The Hawaiian Problem
Bu lanes T. Williams, Jr.

of Korean descent, $4,000 Of
Philippine descent, and $4,000
of Asiatic-H Hawaiian descent.
The primary purpose in the
annexation of Hawaii to the
United States was to make it
an outpost in the Pacific for
the defense of the United States.
The reasons were for the most
part military. Prior to the pas
sage of the joint resolution Of
July 7, 1898, providing for an
nexation, two appropriations
had been passed by Congress
for the improvement Of Pearl
Harbor. Today the Army and
Navy establishments are the
greatest investments in Hawaii.
Yet Hawaii today, annexed
for the purpose of becoming
the outpost of American defense
in the Pacific, is Asiatic in the
antecedents of large part of
its population. The people Of
Hawaii are not to be blamed
for this but facts are facts and
the United States cannot afford
to remain blind indefinitely to
these facts.
Hawaii ought not to be
longer forgotten by the Con-
gress of the United States
which, under the Constitution,
is responsible for the defense
of the United States.
REORGANIZATION
The time has come when the
Congress ought to recognize the
fact that the annexation of
Hawaii was primarily for pur-
poses of defense. Every en-
couragement to develop should
be given to the people Of Hawaii
in the enactment of future legis-
lation for their government.
But Congress ought to abandon
once and for all the idea that
the population of Hawaii should
be less American than the popu-
lation of Continental United
States.
Reorganization Of the govern
ment of Hawaii in the light Of
these facts is the only legisla-
ton which will remedy condi-
tions in that Territory and give
to it's government authority
commensurate with its response
bility.
Statehood is not the solution
of the Hawaiian problem, as
Congress we'll knows.

Among the many bills intro
duced into both houses at the
beginning of the present session
of Congress which will not
emerge from committee is one
providing for the admission of
the Territory of Hawaii as
State of the Union.
Reorganization of the Govern
ment of Hawaii is an immediate
essity. But the present
Congress shows no disposition to
meet the challenge created by
existing conditions in the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Thirty-five years ago this week
President Mckinley Apr owed
"An act to provide a govern
ment for the Territory of Ha-
wall"
This made Hawaii a Territory,
following very much the form of
the later territorial governments
which had been established for
those territories of the United
States inhabited in great part
by people homogeneous with the
people of the older States of the
Union.
PROTECTED MARKET
This meant that in so far as
the people of Hawaii were con-
cerned the Government of the
United States would postpone
further changes in the organic
law of this territory until the
time came to admit Hawaii as
a State of the Union. No provi-
sion was made giving an execu-
tive department of the United
States the responsibility of over
looking the affairs of Hawaii
and of reporting to Congress
the direction and results of its
development under the Ameri-
can flag.
In the various tariff bills en-
acted since that time heavy
duties have protected the Ameri-
can market against competition
with the chief products If
Hawaii. AS result Hawaii has
become an exceedingly wealthy
group of islands.
Many changes in the popula-
ton of tie Territory of Hawaii
have taken place since that
time. According to the 1880
census the distribution of the
population of this territory
shows the racial descent of it's
inhabitants. Out of a total
population of 375,O00 more than
$4,000 are of japanese descent,
$1,000 of Chinese descent, 5000

DUE TO WAR
The Pope's remarks came
early in April in the course OF
his address against war to a
consistory of cardinals. They
were incorporated in one OF the
strongest utteranceS ever W
come from the throne Of st.
Peter.
It is interesting to consider
the men and to consider their
remarks in the light Of a more
recent statement by the skiltul
Eduard Benes, foreign minister
of Czechoslovakia. DR.. Benes
holds that the long continued
crisis in Europe is the result OF
a psychological and moral
breakdown of its peoples due to
the war. He says:
Europeans have been thrown
back several centuries, and this
cultural collapse is behind the
material crisis. The way to re-
covery must be sought through
culture and moral progress"

young Germans was war.

Today one is the man Of
peace preaching Christ; the
other is the man Of war,
preaching the worship of Odin,
the pagan god of battle.
The influence of Won Luden-
dorff and the effects Of his
teachings are problematical.
From 1919 until the present he
had been regarded as an en-
FILTERED eccentric. He was one
of the first Nazis, an associate
of the young Austrian, Hitler,
in the abortive beer revolu"
ton" in Munich in 1928. He
was arrested with Hitler and
went free, whereas Hitler was
sent to prison. Then he
dropped the sword for the pen,
ever attacking the republic, his
old associate Won Hindenburg,
and the clark powers, the
Jesuits, Jews and FreemaSons."
It was his second wife, DR..
Mathilde Won Chemnitz, whom
he married in 1926 after his
divorce, who converted him to
the theory that the Christian
and Jewish religions were the
forces which defeated Germany
in the World War and which
ever prevent it from being the
master of Europe, if not the
world. While Won Hindenburg
lived, Won Ludendorff was
something of a laughingstock
in his persistent claims that
he, not Won Hindenburg, had
been the real genius at Tan.

front.
NEW HERO
The death Of Won linden
burg and the rearming Of Ger.
many have changed his status
overnight. Note how Hitler in
his birthday order acclaims
him as Germany's greatest
field commander Of the World
War;" The crown prince visits
him, and the kaiser, who al
most broke him by peremptorily
dismissing him in tober,
1918, sends fluctuations from
Doom.
Of course, the whole thing
was staged carefully. The
Nazis wanted a new national
hero to exemplify the glory Of
military service. But they did
not expect the fervor with
which a considerable section
of the people accepted Luden-
dorff.
With the old grandeur Of
1917 restored, the Quarter
master General now not only
stands for the German army
but also for the new theology,
that Of paganism, which Hit
ler's close friend, DR.. Rosen-
berg, with some degree Of sue

try. Yes, Ludendorff's return

memoration of his life and work,

But the famous naturalist himself

discovered only recently by Prof. Fran

Drop Fight for High
Level Span.

Abandoning fight waged since
1924 for a new high-level bridge to
replace the present Chain Bridge, the
Conduit Road Citizens Association last
night approved new plan calling for
an appropriation of s350.000 to con-
struct new Super-Structure on the
present piers.
The District Commissioners, it was
reported by DR.. LleWellyn Jordon of
the Takoma Citizens Association, are
ready to favor this plan and are ex-
pected to ask for the appropriation in
the next District budget estimates.
Under this plan, DR.. Jordan told
the group, a new Super-structure can
be built at a slightly higher level of
the present piers. The appropriation
would also insure construction of an
adequate approach from Canal road
Cantilever sidewalks would be built on
the new structure, which would be
wider than the present one.
DIR. Jordan Cites Opposition.
DR.. Jordan advised the association
against further inSistence for high
level bridge. because of the apparent
opposition on Capitol Fill against the
project. He also said the Maryland
State Road Commission is not inter-
ested in the project and that the Vir-
ginia State Highway Department has
announced it would not aid in f1nanc-
ing a new high-level bridge. Jordan
asserted. however. the latter group will
