THE IMPORTANCE OF HAWAII.
President McKinlcy wisely makes
Hawaii the keystone of the arch of
his foreign policy. With Hawaii,
says the Inter Ocean, we are strong
enough to justify our home execu
tives am? our ministers abroad in the
use of the plainest words of the dip
lomatic lexicon. "Without it wc arc
at a disadvantage, aid the times be
fore us are likelv to be such as will
make the use of every advantage
necessary. The Chinese situation is
perplexing, if not minatory. If we
have Hawaii we are far on our way
toward peaceful conquest of the
great trade of China and Japan.
Without Hawaii half the proper
strength of our protests against Eu
ropean monopoly of Asiatic ports
and harbors will be lost.
We must extend our foreign trade,
and trade goes in ships, and ships re
quire coaling stations and harbors cf
refuge, and the greatest merchant
navy always has belonged to the na
tion strongest in means for its de
fense against the chances of war and
the clangers of the sea. In war or in
peace Hawaii is the citadel of the
Pacific. Its chief harbor is a refuge
from storms, and, by oue great power
or by another, soon will be held
as a rendezvous for armed ves
sels. There was a time, and not
very long ago, when it seemed as
though our home market were likely
to be sufficient to our home pro
ductions, but it is not now, and
yearly it will become less so. We
now are the second manufacturing
power of the world, and arc racing
hard for first place. We must have
new or larger markets for our goods.
Our chief rivals are Germany, which
we lead, and Britain, toward suprem
acy over which we aspire. Britain
has kept her lead by increasing act
ivity in ship-building, by constant
acquisition of ports and harbors in
all parts of the globe.
Germany has adopted Britain's
policy. In 187o the merchant ma
Tine of Germany had a carrying
power of 1,0-20,000 tons; in 1895 its
capacity was -1,1-10,000 tons. No
other nation, except Britain, has
made such progress during the last
twenty years. The carrying power
of the German merchant navy is
now one-seventh that of Great Brit
ain, and one-third that of the United
States. But it must be remembered
that the United States merchant navy
is largely, indeed mostly, alloat on
the lakes or engaged in sea trade on
our coast. Of ocean-crossing ships
wc have not so many as Germany.
Samoa has been, and China now is,
exploited by Germany for naval
shelters that shall be nurseries of
commerce in time of peace and cen
ters of operation in time of war.
Hawaii would have been annexed
by England, Germany or Japan, long
ago but for United States protests;
but we cannot forever play fast and
loose with it. Wc must take it our
selves or let some other power hold
it, for it cannot much longer sustain
itself. It is al! very well to talk of
our guaranteeing its independence.
But it might be more costly, both in
money and life, to protect it than to
annex it. Moreover, suppose that,
in the event of our rejecting the
offer, the Hawaiians were of their
own motion to place themselves un
der European protection ; how then
could the Monroe doctrine be ap
plied ? Wo may be bound to protect
Hawaii against foreign intervention;
but surely wc cannot forbid the free
action of n nation.
The Hawaiian question presses. It
ought to be settled quickly, and by
annexation.
The Oregonian is now praising
James Lotan because he has with
drawn fiom the Mitchell Hepublican
central committee. And this Is the
same Jim Lotan whom the Orego
nian had exhausted its vocabulary
in abusing, principally because ho
was an opponent of Joseph Siniun.
Lotan is not the proper man to be at
the head of the party's councils, but
neither is Simon, and when the Ore
gonian praises Lotan when, through
some reason or other, probably due
to business causes, he has withdrawn
from active participation in politics;
when the Oregonian thus commends
him, it only shows how prejudiced,
servile and untrustworthy that paper
is in dealiug with state or local poli
tics. As a newspaper the Oregonian
deserves high standing; but as a
guide for the people of Oregon to
follow, it should not be trusted.
The year 1898 is a critical one for
The Dalles. The abundant capital
which is crowding the financial cen
ters will seek investment somewhere,
and the Pacific coast will be a favor
ite locition. The Dalles offers
splendid inducements to capitalists
were our advantages properly made
known. La Grande, Pendleton,
Salem and Oregon City have all re
ceived substantial recognition from
outsiders, while The Dalles, with
more natural attractions than any of
these places, has been doing business
on its own resources. How well wc
have succeeded is to our credit; but
could outside capital be invested
here in some manufacturing enter
prise, the prcgress of this city would
be more rapid and certain.
