Just who are the people we hear talked about? Let me say that the native Hawaiians constitute only 6 percent of the whole population of 380.000 people. There are 5 percent of Caucasian Hawaiians. 4 percent of Asiatic Hawaiians. 7 percent Chinese. 9 percent Portuguese. 20 percent Filipinos. and 38 percent Japanese. Are these Asiatics and continentals and orientals the people you are talking about that you want to rule these islands? I wish I could dispel for a moment the idea of distance that seems to exist in the minds of Members of this House. Forget for a moment. if you please. the 2.100 miles between the Pacific coast and the Hawaiian Islands. and think of them as only a few miles awayand they are really a part of this great country of ours.
