"There are two spots on the globe where I found the United States to be the most idolized nation on. earth," said Mr. Philip Lowdon, a traveler from Sydney, N. S. W., to a Washington Post man. "On my way to America I stopped some days at Samoa and also at HonolulĂș. In both countries the feeling toward the Yankee race is of the warmest character. In Samoa the people hate tEe Germans with absolute detestation, as they have never forgotten nor forgiven their bombardment by the Grman war vessels. In HonolulĂș I strongly suspect that the extravagant protestations of affection toward this country are based on the desire for annexation. The controlling element is simply crazy to be annexed to the United States. I thought that if I lived there I would feel the same way. Undoubtedly it will be a great thing for the Hawaiians to come under tho protection of the 'stars and stripes.' While it may be a good thing for your country to appropriate the islands, the beneflts are 100 to 1 greater on the other side."
