In the plan for military and naval
preparation the congressional party
realize that Oahu is the key to the
defense of the Pacific; that the time
is soon coming when the Pacific is the
front door of the United States. In
the plan of the delegate from Hawaii
the thought is brought out that now
is the time to bring up to efficiency
the military and naval strongaolds OF
Hawaii-at the time when billions are
being spent for war purposes.
Members of the congressional party
will have an opportunity to study the
road situation on Oahu from military
standpoint. The plan as outlined by
the delegate brings out the fact that a
military road around the island would
double the strength OF the army in
Hawaii. u.s.
Secretary Daniels has made estf
mates on submarine base and fuel
oil station at Pearl Harbor. Accord
ing to the estimate. the submarine
base would cost $2,500,000. The oil
station would naturally bring another

With plans for, bigger and better
guns, together with more barracks
for Oahu, congress would be follow

the first appropriations for national

pected that a tax will be placed on
tea and coffee. Delegate Kuhio will
not oppose floor tax on the Ha-

over the imported coffee from Brazil
will be about one to two cents on

the launch moving slightly to come
