Chairman. I attempted a while ago to get the gentleman from Illinois to yield to me for a question following his discussion of the composition of the population in Hawaii. He stated there were less than 100.000 Caucasians or AngloSaxons there and over 400.000 Asiatics. May I remind the gentleman from Illinois that he has heard. as we all have. that Asiatics are the greatest worshipers of their ancestors of any race in the world. If that is true. and I think we will all concede it is true. is it not very likely that these 400.000 citizens of Hawaii of mixed blood would. in case of controversy between our country and their native countries. side against their own United States? I think that is a historic fact that should be considered by every Member of this Congress and by the people of the United States. that we are taking into statehood as citizens 400.000 people who might easily turn against us.
