At some future time almost any nation anywhere might logically urge upon the United States the same new rules that are now urged for Hawaii. These are not remote and speculative contingencies. Hawaii was quite literally scared into seeking annexation to the United States by Spanish pressure in 1898. Since then. international pressures have grown more ominous. Once new standards of degree were established. many an Asiatic nation might offer a consistent plea: If it were sound to take in Hawaii. 2.500 miles away. then why not Guam. some 5.000 miles away? If it is sound public policy to admit Hawaii. with a Japanese population of 37 percent. then why not Japan itself. with a Japanese population of 100 percent? May I point out.
