GOOD PLANS PROPOSED
THE GOVERNMENT TO CONDEMN
MORE LAND.
The Wharves Must he Owned by the
People-A Road viii he Built Round
the Circuit.

The government gave out today
some additional plans concerning the
improvements in the harbor.
It has been decided to recon-
mend to the coming Legislature that
the 200 foot wharf that is now in
course of construction, be extended.
The Legislature will also be requested
to take up the question of general
harbor improvements with view
looking toward the ultimate owner
ship by the people of all the wharvcs
i'm the harbor.
Working on the plan of the absolute
ownership by the government of all
the wharves from one end of the har-
Dor to the other. the Cabinet will rec
ommcnd the building of a road around
the circuit, which will be accessible
to all the docks. This would he II
very valuable improvement to the
harbor and would be a great conven-
fence to the public and shippers.
Minister of the Interior King in
speaking of the harbor improvements
today stated that the governments po-
sition in the recent wharf controvcr-
sy is clear. "The Cabinet" put the
Minister, 'in building the 200 foot
wharf is acting under the authoriza-
ton of the last Legislature. The pro-
posed improvements in the harbOr are
in harmony with the report of the
special committee of experts that eX-
amined the harbor in 1890. Their
written report is now on file in my Of
fee"
In extending the government owner
ship of the wharves it will necessitate
the government entering into negotia
tions with Allen g. Robinson for their
property. The land will. in all prob
ability. be condemned, if arrangements
for its transfer cannot be made.

ing his business through trade with the newly
acquired territory. This led him to go still fur
Their. If he was gcing to try for the markets OK
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, why not
include some OF the other big markets OF the
world? Almost from the time when Dewey cleo
trifed the world by his brilliant victory in Ma
Mia Bay there has been an activity in search OF
all data bearing upon foreign trade never before
dreamed OF. When International matters have
become settled and these new trade fields are
opened for cultivation. it is safe to predict that
the. Americans will be on hand with so fierce
competition that the control Of the business Will
soon be gained.

quired territory the late report Of General Long
street Commissioner Of Railroads, contained the
following interesting paragraph:
"The annexation Of the Hawaiian Islands-the
possible. probable control Of the Philippine and
Ladrone islands-must open new trade relations
OF such growing proportions with them as TO
increase the business of all the bond-aided roads
so materially that it viii. be we'll within the
SCOPE of reason to anticipate their ability at an
early date to pay principal and interest OF their
debt to the United States. These new Eastern
TROPICAL products-our annual demand for whch
is TO the extent of 1925 900 900 about one-third
OF our entire imports)-will in few years be
entirely furnished from these new possessions
and our own products taken in exchange, whiie
now our exports to these islands, ! believe, do
not exceed Sl5, 900 900 annually. Heretofore, I'M
der the former sway every effort has been made
to discourage business intercourse with Ameri-
cans Under the new order OF things In these
islands every effort will be made to encourage
trade with u.s. and when the population Is
doubled in number and is increased ten times in
ability TO produce and consume. which Is not
an unreasonable anticipation. what then viii
our trade amount to? 1t is almost impossible TO
imagine Less than five million British colonists
In Australasia exchange products to the amount
of $3.50 900 900 annually. 1t is only reasonable to
suppose that in few years the trade with our
new possessions will fully equal. IL 1t Will not
surpass. all this, of which the United States
must and will control the bulk"

French to he their most aggressive antagonists.
These three races have been seeking to control
a large share Of this business for years and
have spent much time and money in perfecting
the systems under which they operate. In one
particular they have had a great advantage
Through their banking connections in all the
principal cities of the Spanish speaking repub-
lies they have been able to meet certain busi-
ness methods in which long-term credits play a
most prominent part. American manufactur-
ers have sold largely through export commits
sion houses, getting cash for their goods, ana
preferring this method to running Me risk OF
losses which would not be under limitation or
control With equal banking facilities the
Americans would run away with the trade OF
Central and South America in short order.

commerce. 1t is safe to state, however. that
no country Is developing or increasing us ou sI
nesa with these Southern countries as rapidly
as the United States, and IL American manu-
facturers cultivate the business. as they are ex-
pected to, it will not be many years before the
United States will be the leader.
The buyers and merchants OF the Pan Ameri-
can trade require from six to nine months credit
In the European market they are able to obtain
such terms and therefore do their business
