I will not say that the issue should be foreclosed and that for all time to come we will not admit Hawaii. I do not say that in many sections of our United States our people are superior to the Hawaiians. God knows we have faced the problem of nonassimilation of races since the very beginning of this Republic. but it has been a timehonored principle of both parties. written into the immigration laws of our country. that we must not admit people faster than we can atsimilate them. Of course. while the Hawaiians are citizens of the United States and as such are entitled to all the rights of citizenship. when you admit them to the status of statehood you will thereby give the people of Hawaii. the 500.000 people. the power to alter the whole structure of our American Government. How can ary man argue that when you admit Hawaii. you will not admit Alaska?
