might wish for further light on any

tons they wished 70 the speaker. This
invitation was accepted by Justice

Major. I was extremely interested
in what you said. although It was too
little. I thOught--allOw me 10 say so?
Concerning Oahu. this island, being the
main object. because that has often
caused me no little anxiety in think
ing what could be done by the enemy
on the other islands, possibly you
would be kind enough TO say a little
more on that subject OF what use
could the enemy find a position on any
OF the other islands, for the long range
artillery
i would say that I do not knew very
much about the other islands" answer
ed Major Ham. Ny main reliance
upon this statement is from a study
that has been made OF this as a stra7
tegic position by the Army and Navy
War College. by combined effort of
Army and Navy officers. From my
general knowledge only I would say.
however. that il is extremely doubtful
whether any enemy-suppOse We put
ourselves on his side and in possession
of these islands Now We. the United
States. knew that there was a strong,
powerful naval station here, that is
such q station as we didn't think we
could take. I doubt if we would con-

be carrying out consistently. and that
Is TO keep your force combined and do
not scatter II about. I believe that all
Of our effort that is TO be made should
be concentrated at some point, and de-
terTnine TO hold that point. Holding
that point as a base in these islands
viii give US q point from which we
can operate against any assault that
an enemy might be making on the
other side. and you see what q much

against him then: he would have TO

his base, his line Of operations, would
be very long 70 operate against these
islands as compared 10 line OF opera
tons from our base here to any one Of
the other islands"
The main object Of his effectirg a
landing on the other Islands then would
be to attack Oahu from them?" asked
Judge HartweI
Yes. That would still leave them
at a disadvantage. Of course he might
90 that; at the same time ii would be
easier II is impossible for US to pre-
vent his landing on the entire Terri
tory; that is quite impossible; if we
had our whole army here and ne had
control OF the sea he could land some
where Now supposing that we had
defense at Hilo or some other port,
possible landing port in these islands,
that would necessarily be weakening
the defense Of this point: so let him
have that point;-he is able to get a
point somewhere anyhow IL he has con-
troll Of the sea.-and concentrate our
selves either for defense, or, II We are
strong enough. use this as a base to
operate against him. That is the way
il looks 70 me"
"Fortifying the group would simply
be weakness?" continued the ques-

at would necessarily weaken the
strongest point answered Major Ham
IN conclusion, because we shall make
as large a defense here as we can any
how; We would get no more defense in
the whole Territory than we would get
al this one point. and il would be ad-
yisabIe think to concentrate all our
efforts at one point"
