World 2 00 TUESDAY - JANUARY 11, 1S0S 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. KSTKAY NOTIOK.
