held before him while in the islands.
The transcript did not reach the In
terror Department until December 10.
The Secretary was then up to his
neck in other matters.
In the meantime, Secretary Fisher
has collected a great mass of data
relating to Hawaiian industries and
facts bearing on conditions there.
These will be utilized in preparing his
recommendations.
The conclusions of Secretary Fisher
will be submitted to President Taft

the contents will be transmitted to
Congress by the President, with some
views and recommendations of his
own accompanying them.
