Works.

P''~A Kuhio Kalanianaole, Delegate
to Congress, and the Princess Kalani-
anaole arrived yesterday on the steam.
ship China, having come direct from
Washington. At san Francisco they
parted from Queen Liliuolalani, who
is to arrive on the Sonoma from Sar
Francisco. The Prince will leave foi
the Coast on the Ventura with other
members of the Republication delega-
ton to the Chicago convention, the
Princess remaining in Honolulu.
I'VE had a delightful winter in
Washington said the Princess aboard
the China. II enjoyed the national
capital very much and would like an
other winter there, but I'm glad to
get back home again. We are looking
forward to a repast of poi and fish as
soon as we arrive on shore. .
Both the Prince and Princess are
looking exceedingly well.
Prince Kuhio was interviewed con-
corning Hawaiian affairs at Washing
ton. He replied that all matters Ha-
waiian hold the interest of official
Washington and the islands have
many friends. AS to future legfsla-
ton with appropriations for Federal
improvements. the Prince stated that
he had many promises OF assistance.
But they are promises" he said, s'and
promises are not always kept
"Am I candidate for reelection?
Well. I will say that am not the man
to go out seeking such things. I have
always been opposed to the idea. Yet.
having been to Congress, and begin
ming to know the ropes pretty well,
it might be well to have the same
Delegate go back. If the people want
me to go back, that Is for them to
say. / look at the matter in this way.
To send a new man to Congress all
the time is not the way to advance
the interests of the islands. Every
new man has to be broken III, to learn
the ropes, and by the time he has
learned everything to get start, the
opportunity for getting any material
appropriation has passed by.
Federal building appropriations are
at present out of the question. What
will be done next session. have no
means of knowing, although / have
promises to this end. There are other
places besides Hawaii which Congress
has to attend to. However, believe
the people OF the islands are showing
to the nation that we can make bet
ter showing all around than any Of
the other territories.
There is one thing which the people
Of this territory should bear in mind.
That is factional strife 1t is well
known to Washington officials and
hey are only waiting until that comes
20 an end here before they make at
empts to do anything for US.
There is nothing new about Pearl
Harbor In fact, the way / look at
he matter there will never be any
hing done with Pearl Harbor as far
IS the Navy Department is concerned
until appropriations are made for the
trny to put up Notifications in the
Secretary Moody told me that Ha-
vail must lag behind now that the |
philippines have come to the fore for
ttention. Hawaii is out Of it as |
ar as war is concerned. In case OF |
var in the Far East 1t would be the /
which would have to be
,oked after, not Hawaii. That is the
lanner IN which he talks about navy
latters for the islands.
81 know nothing whatever about ap-
ointments to the bench Whatever
overnor Carter says is law. ANY

81 felt sighted when the appoint
ents of Governor Carter and others
ere made by President Roosevelt be-
luse was not consulted in the mat
r. If the islands are to be represent
at Washington, believe that the
,licy of the President should be to
insult whatever representative Is
lere concerning matters relating to

IT must admit that a Republican
.legate is the one that should be at
1t is either that or a
smocrat, and naturally a Republican.
hen that party is the administration.
II have not heard anything about
.deraI control of the Leper Settle
ent, but I am opposed to such a
'licy.
..Another thing. there is too much
TX from the islands reaching Wash
zton about the need of Asiatic labor
don't believe it can be done, and at
.st for the present I know it is en-
ely out Of the question.
ION my way back I visited the
orld's Fair at st. Louis. and to tell
u the truth was disappointed. It
a very poor show at present. The
