The full text of the Senate commits
sion's report on Hawaiian affairs may
show local organizations have acted
hastily in protesting against the
supposed recommendations that Amer
can land laws be applied here. There
is no such recommendation in the brief
abstract cabled here. The message re-
ceived said that the commission recon-
mended control by the United States
of the public lands of Hawaii in two
districts, withheadquartes at Honolulu
and Hilo." This does not say anything
about the American land system. The
United States might control our public
lands and continue to carry out our
present Hawaiian land policy and laws.
The wording of the dispatch does not
warrant jumping to the conclusion that
the Senate commission has advised
wiping out the Hawaiian land laws and
substituting the American system as
whole. However it is well to be alive
and alert.
