The demand became so insistent that the matter was subject of investigation by a joint committee of the congress in 1938. The subject of statehood for Hawaii has been investigated by two committees of the congress.

Washington, D. C. March 7.

J. A. Krug, secretary of the Interior, just back from a visit to Hawaii, voiced strong support for immediate statehood as the public lands committee of the house began statehood hearings today. The text of Mr. Krug's testimony follows: I strongly favor the enactment of legislation by this congress which will authorize the admission of the territory of Hawaii Into the Union as a state.

There is no doubt in my judgment that Hawaii is qualified for statehood. I have just returned from Hawaii and have seen at first hand give citizens of the hard won island bases some measure of civil- gov ernment in place of "dictatorial" military rule.

ADEQUATE DATA I commend these reports to you and believe that they contain adequate data on which this committee can act in reporting on the pending bill. The joint committee found in 1938 "that Hawaii has fulfilled every requirement for statehood heretofore exacted of territories."

a a a Fifteen minutes after the doors were closed to the public and the press, the Democrats left the house chambers to consider a new Republican offer. Rep. James W. Glover, Republican, handed reporters the text of the GOP offer, which is the second county workers dismissed by Engineer John L. Padgett.

The cases of 14 other road workers were still to be heard, but no board action is to be taken on the remaining six parks employes since they come under the jurisdiction of the civil service commission. Mr. Padgett has said the dismissals were part of a proposed plan to reorganize the public works department. What effect the board's action will have on the plan remains to be seen. the interest of conservation, the "remaining reserves of resources should be utilized prudently in a manner consistent with the common welfare," and that congress is better equipped than a state legislature to "integrate use (of public lands) with national neeeds."

Today's hearing was opened by the reading into the record of proposed amendments to the bill suggested by Oscar L. Chapman, undersecretary of the interior, and by a report from the war department.

It will translate them into action. It will enhance the prestige of this nation in world affairs and specifically in Pacific affairs if this long overdue step is promptly taken. 10 This is the area of the Pacific.

Statehood for Hawaii will project our state frontiers 2.300 miles into the Pacific. It will demonstrate to the peoples of the Pacific that we have faith in our democratic ideals. It will bring to the councils of the nation individuals to participate in our national government who have a unique appreciation of the problems of the Pacific. The fact that Hawaii is non-contiguous to the continent is a reason for, not a reason against statehood. It presented no obstacle to the congress in 1900 when Hawaii was incorporated into the Union, which statute was of a temporary nature contemplating ultimate statehood.
