Opposed to AnnexIng Hawaii.

In opposition TO the annexation of
Hawaii, Mr.. DinsnH0re, the ranking
Democrat on the committee on foreign
affairs, opened the debate in the house
Saturday. According to a newspaper
synopsis he declared his belief that no
constitutional power existed TO annex
by joint resolution. as was proposed i,
and he opposed annexation az being
undesirable It would be. he insisted
the first step upon policy Of colonial
aggression. n autsgonism TO the es-
tablished rule Of the government, and
added that the reaching out into for
eign lands and the establishment there
Of American institutions would neces-
citate the abandonment Of the Monroe
Doctrine. Logic would dictate 1t and
the world would demand 10. America
could not interfere IN other lands and
prohibit foreign interference in affairs

long discussion Of the unconstitutional
iry Of annexation By resolution. read

that no power to annex thus existed.

said, il open the entire year. and the
coolest weather on record at the Aleu-
tians was degrees above zero. He
argued That hostile ships. with the aid
Of golfers. conld operate against the
western coast The holding Of Hawaii
would necessitate the keeping Of a
powerful naval force there, and would
not relieve In any sense the necessity
for keeping great force at the sea
ports Of the western coast. Speaking Of
the suggestion that Hawaii would be
essential 10 the control Of the Nicaragua
Canal Mr.. Dinsmore said San Fran

Mr. Dinsmore argued that annexation
would mean foreign ENHANCEMENT,

against the suggested Anglo American
alliance rs being a something much to
be desired by England, but to be
avoided by the United States. Pro-
testing finally against taking the
Islands, he said: IF we take them,
