THE NEED OF HAWAII
ENGINEER IN CHIEF MELvILLE'S ARGu-
MENT FOR ANNEXATION.
The Actual Nearness Of Hawaii ~ Flank
ing Position For Naval vessels-Advan-
tage OF Pearl Harbor rs sn ImpregnabIe
Ocean Fortress.

Recent events in the history of lands
bordering the Pacific ocean give added
| strength TO the strategic reasons favor.
| ing the annexation of Hawaii which
have existed almost since the United
| States was nation.
Hawaii's unique advantages as a
strategic point of prime Importance
have been set forth so ably and SO often
as to forbid their citation here. One or
two objections raised by not few nom
technical critics may, however, be con-
sidered. Pearl harbor is 2, 100 miles
from our western coast, and Madeira is
about the same distance from our east
ern shore. The latter has little, if any,
military value. Why, then, should Ha-
waii, parted by the same stretch Of sea,
exceed it in Importance? The critics for
get that the paramount worth of the
Hawaiian group in war will lie, first,
in the fact that the Pacific is so broad
that its passage will exhaust the coal
supply of war vessel, making neces-
sary renewal at Honolulu, and, Sec
ond, in the isolation of the group, with
the absence of other land between it
and our coast. If the Pacific were as
narrow as the Atlantic, or if other is
lands intervened-as with Madeira-be-
tween our western shore and Hawaii,
the strategic value of the latter would
be largely reduced.
Again, it has been urged that if we
shall take the group we shall but ac-
quire territory to defend-an element
not of strength, but of weakness, in
war and one which will make necessary
large additions to our fleet. Pearl har-
Dor can be made an impregnable ocean

One thing that postpones the crash

history that could be conceived. The
bends of kinship of themselves do not
necessarily make men partners in busi
ness or political adventure Unquali-
fed by other considerations, as often
as not they lead to suspicion or antag-
enism. But common danger, added to
the ties of blood, language, and inter
est, forms the strongest cement that
could be found to hold peoples together
defensively and Extensively.
The early part of the century marked
the struggle for national unity. Later
there was one for race unity. The end
of it is characterized by the opening Of
a movement for race domination. The
years soon to come, and the opening
decades of the next century, VIII wit
ness an inevitable contest for the lead
in the worlds affairs, and the issue will
be commanding influence for either the
AngIo-Saxon, the Latin, or the Slav.
From that fight for life this country
cannot withhold Itself. With any re-
gard to It's future prosperity, even its
integrity, it cannot wait even now to
range itself on the side of its natural
support.
The time has come for the Anglo
American alliance. In stating this
proposition, The Times is in a safe
position to support it. We have made
a record for intense opposition to the
British arbitration treaty. We have
regarded British motives in that and
other matters with much suspicion.
We have believed that our RAPID
growth was contemplated in a spirit OF
jealousy by our insular relatives. Con-
cede that we were right. Times
change, and we must change with them
when necessity arises, or go to the
wall.
The stern condition confronts US. 1t

is the world able to destroy Great Brit

The downfall of the late liberal
ministry and the construction of new
one of the same political complexion
will not mend matters. Sagasta re-
mains at the head OF the government
but he is discredited and powerless to
stem the tide of revolution. Riot and
bloodshed are everywhere in the king
dom, and the national authorities have
shown themselves utterly incompetent
to suppress the universal outbreak.
The outlook must be bad indeed for
the present dynasty when its best
friends are talking openly of military
dictatorship under Marshal Martinez
de Campos as the only alternative to
one, probably, under the butcher Wey-
Ter. The Alfonsists entertain the hope
that Campos might be able to restore
order, and then, with the help of Aus
tria and other monarchical govern
ments, replace the little king upon the
throne which it is plain that, in few
days, he must fly from, If he does not
have to reIinquish 1t forever.
1t happens that the Alfonsist party.
although enjoying the moral support OF
one or more foreign courts. is in great
disfavor at home just now, and the
least attempt on its part to change thu
executive status quo, by turning over
the royal functions to Campos or any

dogs of civil war and open wide the
door to complete anarchy
The American representative of the

The AngIo-Americnn Alliance.


The time comes in the history of ma
tions when they must cast aside past
prejudices and policies and readJust
themselves to imperative conditions,
which do not admit Of change through
the operations Of sentiment or inclina-
ton.
Such time has come in the evolu-
tion Of our Republic. Honor, decency,
and humanity have compelled US to
proclaim the outlawry of Spain. and to
undertake the task of expelling that
barbarous medieval power from the
Western Hemisphere. In the course of
our punitive movement we have found
il necessary to capture a vast and re-
mote colonial posse ssion of Spain in
the Far East We would not have
taken it for the sake Of conquest and
territorial aggrandizement, bur, once
under our Gag, the unfortunate inhabi-
tauts of the Philippines cannot be reIe-
gated to Spanish misrule and persecu-
tiOn.
The TWO principles Of action just
stated force US to confront interna-
tionaI problems of the gravest charac-
ter. Our assumption of paramount in
nGence as the monitor of Western civil
Iization. under the Monroe doctrine, is
vehemently resented by nations seek
ing colonial expansion and commerce

OF naval activity and willingness to as
sumo the position of a first-class mill
tary power in Asiatic waters has Gre
ated dismay in continental Europe, as
being calculated TO disturb the balance
which has been carefully sought be-
tween the governments of the Old
World, in the course of which those of
the continent had nearly succeeded in
isolating If not eliminating Great Brit
