Pearl Harbor, the Base.
The President has shown sound judg-
nrent III deciding to make our strong
point of defense on the Pacific at Pearl
Harbor, says the Army and Navy
Journal. 1t is not wise to spread con-
gressional driblets over too large an
extent of territory. If, in the event
of war, a foreigner should attempt to
take possession of the Philippines he
would only weaken his forces by divi-
sion, and he could not hold that terri
tory if the result of the war were
against him. and he could get it any
how if he wanted it and were success
full. We should have strong garrison
in Hawaii, and every effort should be
made to convert it into an impregna-
BILE position at the earliest possible
date. No happier fate could attend our
soldiers ordered on duty beyond the
| United States than to be assigned to
the Territory of Hawaii in preference
to the Philippines, and there is no posi-
tion more essential to the defense OF
our Pacific coast than Honolulu.
