Coastlines The Hawaiian islands represent the basis of all defense plans for So long as our western coast America holds Pearl Harbor at no Honolulu there is practicaUy danger of any attack on the

administration followed the precedent set at the time of the annexation of Texas and introduced the treaty as a joint resolution which needed only a majority vote in both houses of congress Ilow Hawaii Was Annexed A majority vote in the house was not easily secured The speaker Thomas B Reed was opposed and used all his powerful influence to prevent its coming to a vote In April of 1898 h
