We cannot afford to let them drift into
the possession of hostile or neutral
power: They constitute the only place
from Alaska to the tropics and from San
francisco toManila where loaf of bread
or glass of water can be obtained. The
Notifications and defense of the Hawai-
ian Islands would not cost as much as
single battle-ship. How many battle
ships and Notifications would be re.
qulred on the Pacific coast during either
peace or war If some foreign power
should hold this stronghold in the.Pacif
ic Ocean? Much could be said to the
commercial advantage of holding the
only halfway station of the Pacific, but
L do not propose to go into that ques-
ton. simply contend that tho annex
alton problem has nothing to do with
colonial expansion, and should not await
the settlement of the Philippines ques-
ton. The distinction should ke kept in
mind. The Philippines mean conquest !;
Hawaii means defense. The Philippines
mean colonial expansion ana militar-
ism; Hawaii means simply5the economi-
cal protection of our present territory"
