HINES, Culef of Staff, United States Army: Located in a central Pacific position of immense stategic value, the excellent harbor facilities of Oahu make that ls- land a natural port of call for transpa- cific traffic. When our fleet salls from California to initiate this year's joint maneuvers, it will be passing along a main-traveled trade route. The Hawai- ian Islands are appropriately said to be at the crossroads of the Paclfic, for the vast majority of transoceanic steam- ship lines Include Honolulu as a port of call. Some of the liners passing through British boats en route from Van- r, British Columbia, to Australla; | some are Japanese liners, plying between Panama and San Francisco, and Japan and China; others are American boats making Manila and the Orient from the West coast, and Mexican Gul and At- lantic ports via the Panama Canal. Other lines terminate thelr runs at Hon- olulu and carry freight from those | lands to the varlous ports of the Unit States. In all, the 1y traffie awer- oges about a thousand vessels and b tween six and seven million gross tons The convenient miGocean position of. the Hawaifan Islands, the fact that they Wnake such an attractive stop-over place for tourists, and the lack of any rival localities offering similar facilities, all tend to bend transpacific trade lines through the entrance of Honolulu harbor.

Islands Agricultural. Generally speaking, the Hawalian Is- lands are agricultural, and may be said to be self-supporting, although the chief emphasis {s placed on sugar cane and pineapples. Lack of diversified farm- ing methods, however, causes: the im- portation of several articles of food- stufts, and considerable quantities -of Oriental foodstuffs are imported for the Oriental population. However, the local products are suffi- clently varied to insure the maintenance of the residentlal population If the is- lands should be cut off from communi- cation with the mainland, even over an extended period of time, In other words, in the maneuvers or in war our Hawalian outpost need have no fear of being starved out. The defense of Oahu becomes solely a question of eoldiers nd munitions. Cltizsens As Soldiers. Under modern conditions no nation expects to depend solely upon its profgssional peace-time soldlers for a decisive war-time effort. Standing armies are not kept large enough for that. It would be too expensive to keep them that large. So they are kept only just large enough to pro- vide a workable and highly trained nucleus, which may be expanded by rapid a .’nll.nlnn of the citizen in- crements-called to the colors in time of danger. This Is the theory of national defense in vogue in the United States today, a regular Army to be reinforced in the hour of emer- gency by Natignal Guard and reserve In Established in 1900 UESDAY. APRIL 7, 1925. units—all fllled to strength and hard- ened for active campalgn. This s the theory of defense upon which we must rely to some extent, even in our insular possessions and in the Territory of Hawall. The regu- lar troops now in the Hawsiian Is- lands will bear the main burden of meneuvers. In the event of war {t might not be possible to reinforce this garrison from the mainland. It| might be necessary to fall back upon | the principle that the ““people furnisa their own defense”—even on isolated islands. Accordingly, in the maneuvers all available civilian elements will par ticipate, About 1,600 national guardsmen, about 300 reservists and about 2,000 youths in cadet corps.represent the trained nucleus of the citizen man- power. Tralning periods of some of these units are being adjusted this year so that guardsmgn and reserv- ists can be called to active duty during the maneuvers. They will participate In the defense of Oahu in the assumed fight just as they would if there were a real war. In both cases the professional regulars will be supplemented by the citizen manpower. Findings To Be Vital Of course, it is not possible to say that the entire insular population could be transformed into soldiers. They Include the children and the grandfathers, as well as the able- hodied young and middle aged. A list of citizens would even include the women, not ordinarily understood as capable of bearing arms, Moll Pitcher and Joan of Arc to the con- trary notwithstanding. Yet an in- crease in the military and naval forces on the islands may be essen- tial in war.
