THE remarks of the honorable gen
tleman remind me of crying after the
milk is split. He was of those who
told us Hawaiians that by overthrow
ing our Queen and securing annexation,
all we Hawaiians would be wealthy.

could pick II up by the shovel full. He
was in the annexation crowd In those
days. II was we HaWaiians who cried

us in 93. we would never have had the
trouble we have today with thesa peo-
pie. 1t is like crying over split milk,
