Hilo soscos coli ANN NEE FE acc cccc ccc oodoss tI fee: VALUE OF HAWAII Reasons for the Early Annexation of the Islands.” FROM A MILITARY POINT OF VIEW Gen. Schofield Questioned by Members of Committee. STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE a When Gen. Schofield and Adimiral Wal- ker appeared before the House committee cn foreign affairs last Tuesday in connec- tion with the question of Hawaiian an- nexation, The Star published a summary of their testimony. Since then the sten- ographers’ notes of the hearing have been transcribed and printed by order of the committee. In the course of the hearing the follow- ing interesting colloquy occurred between Gen. Schofield and Mr. Williams of Missis- sippi, and Mr. Clark of Missouri, who op- pose annexation. Possession of Ha: lie Mr. Williams: Suppose we owned Pearl harbor and fortified it, with the right of scvereignty over the harbor—and suthcient strrounding land to protect the fortifica~ tions of the harbor, which I understand we do have. Now, how could any foreign power land at the main island of Hawaii or zny of the Hawaiian Islands and threaten our possession of the harbor? Where would they land? Gen. Schofield: They could land troops anywhere at Honolulu harbor, especiaily if the population were friendly to them. Sup- pese the Japanese, for instance, succeeded in getting that for which they are work- ing so hard*now, the political possession of the islands and physical possession, be- cause all the emigrants from Japan there are soldiers, in a very few years Japan can get physical and political control of the isiends-- Mr. Williams: But my supposition was, if we had announced to the world our gua arty of the independence of the islands Gen. Schofield: We canrot do that— Mr. Williams (continuing): And our firm determination to maintain that. If that announcement were made, do you, as a military man, think that the Japanese em- pire would undertake to defy that an- ncuncement and make an attack upon those islands? Gen. Schofield: I do not doubt it for a moment. ‘They would first populate the istand with Japanese and get control of the government. They would have two or three hundred thousand Japanese there thcroughly loyal to Japan—as much so as Americans are to the United States. What gecd would our guaranty of independence be against such a population? Mr. Williams: You do not understand me. They might have the local government of Japanese people; I grant that— Gen. Schofield: Suppose those people there, in accordance with the doctrines of the American government, were to organ- ize a government and ask admission into the Japunese empire. Could we resist it? Mr. Williams: If we announced for mili- tery ana naval reasons that we would gvarantee the independence of these people, we would resist it today. Gen. Schofield: Our announcement would be laughed at by the governments of the world, because we have not done the things necessary to maintain that guaranty. Mr. Williams: I am taking it for granted we would guarantee it against the Japan- ese; I think we would be adequate to the task. Let us take the present position as it is today. The Japanese can now, to- gether with other Asiatic races, gain com- plete control of those islands, cannot they? Wrat prevents them from doing so, except sition of the United States? . Schofield: ‘That is true, but the num- nee are comparatively small. Japanese Immigration, Mr. Williams: What will continue to pre- vent it? Gen. Schofield: Because they would send in several hundred thousand increased pop- uljation. Once in there, they will be able to overthrow the government unless we do what would be equivalent to annexation, send an army to occupy it. Mr. Williams: Your position, I take it, 1s this: The danger we are to look forward to and the danger arising in the islands them- selves from the emphasizing of the pres- ent character of population, an increase of Japanese population by immigration estab- lishing a loeal government of Japanese sympathies and race which would be natur- ally Inciined toward the mother country; that is the danger. Gen. Schofield: That is one danger. Mr. Wiiliams: Not the danger of an at- tack from a foreign government so much? Gen. Schofield: I think that is the great- est visible danger now. I do not think the nations of Durope would probably permit that. They might say to us, or ought to say to us, “If you do not take the Sand- wich Islands and hold them, let us do it; we will not consent that Japan shall popu- late that. country.” Mr. Williams: Have we not already* an-’ nounced to the world by the declarations of our Presidents, our Secretaries of State, the letters of our ministers, and in every way that can be done except by joint reso- lution of Congress, that we would regard it as an act of hostility if any foreign nation should take or hold possession of the Ha- waiian Islands? Gen. Schofield: Yes, we have done that. Mr. Williams: Have we not on two or three separate occasions announced that fact to people about to take possession of them, and have not they all halted? Gen. Schofield: Yes. Mr. Williams: Why will not they continue to halt es we grow stronger both in popu- fation and as a naval and military power? Gen. Schofield: We have also announced that Cuba i# and of right should be free, yet we have to send an army and navy to enforce it. So it will be with the islands unless we send our army and navy against them. Gen. Schofield: But I think, myself, while the moral power of the United States has been heretofore, and will be, very great, the power of its navy and its fortifications and its army will be infinitely greater, and I do not believe there is any absolute se- curity to the interests of the United States anywhere in the world except the army and the navy; and the moral influence has resulted from the fact that we have had that potentially although not actually in existence. I think the time has come when we must have that pewer and take our place among the nations of the earth, and we have got to control the Sandwich Isl- ands, and if we do not— Strategic Value. Mr. Newlands: You have spoken of the importance of our holding these islands with a view of preventing any other na- tion from taking them and making them a point of attack upon our Pacific coast. Let me ask you whether there would be any disadvantages to our country arising from the Sandwich Islands being absolutely neutral in any war? General Schofield: Oh, unquestionably; we would lose all the privileges we are enjoy- ing now, the right to use them as a hos- pitable harbor for our own purposes. If they were to become absolutely neutral we would not be at liberty to coai or get sup- ples there. The advantage today of the filendly attitude instead of a neutral atti- tude existing in the Sandwich Islands is going to be very great to us. Mr. Clark: How does it happen that we have gotten along for a hundred and nine years now without the Sandwich Islands for strategic purposes and ali of a sudden they are of vast importance? General Schofield: We have gotten into a foreign war. Mr. Clark: We have been in foreign wars before? sheteie! Schofield: Not to amount to any- ing. Mr. Clark: We have been'in two poveign wars, with Great Britain and Mexico? Mr. Williams: And almost with France. General Schofield; We did not need any- thing of this kind then. The world has ad. ad- vanced a hundred years in that time, and in Tenia improvements it has advanced @' thousal “ar Clark: ‘That is very p General Schoftela: We cannot fight any- | ly in je way we fought it Brital: or Mexico, Mex vos = set Newlands: Do you think = greater =| also recom A: “Huge Building Full of Choice Furniture, Carpets, Draperies, Crockery, : flattings, Housefurnishings.
