J. A Kennedy faid "a believe We
should take action. The Presidents
message has Just been sent in 90 Gone
eress and Il Is now the long session.
u strikes me. however. that there IL
plenty Of time. Roosevelt introduced
the 2o-per cent rsductlon hin In COM
gress. and althotsh he had to light
practically the whole " Congress. he
carried HIS point believe he will
carry this matter through. II might
be advantageous to send committee
later on, but not now. There Is plenty
OF time Congress won't adjourn until
June or July"
Chairman Smith said: I'VE could as
certain from Mr.. Hatch what his views
are. We can cable him that we are
prepared TO send on a committee. l
think the chair would entertain a mo-
tion TO that effect and that someone
be instructed to send on such a mes
sage.
CABLEGRAM TO HATCH.
Mr.. Peck moved that President Low
rey OF the Chamber OF Commerce and
President Smith OF the Merchants AS
ISOLATION be instructed to send Joint
cablegram to Mr.. Hatch. he to consult
with the Delegate, stating that the two
commercial organizations are prepar-
ed to send a committee to Washington
TO advocate this proposed measure, and
TO ask his advice In the matter. This
was seconded by MIR. Garvie.
Mr. Gait again rose 10 press the
urgency OF the need of committee
going at once 10 Washington. He said
Il was very much interested in a con-
Versat,on / had recently with u gentle
man who has been serving as a Judge
in Alaska Judge HoggatO, and he told
me that they sent on large delegations
20 every Congress, and they generally
got what they went after.
1T seems almost unnecessary 10
praise Mr. Hatch.
But IL seems to me this is a matter
of Importance to every one I'm this coun-
try and | don't think Mr. Hatch or any
other one man should have such a
matter left open entirely to his own
judgment.
Il think, however. II Is an excellent
idea to ascertain from MIR. Hatch his
views. / think that any community
that has a recommendation made for It
such as the President has made for
Hawaii and expects him to get Il
through Congress with the aid of one
man. will get left. Here Is Congress,
with over $50 members, to deal with.
II is "A Herculean task for any one
man, or even for two men, to handle.
III we are TO make the best of this
opportunity, facing the possibility of
getting or losing this great amount of
money, 1t seems to me the expense OF
sending n committee on and maintain
ing 1t is a matter that should receive
no consideration"
The motion was then passed, and the
committee was authorized to prepare
and send it's cablegram at it's earliest
convenience.
