FOR SELF PRESERVATION
PREMIER OF NEW SOUTH WALES
TALKS.
Says Australia Once Preferred to
Have Hawaii Remain Independent,
But Not So Now.

Hon. j. T. Reid, Premier of New
South Wales. was through passenger
by the Miowera yesterday, on his re-
turn from the Queens Jubilee. Ac-
companied by Hon. c. c. Kingston,
Premier of South Australia, he was an
interested visitor to many parts of
port. Mr.. Reid has been here before
and is well informed on Hawaiian af-
fairs and conditions. Expressing him
self on the present situation, he said:
''In Australia we are firmly of the
opinion that the destiny of Hawaii is
either to become part of the United
States, or to become the prey of in
fluences that will be her undoing. We
have watched with deep interest the
struggle you have made against jap
anese encroachments, and were hap
py indeed to see the United States
step forward at the critical moment
to wrest you from your peril. The
eyes of the whole Christian world were
upon you a few months ago, and it is
gratifying at this time to see how well
you are getting along.
"Some of the great powers on the
Atlantic do not realize the important
position all Pacific ocean countries
occupy at the present time. Every
pin head on this great sea is pivot
around which revolves some mighty
influences, for, between your shores
and those of Tasmania on the north
and south, and America and Asia and
Africa on the east and west, will APP
pear the theater of the greatest strug-
giles of our future times. 1t will be
the line upon which Christianity will
have its final battle with heathenism,
and Occidentalism will have TO meet
the wave of Orientalism and hurl it
back into Tx Ha.ui'I ccrnel, w.4tIe i.
must eventually perish.
"It is a serious condition we Pacific
people are facing. Australia has tax
en- the lead in the fight for self pres
ervation. We have said to Asiatics:
You cannot overrun our country;
you must stay away and we have
adopted such measures as successfully
debars the Chinaman and the Japan,
ese from our shores. We were forced
to this step by the oncoming strug-
gle l have spoken of. You must adopt
the same measures, and must act
quickly and boldly. In such step
Hawaii would make friends and
would find herself stronger than she
knows.
"AnneXation to the United States
is the proper move. There was time
when Australia preferred that Hawai-
remain independents; but now we fee
that the measure you propose will bt
better for you and for us. After all
Americans are our cousins and Aus
| tralians are proud of the kinship. Ha
waii as part of that country would
greatly strengthen the Anglo-SaXor
and Christian influence on the Pacific
and woud prove an important force
in working out the destiny of the rae,
in this big ocean world"

the most beautiful oil to cook with. What
do you make oil out of to cook with?"
When told that we allowed things to
