CONDITIONS IN HAWAII.
To the Editor of the Herald
! have Just read your article en-
titled 'Japan's Hand Stretched To-
ward Hawaii printed in the Herald.
You have given very correct and
clear statement of the facts of the
subject, and the enterprising, pro-
gressive japanese have certainly a
very strong foothold in every con-
ceivable vocation in these islands.
If for any reason, or by force Of
the Japanese govern
ment should prohibit the emigration
from Japan to this country or recall
those of them who are now at work
on the plantations here, the sugar
would be bankrupted. This
would be dire disaster to all lines
of business here for ID is a fact that
all business of any nature in these
islands is directly or indirectly kept
alive by the sugar industry Why,
even the Territorial administration
would be bankrupted, for there would
not be. taxes enough obtainable TO
pay salaries, let alone maintain roads
and school houses, etc,
It does not seem possible that the
United States Federal government
would allow such disaster to hap
pen, and it is a good time now to
prevent it. in my opinion. Not only
prevent the collapse of the great
commercial business, banking, mer-
cantile steamship and shipping bust
ness, built up aud kept alive by the
sugar production. but prevent the
japanese getting and keeping the up

from Europe.
Hawaii had to hold on to sugar.
II sugar was not profitable the COM
munity would be ruined. However.
Hawaii was on the lookout fors other
industries. The local market was
too small to support local industries.
A foreign market was necessary. The
coast market was limited. The main
product was fruit, but the American
shipping law prevented export be-
cause they prevented frequent and
rapid steamer communication. Ha-
wall had a grievance in the fact that
the coastwise shipping law was ex-
tended here. This should be altered.
The tourist business was also inter
fered with by this law. Hawaii had
now only five first class passenger
steamers to depend on. The steam
ship offices would show tremendous
waiting lists of passengers who could
rot be accommodated. 1t was not a
square deal to put Hawaii on the par
with New York. In this matter Ha-
wall had not received the square deal
which it had Joined the Union to
get.
The land question was also dis
cussed by Thurston. 1t had been
suggested to have the Federal land
system applied here. This he OPP
posed. Tremendous frauds had been
rerpetrated under the Federal laws
and had shown that they were loose
ly drawn. The local laws, with a
few amendments, were better adapt
ed to Hawaii than any legislation
that Congress was liable to give .Ha-
wall on the subject. The land laws
had been too strictly construed by
Carter and Pratt, though both had
been excellent officials. Homestead
ers had been frightened away by too
technical construction of the land
law More discretion should be ex-
ercised.
J. A. McCandless followed Mr..
Thurston and read paper on the
transportation situation.
Secretary Straus said that the
meeting should be principally for
the purpose of telling him facts. He
did not want to utter platitudes and
compliments. He had been much in
structed by the speakers.
"While am cabinet officer

7 Just received letters from friends
and relatives sympathizing with me
and Mrs. Straus that we had to spend
cur time here, while we had to laugh
In our sleeves, as we wished that we
could spend all the summer here"
Secretary Straus ended his speech
with tribute to the hospitality
which had been offered him here. He
believed that there were more uni
versity-educated men among the
white people here than could be
found in community of similar size
anywhere else. This might account
for the high standard of the COM
munity
II regard these Islands of the
greatest Importance not only to
themselves, but also to us. | have

1.-THE world has passed through
several distinct periods since modern
times. Since the reformation the
ziet geist or national spirit was re-
ligious or ecclesiastical grounds, and
the conflicts of nations were on &C.
clesiastical grounds which culminat-
ed in the Thirty Years war. Then
came the spirit of conquest, the DOM
mating spirit, which eliminated in
the Infatuated heroism of the Ma
poleonic wars. With the struggle
for independence of the American
colonies new spirit was ushered in.
the commercial spirit. The war was
brought on by commercial questions,
taxation on tea, the sugar act. Sug-
ar has played an important part in
the conflicts of nations. Sweet as 1t

and Cuba. The swamps around Homo
lulu melted illness, especially yellow
fever. The Pinkham scheme had been
shown to be feasible and the Federal
Government might well supply the
money necessary to fill up the swamps.
Another plan for the appropriation
of Federal money locally was to use it
for educational purposes. The people
who were doing things here, Ameri-
cans, English, Germans and to some
extent the Portuguese, formed very
small percentage OF the total popula-
ton. The Hawaiians were savages
two generations ago. though he had
no fear of the future of Hawaii, after
he had studied their work during the
PAST two legislatures. 1t had been on
par with that of other states and
territories Hawaii did not want to
bother the United States with its,local
troubles, as there were few points on
which the Organic Act needed chang
ing. 1t was rather a danger to have
it tempered with.
Thurston returned to the education
al question 1t was great burden for
the Territory to educate thousands OF
Japanese. They had to be educated,
as they might become voters. On the
other hand they might go to Japan
or the mainland. They had to be
educated in the interest of American
ism, and it would be appropriate for
the Federal Government to assist the
Territory in carrying this burden.
This it had done in the Philippines.
and why should these islands be
treated better than Hawaii.
Speaking Of business conditions, the
speaker said that these had to be con-
sidered as a whole. Corporations in
the United States were looked on by
many as menace, but here they were
simply the expression of the methods
The best ordered under the flag. The
cooperative form of doing business
was prevalent here. The large cor
porations had large numbers of stock
holders. Nearly everyone enjoyed the
facilities offered by investments in
corporations to those more compli-
Gated Sugar formed SO per cent OF
Hawaii's exports. Without sugar
there would be no civilization here
worth mentioning. The sugar plant
ers were progressive, liberal and
broadminded There might have been
differences, but these problems could
be worked out by the Territory, and It
was to be hoped that Washington
would not interfere.
Hawaii had wanted annexation
for the sake of peace and commercial
stability Previous to annexation
each citizen had to have rifle. Now
this was not needed The talk about
a Japanese problem was nonsense.
The speaker was not afraid of the
japanese. He hoped that more
would come here for industrial pur-
poses. Hawaii needed labor, and
labor must come from Japan. China
was closed and it was too expensive
TO bring laborers in large quantities

speech of Secretary Straus to the bust
ness men on the Young Hotel roof
garden yesterday afternoon. The mat
Ter of the extension of the coastwise
shipping laws to this Territory was
condemned by him as strongly as it
was by the local men who spoke on
this proposition, and he promised to
use all his influence to better condi-
lions.
Geo. w. Smith opened the meeting
with short talk. He reminded those
present that Secretary Straus had
come here to learn For this reason
several local men would speak. l.. A.
Thurston said that all he intended to
do was to give Secretary Straus a few
facts which the community would like
him to hear. Hawaii had always
wanted to have the Washington au-
thorities come here to investigate for
themselves the conditions. Taft had
been here incidentally, but Straus was
the first cabinet officer to come for the
express purpose of seeing Hawaii.
Hawaii did not want much The
community was fairly contented and
prosperous; it was the only selfsup-
porting piece of territory acquired
since the Spanish war. He outlined
the difference between Cuba, Guam
Porto Rico and the Philippines and
Hawaii, which had annually turned
over to the United States treasury
over a million dollars year. Hawaii
did not object to this, but the money
collected on the mainland was spent
there, while Che money collected here
was spent elsewhere. The circulating
medium here amounted to about five to
seven millions year. What would
happen elsewhere if one-fifth of the
circulating medium was sent away?
This was a serious matter and one
which the Territory would like to have
solved.
The refund bill had tended to solve
this question The Senate and the ma
iority Of the House favored it, but Joe
Cannon had put his foot down on it.
To remedy the situation the speaker
suggested that appropriations could be
made for exclusively Federal purposes,
such as forts, harbors, buildings, etc,
but this would not counteract the
drain on the Territory's circulating
medium. 1t seemed that Federal APP
preparations could be made for health
preserving purposes. Hawaii was the
buffer between the Orient and the
mainland. Here was the quarantine
which tried to protect the mainland.
In spite of the vigilance of the quar-
antine officials, the plague germs were
here. Every time there was plague
scare Honolulu was quarantined, not
only to protect Hawaii but to protect
the mainland, and the merchants paid
Tor fund to fight these menaces to
the public health The United States

ing Federal money for health improve
