shores lepers from the mainland.
Botany Bay, a small island off Austria
the convicts of all England until the
name was a by-word over the entire
world Now it is proposed to make of
this fair land of ours the Botany Bay
of America. If we stand shoulder to
shoulder and fight this proposal we can
prevail upon the national government
not to do this, and we should protest
against it to the best of our ability
Mr.. Dole then offered resolution:
THAT it is the sense of the Territorial
Board of Health that the shipment of
lepers from the mainland will be an in
justice to our people and great preju-
