Twill be made to accomplish By the
powers that be, that then and In that
case shall accept the offer to 60 &c
Endaii.
Yours truly,
SAMUEL !. JOHNSON"
Territorial Officials Invoived7
The following facts have come to
my knowledge:
4 /. That the said Whitener report OF
November IL, 1915. was taken by a
territorial employee from territorial
government Office to the Hawaiian
Gazette Company on November II.
1915, and there printed.
2. ! have q copy of such printed
report which was received by me
shortly after my, recent return to Ho-
nOlulu.
3. That the bill for the printing Of
said report was rendered to the terri.
torial government and reached the au-
ditor's Office.
a. That Governor Pinkham sent the
superintendent of public works,
Charles r. Forbes, as his personal rep
resentative TO washington. d. c., said
governor making it known through
the press at the time that one of the
principal reasons for Mr. Forbes be-
ing sent to Washington was. In regard
to National Guard affairs.
s. Ny information 10 that said
Charles r. Forbes as such representa-
tive Of the governor took with him to
Washington, D, c., large number Of
the printed copies Of the Whltener re-
port Of Nov. n, 1915, for distribution
TO members Of Congress.
6. That while In Washington, and
ever after, the said Charles r. Forbes
omitted to give to the delegate from
Hawaii or to said delegates secre-
tary copy of said report
Z. That among those at Washing
ton. ID. c.. furnished with said report
was Senator James l.. Coke of the
Territory of Hawaii:
s. When questioned as to why the.
delegate or his secretary had not been
supplied with copies of said report.
said Charles r. Forbes stated that
he had left large number OF copies
on the desk of the secretary to the
delegate.
In view of the foregoing it is rath-
er interesting to note the attitude
taken by Governor Pinkham that he
had nothing to do with and did not
authorize the printing of the report.
Is 1t not pertinent to inquire, and is
not the public entitled to know and
should not Governor Pinkham compel
his officials to fully diyulge to the
public their connection with said re-
port? Is not the public entitled to an
explanation of the matter contained in
the Johnson letter which implicitly
points to the governor?
Respectfully,
j. X. kALANIANAOLE,
Delegate from Hawaii
