Why Annexation Should Gain.

The report from Washington that the
Hawaiian annexation treaty is gain
ing converts in the Senate is not diff
cult to believe. Whether it will have
the requisite two-thirds is another
matter for there are various interests
enlisted in opposition.
One great reason why the idea should
gain converts by discussion is that the
opponents have no reasonable alterna-
tive to offer. If we do not annex Ha-
wall what then? That is a sensible.
pertinent question and it has not and
cannot be satisfactorily answered.
Now is the time to annex if at all.
Delay means that the opportunity Will
results are Objectionable we can give
up the islands to another fate without
greater violence to our traditions and
policy than to refuse to take the step
which our course for over fifty years
has led up to.
To tell the men who have struggled
against great odds to Americanize
those islands that we have no further
use for them is to throw them into the
arms of some other country. for in the
nature of things they are not so Stu
ated that they will care to continue the
struggle they have made. When that
is done the opportunity for annexng
the islands will have gone by. Surely
just as to say to the republic w
won't take you on fair terms nor al
low YOU to make fair terms with an
other country" If we try t. maintain
protectorate under conditions sure to
arise we shall find. that we shall have
to adopt measures as objection
able to the antianneXationistS
more SO, than any which may be re-
quired under annexation. BY annexa-
tion we can most easily secure the
great advantages those islands offer;
by neglect to annex and attempting to
retain our influence there We shall be
treating the HaWaiians and ourselves
unfairly. The situation in the Orient

the future places any sort of a make

After all that discord and so-called
