President Roosevelt believes Territory of Hawaii’s small islands should be privately owned to prevent “deforestation and the drying up of the water.” Despite what politicians say, Roosevelt supports Governor Carter and hopes that Secretary Alatau L. C. Atkinson will not sever his relations with Hawaii. Unlike precedents in other states, Hawaii must be aware of Japan.
