HAWAII AS THE HUB.
Secretary Wood has been busy in re.
cent months preparing map showing
Hawaii to be the center of American
jurisdiction. Taking a
map of the photographic Office at Wash.
ington, Mr.. Wood drew n circle with
Hawaii as the hub. That circle takes
in New York on the east and Hongkong
ON the west, including just within the
are the Philippines, AS the westernmost
land on which the American flag flies.
Then Hawaii is used as n center for
distances and steamship lines. The
idea is novel and attractive from IN
standpoint. The map was
sent to Washington to be executed, if
possible, by the government and TO
bear the government S official imprint.
