SAN FRANCISCO, August 31.-Sen-

CH|LL|NGWORTH TALKS
OF PACIFIC G|bRA[T TAR

Charles F. Chillingworth, a Hawai-
ian, known throughout the islands, and
q member of the Hawaiian Senate,
was in Portland Friday. Mr.. Chilling
worth is in many ways remarkable
man. He stands six feet high, weighs
24S pounds, and is only 81 years old,
yet is one of the leading lawyers in
Hawaii
We have some wonderful islands
away off there" said Mr.. Chilling
worth, as he sat in the Oregon Grill
listening to his countrymen in the Ha-
waiian orchestra. They are the key
to the Pacific Ocean. The nation that
controls Hawaii rules the Pacific. Ha-
waii is too small ever to hope to hold
such position herself, perhaps the
proudest position any nation in the
world could hold, so she wants to be
right where she is now-under the
Stars and Stripes.
Perhaps no place on earth has a
more mixed population. Out of 154, 900
inhabitants of all races, 71,0OO are
Japanese, and the japanese colonists
are increasing at the rate of 500 a
month. Still we on the islands have
no fear of them, that they will ever
attempt to seize the group; but you
can never tell. you know.
Last year we exported s42, ,O00, 600
worth of sugar alone. This should
come back to US more than it does in
the way of Notifications, and especial
ly in drydock for the Navy. we
need that there above all else. If the
people of America realized the impor-
tance of Hawaii they would fortify it
like Gibraltar or Port Arthur. And if
the United States loses the islands
some day from the want Of such pre-
cautions, she will have a warm time
getting them back
Where can a feet coal that is at
tacking them for any length of time?
No matter what is thought about the
Philippines, America must protect Ha-
waii, the quicker the better. Let
America hold Hawaii and from there,
with her fleet, she can fully protect
the entire Pacific and Alaskan coasts.
But let another nation have Hawaii.
say Japan or Germany, and it would
take long line OF ships and forts to
protect this coast line from a hostile
fleet quartered in Honolulu. America
must wake up to the fact that Hawaii
is the Gibraltar of the Pacific, and act
accordingly"
Mr.. Chilhngworth will tour the Uni
ted States before returning to Homo
lulu This is his first visit to America.
