I desire only to mention further in that connection that the situation in the Hawaiian Islands is especially in point. Over there. in a population of some 350.000 in the nine inhabited islands. there are some 60.000 Filipinos at the present time. about 145.000 Japanese. and 40.000 Chinese. More than 70 per cent of the entire population there is Asiatic. It means a terrific problem that we have to solve in the comparatively near future. I do not see any reason in the world why we should not treat the Filipinos. who are so anxious to get out from under the yoke of the United States. precisely in the same manner that we treat other Asiatics.
