THE AMERICAN EMPIRE
Selected

kIOT long ago President Harding re-
u ceived an invitation to visit Homo
lulu. What made the invitation un
usual was the statement in it that Hawaii
is the geographical centre of the United
States-an assertion certainly contrary to
all our preconceived notions. Neverthe
less if you will draw a line on the map
from the eastern boundary of Maine to the
westernmost point of the Philippine Islands
you will find that Honolulu is much nearer
the middle of it than any other American
city.
The Hawaiian Islands, settled like
fight of migrating birds on the broad sur
face of the Pacific have other things than
the accident of geographical position to
make them real centre of our vast coun-
try. They were first settled by sturdy
New England stock, the early missionaries,
who carried with them sane and sound
American traditions. Later settlers from
all parts of the United States went to the
islands, and the American civilization of
Hawaii became a composite of East, West,
South and Middle West. In small but
intense way the islands are also part of
the great American melting pot and, if
there has not been so complete fusion of
different races there as elsewhere, the rea-
son is that the races represented are so
radically different that interinarflage is
uncommon and that the minds of some,
closed to new ideas through centuries of a
very alien tradition, are slow to adopt
American standards. That the dominant
American race is able slowly, tactfully and
surely to overcome the handicaps of ira
dtion, of religion and of language proves
that the stock is vigorous and that its hold
on American ideals is firm.
The Hawaiian Islands are what they
are because of America. In an unusually
complete sense we have made them. The
first Americans to wander so far into the
Pacifc-not traders, fortunately, but mis-
sionarics-found the people completely un-
l.
had somehow reached Hawaii in open
canoes across endless miles of ocean thou
sand years before, readily adopted some
of the habits and customs of the new
corners. They put on trousers or coats,-
seldom both at once,-learned to read and
to write and became Christians. But they
never quite gave up their belief in the adj
vantage of sorcery over medicine; and
they proved to be physically unable to re-
sst the diseases of civilization; measles
were destroying scourge. Rum that the
traders brought was as deadly as the mea-
ses. A lovable people, honest for the
most part, good-looking, sweet-tempered
and indolent, the Hawaiian race is in its
decline, and its gradual disappearance is
one of the small but none the less pathetic
incidents of advancing civilization. But
the decline was as inevitable as it was
sad. The Hawaiians had not the physical
or the moral strength either to stem the
tide of progress or to march with it. In
spite of the efforts of their friends to save
them, they succumbed, and the few that
remain, happy, peaceful and contented,
merely look on at the passing show. The
Americans, who were first to come on tie
ground, have taken their places as rulers
of the islands just as inevitably as the
