If the Senator will allow me a suggestion. I wish to direct his attention to the fact that the Hawaiian Islands contain only a population of about 140.000. a large number of whom are contract laborers. who are expected to return to Asia as soon as their contracts are out. and it is a very anomalous and certainly an extraordinary proceeding on the part of the Senate. if it shall see fit to do so. to provide a district court. with the right of appeal to the court of appeals on the Pacifi@ slope. for that small and sparsely populated regionthat we should provide this kind of judicial machinery for the Hawaiian Islands and then take Puerto Rico. which has a population of eight or nine hundred thousand and a larger commerce than the Hawaiian Islands now have or can have if the same opportunities are given for ts development. and make there a different arrangement. I would ask the Senator to explain just why this is proposed to be done.
