Hawaiian Annexation.

The editor of The Review of Reviews
presents several strong reasons why
Hawaii should be annexed to the Unit
ed States without delay. The people of
the islands themselves want very much
to come to us for one thing. For another
we ought to have naval and coaling
station in the Pacific. Perhaps the
strongest reason of all is, however, that
unless we annex Hawaii the new repub-
lie of the Pacific may be offered bodily
to England. England would not leave
it to go begging while oarping, fussy
Miss Nancy critics split hairs over the
question whether she had any right un.
der tho constitution to accept Hawaii
aud what 4 . would do with it if she
got it. Hawaii comes to us exactly as
Texas did. and we did not hesitate
about receiving Texas. European ma
tions would not object to our annexing
Hawaii because We arc SO peaceably in>
clined that they are all we'll disposed
to US, says DR.. Shaw.
Another point. extremely important,
to 10 considered is summed by The Re.
view as follows:r
American control of Hnwni Is in some sense
4 duty that this country owes to Japan and
China Those ancient oriental states are seri-
ously lnenaced by tho aggressive attitude Of
the land grabbing European powers, and II
England or Germany should obtain HAWAII
the sort of peaceful development OF tho oriental
nations which is most to be desired by us
would be further endangered. Again, from
the political and strategic point OF Wow, the
position Of Hawaii ought to be regarded by us
az closely rotated TO other policies over
wlelmingly favored by tho people Of the United
States We refer to tho American control of
tho Nicaragua canal and to the acquisition or
