II we had the Hawaiian Islands it would
cost ten times as much TO protect them as il
would San Francisco. These annexction ad :
vocates would have US believe that the islands
would just protect themselves and send out
ship after ship to the rescue of San Francisco,
5000 miles away. Of course. it is presumed
that we would keep the harbor out there iun
of Ironclads, and all for the protection of San
Francisco ship lying out there would be
worth so much more 10 the defense of San

According to Senator Lodge Hawaii is to be
annexed by trick and device.
The constitution provides that the treaty of
annexation must be ratified by two- thirds OF
the Senate before it can become effective. But
Senate Lodge suggests that if serious opposi.

passing a joint resolution, already pending
which requires only majority vote
