It is true. as my colleague states. that that proportion of the white population are Portuguese. but they are superior to the rest not of pure white blood. Fortytwo per cent of the population of the island are Mongolian. Chinese and Japanese. Are you to take into full citizenship the Chinese whom your laws exclude from coming into this country? Are you going to confer upon them the immunities and privileges and sovereignty of American citizenship. when you say that they are not good enough even to come among us upon our own territory temporarily? Nobody pretends any purpose to take the Hawaiian Islands into the Union as a State. but the purpose is simply and solely. so far as the contention goes. to acquire them for the purpose of assisting us in our military and commercial operations.
