Greeted by delegation represent
ing practically every branch of the
territorial and federal governments,
former Attorney General George
Woodward Wickersham, world-re-
nowned ''trust-buster" and perhaps
the most distinguished member of
ex-President Taft's cabinet, was made
welcome to Honolulu when the Pa
citic Mall liner Korea docked at a
little before 10 o'clock this morning.
In the Wickersham party, besides
Mr., and Mrs. Wickersham, are Miss
Frances Noyes, daughter Of President
Frank Brett Noyes of the Associated
Press; Miss Martha Bowers, daughter
of the late solicitor-general; Lloyd
w. Bowers and Mr.. Frederick p.
Moore, a wealthy young New York
businessman. After an informal re-
ception in the saloon of the Korea,
the party was taken In an auto to the
Moana hotel, where plans will be laid
for the days entertainment of Homo
lulu's> distinguished visitors.
In an Interview with a representa-
tive of the Star Bulletin, Mr.. Wicker
sham discussed frankly the future OF
the Republican party, the probable
program Of trust legislation under the
Wilson administration, and the policy
Of the Republican party In regard to
the Chinese loan from which Presi-
dent Wilson has recently taken occa-
sion to diner.
The Republican party. is an old and
established institution, Mr.. Wicker
sham said, @and although the present
day movement towards greater and,
] might almost say, a more radical,
democracy may change in some way
the party platform. The party itself
and the old party principles are things
which will endure. The movement
such as fostered by Mr.. Roosevelt, is,

left Washington too early to really
see how things are going under the
new administration, as / lost no time
in getting out Immediately after the
inauguration.
MeReynolds in Sympathy.
AS for my successor in Office. Mr..
McRey nolds. have every confidence
in the world in him and l understand
from conversation with him that the
prosecution against monopoly under
the Sherman Antitrust Law will go
on now in very much the same way as
before Mr.. McReynolds has done
some very good work for me at times
in the past and ! am convinced that
he is heartily In accord with the poll
cies that endeavored to perpetuate."
Favors Recognition Of China.
In explaining the position of the
Republican party in regard to the
mooted Chinese loan, Mr.. Wicker
sham stated that it was thought
necessary for the. government to use
it's influence in order that the one
sixth Of the loan apportioned could
be taken up by American financiers.
Some form Of guaranty was necessary,
ne pointed out, that the money loaned
to China would be used for the pur-
poses specified Mr.. Wickersham de-
clared that he was not aware of
President Wilson's having altered the
stand of the government in this mat
ter. 'As a matter of fact" he said.
II see no reason now why the United
States should not recognize the
Chinese Republic nor co see any
