Hawaii.) "There is little doubt that were the Hawaiian Islands. by annexation or distinct protection a part of the territory of the Union. their fortile resources for the growth of rice and sugar would not only be controlled by American capital. bat so profitable a field of labor would attract intelligent workers h"h thither from the United States. "A purely American form of colonization in such a case would meet all the phases of the problem. Within our border could be found the capital. the intelligence. the activity. and the necessary labor trained in the rice swamps and cane fields of the Southern States. And it may he well to consider how. even in the chosen alternative of maintaining Hawaiian independence. these prosperous elements could be induced to go from our shores to the islands. netlike the coolies. practically enslaved. not as human machines. buts thinking. intelligent. woirking factors in the advancement of the material inteiests of the islands." (Mr. Blamne. Secretary of State. to Mir Comly.
