Views of Commodore George W. Melville, Chief Engineer of the Navy, as to the strategic and commercial value of the Nicaraguan Canal, the future
control of the Pacific Ocean, and the strategic value of Hawaii, and its annexation to the United States; 55th Cong., 2nd Sess., Sen. Doc. No. 188: octavo,
33p, Wash., 1898. Melville’s testimony is unabashedly imperialist. It is prefixed with the subtitle - “Our future on the Pacific. What we have there
to hold and win.” - and it ends with the question: “Shall not we, too, serve the greater Republic that is to come, and in accepting this gift of the
Hawaiian group not only make secure our western shore, but give the coming generations a firm grasp on the vast, but for us almost untouched, trade of
Pacific shores and islands.?”)
