To these people. and also to the preservation of the native population against a speedy destruction. involving property and life. we owe the duty of rescuing them from the silent but rapid invasion of the pagan races from Asia. This invasion is concerted. and is far more dangerous to Hawaii than if it came on ships of war with the avowed purpose of subjugating the Hawaiian Islands. It is the stealthy approach of a "destruction that wasteth at noonday." The -immigrants from Japan retain their allegiance to that Empire. and yet they claim full political rights in Hawaii notwithstanding their alienage. In this demand they have the undisguised encouragement of the Japanese Government. These privileges are demanded as rights.
