What Hawaii Needs.

The symposium submitted by Mr.. Gil
man was as follows:
Knowing that this year l personally
could bring nothing new to present to
this conference on the subject of Ha'
wall, though my interest and loyalty
are as great as ever, the thought came
to me to gather together the ideas of
some of the prominent men of the
Islands as to What the United States
government can best do to help Hawaii
at the present time. "
From the answers to this question
that came to me l select a few of the
most characteristic, and that they to
quite a degree repeat each other shows
that there are certain questions of i'm
portance ON which many men concur,
especially the shipping, labor and edu-
cation questions. OF these first two you
have already in other years heard much,
so that l shall cOndense largely, quoting
first from the reply of Mr.. Peter C.
Jones, for many years a resident of the
Islands, with extensive mercantile and
plantation interests, who says:
"There are several matters that
might be taken up by Congress that
would be of great benefit to this Terri
tory, but none of more Importance than
to secure an increase of American ship
ping in the Pacific, which can be ac
complished by a substantial subsidy for
vessels and steamships owned by Amer
leans
''This is a vital question, and Hawaii
is greatly concerned, as the Islands are
over 2O0O miles from the mainland, and
are entirely dependent upon vessels to
sepd freights and passengers to and
from the Islands.
Liberal concessions granted to
American ships would be of great value
to the United States in case of war, far
greater than the amount allowed in
subsidies, and would greatly increase
that branch of American industry, as
it has done in the past when Congress
has passed favorable laws for the pro-
lection of American shipping. Should
this be done we may be sure that Ha
wall would soon secure large immigra
tion of Amerie IN settlers
';)'ETER c. JONES. -
Of much the same opinion as Mr..
Jones is Mr. Albert Along, Chinese
Hawaiian, but well assimilated Ameri
can, of good business standing, who ex
presses himself thus:
"The first thing of Importance is to
pass laws to encourage some of the
Island industries which depend upon
either tariff or a better steamer ser
vice, or both, so that Americans may be
encouraged to settle on the lands of the
Territory. In this work some means of
greatly improving the transportation
facilities between Hawaii and the main
land is an absolute essential. AS the
laws and the shipping situation are
now, Hawaii is simply cut off from her

WHAT HAWAII
NEEDS FROM
CONGRESS-
Expressed by
Leading Citizens
in Letters.

"What the United States can best
do to help Hawaii at the present time, .
was answered at the recent session of
the Mohonk Conference by German D.
Gilman, who among others represented
Hawaii and presented a symposium con
tributed by a number of prominent
Honolulans Besides Mr.. Gilman, the
Hawaiian representatives at the confer
ence were Ex-Governor Carter, Judge
R. D. Silliman, D. L. Wilmington, w.
A. Bryan, w. K. Moorehead, G. B. Nc
Clellan, Professor Frank A. Hosmer,
Rev. o. P. Emerson and Rev. Titus NJ.
Coan.
AS a result of the work of the Ha-
waiian representatives, a recommends.
tion for special legislation was includ-
ed in the general conclusions arrived
at at the conference, this Hawaiian
plank being:
"Hawaii has trustfully sought
the rule and protection of the Uni
ted States. Her peculiar and most
important commercial position re-
quires of US special and earnest
consideration. We ask of Congress
particular study of those cOndi-
tions which require exceptional leg
islation in her behalf, particularly
in view of the disadvantages which
the Coastwise Shipping Act imposes
on her in restricting passenger
travel In view, also, of the peculiar
population of Hawaii, we desire
that the attention of the Commits
sion on immigration be given to
the special conditions which now
limit European immigration"

Governor Dole on Land.

Replies of special interest were re-
ceived from two of Hawaii s Governors,
embodying somewhat different points OF
view To the Honorable Sanford B.
Dole, former President of the Republic,
first Governor of the Territory, now
Judge of the United States District
Court, it appears that:
1.-THE most helpful policy to be fol-
lowed is that of letting us alone as far
as possible to manage our own local af-
fairs. This has largely been the rule
heretofore, as is shown by the provis-
ions of the Organic Act; but an extern
sion of such policy in regard to the
public lands of Hawaii seems now to
be desirable. New legislation is re-
quired in order to improve the admin
istration of these lands, especially in
relation to their settlement in small
holdings by permanent settlers. Such
legislation should be Initiated by the
Hawaiian community, and might be eff
fected either. by granting authority to
the Hawaiian Legislature therefor, or
by the enactment by Congress of bills
recommended by such Legislature. -

Governor Frear's Opinion.

The Hon. w. T. Frear, formerly Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, and the
present Governor of Hawaii, finds as
is natural many things to ask for. He
reeites at some length what has already
been done by the United States gov
eminent for Notifications, harbor i'm
provements, lighthouse service, etc, all
of which has been greatly appreciated,
and goes on to say:
Hawaii after much effort during the
past year began to share in the appro-
priations for agricultural colleges,
which amounted to $4,000 last year
and will be increased until it is soon
$4,000 a year, and the Federal gov
eminent maintains a Federal expert
ment station here at a cost which will
soon be 100000 year. The Comp
troller of the Treasury has ruled that
general appropriations for the United
States for such objects as soil and
photographic surveys are not applicable
to Hawaii. That should be changed, so
that Hawaii will be deemed to be in
cIuded in all appropriations made for
the United States generally, for she is
full-fedged Territory and integral
part of the United States More is
needed for harbors. Each island should
have at least one harbor developed. Per
haps the most important thing that Ha-
wall needs now is the opportunity to
obtain Iaborers from Europe. japanese
immigration is practically cut off, as
well as Chinese, and, moreover, there
is a widespread desire to obtain people
who viii become citizens. During the
first half Of last year 1900 Europeans
Omen, women and children) were
brought in, but the terms of the new
immigration act now prevent more from
being brought in by the Territorial
Board of immigration by means of con
tributions made to that board by cor
porations.
"Unless Congress permits the Terri,
torial Board of immigration to assist
immigration through contributions by
corporations, the needed laborers can
be brought in only by increasing the
taxes here, which are already great,
and it is possible that the Legislature
cannot be induced to do that, and espe-
cially as the majority of the members
of the Legislature are Hawaiians and
many Hawaiians are opposed to the in
PRODUCTION of Anglo-Saxons or Latins
on a large scale.

.111.yrEs MAKING FOR PEACE.

A recent speech of the British Secretary OF
State for Foreign Affairs in the House OF COM
mons contains a valuable reminder OF the great
work which diplomacy does for the peace OF
the world. The impression has seemed 10 pre-
vail at times that diplomacy is trade OF hostiie
intrieues and Of provoking and fomentng wars
and that peace is to be made or kept only py
the work of special agents, In arbltral or othef
extraordinary proceedings. Nothing could ne
further from the truth. The fact is that large
mart Of the regular work of diplomacy, whether
done at home in chancelleries or abroad IN en-
basses and legations, is performed directly and
exnressly for the avoidance of war and the
maintenance of peace through the amfcable dis
cussion and lust settlement of international
disnutes and claims. It is probable that many
times more wars have been aYerted mus thah
by special arbitration. even in the last genera
tion or two. when some Jealous advocates OF
neace have seemed to regard compulsory ar
bitration as the only alternative TO unlVersal
war.
Sir Edward GTey's reference was, however
more particularly TO the irenic results or that
rnociaI and exceptional diplomacy which is CON
cernec in the making of alliances Such phrases
as ..entangling alliances and offensive and de
fensfve alliances have long been so familiar
that many persons have probably come lnstlnc-
tively 10 think of an alliance as inevitably IN
volvinr mischievous entanglements for one or
all of the parties to it. and as contemplating
breach of the peace, or at least aggression anu
oppression against some outside power mat
ioo is a grave error as the British statesman
reminded his hearers by referring to some
specifc and pertinent examples. 1t would be
interesting to observe from review or the
record how large proportion of alliances have
been peaceful in intent and in effect. We
should expect to find such decidedly the major
part of the whole number.
The occasion of Sir Edward Grey's remarks
was the visit of the French President TO Rus
sIa following the similar visit of King Ed
ward. and the consequent discussion of Anglo
Franco Russian relations and the sentiment
attitude of Germany toward them. The fact
was emphasized by the speaker that the alli-
ance between France and Russia was peaceful
I'm its intent and was powerfully peaceful In
its influence The same of course also TO
l,a said of the understanding between Great
Pritain and each of those powers. The speaker
deftlv suggested that in former years Germany
had enioyed some diplomatic profit and prestige
from fbe mere or less menacing controversies
which had arisen between Great Britain m 4
France. and between Great Britain and Russg,
aud that really the only grievance WHICH
Germany could possibly have In the prpsGut
coniuncture was that she was deprived of the
advantage which had accrued TO her from
antagonisms among her neighbors! OF course.
il is inconceiyable that such d grievance could
he cherished by any humane and serious states
man. Since Sir Edwards speech was delivered
the King and the German Emperor have met,

KING EDWARD AND KAISER MEET
The "Tageblatt' Believes That Naval Pro
gTammes Were Discussed.

Cronberg. Aug fixing Edward arrived here at
9 o'clock this morning. and met at the station
by Emperor William and his suite. The King and
Emperor kissed each other both cheeks and
braced in the most cordial manner After the
srchs had been introduced to each others suites
the King and the Emperor entered open auto
mobue and driven to the FreidrichshOf Castle,
where they had long talk before luncheon.
Sir Charles Hardinge representing the British
Foreign Office: Baron Won Jenisch. of the German
Foreign Office. and Sir Frederick Lascelles. the
British Ambassador TO Germany also had long
conversation in the morning. The King and the
Emperor continued their private talk after
luncheon. It is affirmed. however. by both British
and German officials that actual proposals OF
any sort under consideration. The value OF the
meeting. in the political sense, II Is said. is in the
frank talking over of the European situation by
King Edward and Emperor William and the repre-
sentatives of the British and German Foreign
Offices
The 'Tageblatt' to-day says it shares the view Of
some London newspapers that King Edward and
Emperor William have discussed the question Of
naval programmes at Cronberg. The paper declares
It has learned well informed source that
such has been the case. II has been rumored that
the German government might make proposals to
Great Britain for agreement looking to the
maintenance of proportional naval strength but
the report cannot be confirmed, and IT is cred
tied in responsible quarters.
Emperor William during the day held long con-
ference with Sir Charles Hardinge
The "Tageblatt's correspondent here says that
It was agreed between the Emperor and the King
that King Edward should pay state visit to
Berlin early in 1909. accompanied by Queen Alex
andra- The correspondent also declares that the
sovereigns discussed the Turkish situation with
satisfactory results.

HOSPITAL REFORM

There is always the part of thoughtful
citizens q natural and proper reluctance TO
add 10 the number of departments OF the city
government. and for that reason the proposal
Of the Hospital Commission TO create, by
amendment of the charter. department of
public hospitals will be cautiously regarded.
We already have departments of public chari-
ties Of health and of police. all Of which are
in some degree concerned in hospital manage
ment and control 1t is not clear that the pro-
posed new department could or would do the
work more efficiently. that it could do It at
all without either conflicting with them or
taking TO itself part of their present func-
tons and it is seriously TO be considered
whether the work could not be done better
and more economically by the existing depart
Insnts Too great subdivision of authority and
~-rk among a multiplicity of departments is
not conducive TO good administration.
The proposal for new department would,
however. commend itself if il were made evi-
dent that only thus could the hospital service
of New York be raised to the highest degree
OF efficiency. or that thus that end could be
most surely and advantageously attained. For
there can be no question that we should have
here as good hospital system as it is prac
fically possible 10 have. At present We have
q large number of admirable hospitals. prob
ably more in number and capacity than any
other CITY in the world. AS a rule they are
well managed and the citys relations with
them are satisfactory. Yet there are occasional
complaints against them. some of which are
doubtless unfouRded. but some Of which ii is
10 be feared have adequate cause So far as is
humanity possible all cause for complaint of
any kind and especially of complaints relating
To- the city's public connection with the hos
pitals should be abated. We are not unmnd-
ful of the fact that many people impose upon
hospitals. and that from one point of view the
whole system of hospitals here Is imposed upon
by the fiocking hither of patients from all
parts of the land in quest of the care and
treatment which can be had here better than
elsewhere. But these conditions are inevitable
and prescribe not vain effort at avoidance
Of them. but more discriminating methods of
dealing with them.
