
there was a great deal OF talk
about the intentions of Japan and
a great deal of speculation as TO
the outcome OF the trouble II the
Japanese flag should be hoisted
over the islands. Japan had no
intention then of interfering in
the affairs of Hawaii and proba-
DIV has less intention today. In
the first place the location is
against it, and outside OF the
laborers and a couple Of hundred
merchants Japan has no particu,
lar interests here. TO read
newspapers and to listen to the
utteranccs of some people one
would suppose Hawaii to be a
very rich golden nugget rather
than a pear ripe for plucking'
and that every government IN
the universe was ready to lay
hands upon it. When Hawaii
loses its sovereignty it will be
| through treaty with the Gov
eminent which the people,
through their representatives,
NAV select. In the United States
opinions are divided as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of the scheme; Eng
land does not consider the matter
at all because it recognizes
Americas claim owing to its
geographical Position as well as
the interests represented; japan
couldn't take the Islands if il
wanted because both England
and the United States woulC
each have, metaphorically speak
ing, chips on their shoulders thai
would have to be knocked off
Its success in the war with Chin;
might tempt it to seek Other
worlds to conquer, but II the
Japanese look in the cause o
their success they would fine
! that it was owing simply to inter
course with more enlightened
/ and accepting instructions il
, warfare from more progressive
people. 1t is hardly possible
they would care to engage in
war with the races who hav
shown them the way" Hawai-
