Baron Shibusawa, Governor Of
Toxic, gave the following welcome to
the Student Federation:
I'VE regard it as a great privilege
to have this city of ours chosen as the
meeting-ground of so august an assem-
bly,. Situated in the uttermost part
of the Far East, with manners and
customs quite at variance with yours
speaking a language NOT in the least
allied to any in vogue among your
peoples-this city can offer you but
little comfort and convenience. Still,
as far as our sentiments of respect and
sympathy are concerned you may be
sure, ladies and gentlemen, that you
have our best and sincerest
Moreover, we believe the time you
| have selected is fortunately most pro-
pitious for a gathering of nations on
| this soil. It is the first meeting of an
international character ever held in
our country, and we fully appreciate
| its significance. You make us more
| conscious than ever of the fact that
| from a comparatively unknown town,
/ unconcerned in the affairs of mankind
/ at large. our capital has now risen to
a place among world cities"
! DR.. Karl Fries, President of the
! Worlds Conference, paid a fitting trib-
ute to Japan, in his reply to these cor
dial greetings. He said:
Having heard of the greatness of
Japan largely as indicated by her sue
cess in war we have been able during

her real essentials of greatness. We

The following is the address of Rev.
E. w. Thwing before the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association yesterday:
The first great Oriental convention
opened in Toxic, Japan, on April 8, the
birthday of Jimmu Teno, famous as
the first ruler of Japan. It was the
Conference of the Worlds Student
Christian Federation, and is note
worthy as being the first international
convention ever held in the Far East,
and also as being the largest gathering
of Christian Student leaders that has
ever assembled. Some of the most
distinguished educators and scientists
in the world were there, with represen-
tatives of all the Young Mems Chris
tian Associations in China, Japan and
Korea.
The objects of the Students Fedora
ton are as follows: "0) To unite stu
dents Christian movements or organi-
cations throughout the world and pro-
mote mutual relations among them. 90
To collect information regarding the
religious condition of the students of
all lands. CD To promote the fol-
lowing lines of activity: To lead stu
dents to become disciples of Jesus
Christ as only Saviour and as God; to
deepen the spiritual life of students;
to enlist students in the work of ex-
tending the Kingdom of Christ
throughout the whole world
Japan, by her most cordial welcome
of this great conference, has again
showed that she is the leader of East
ern Asia. Japan in the Far East has
| been first in war, and is now first in
| peace. One of her writer's said:
| MANY countries of Europe and
| America have had world gatherings Of
| one kind or another held within their
| bounds; but none in this part of the
| globe has until now had a similar fact
| to record. And it will be writ large
| in our annals that when Japan entered
| the fellowship of civilized nations
| in receiving world representing body
the first that came was a powerful
] conference essaying to obliterate the
! line that separates the East from the
! West and merge them into spiritual
brotherhood, to mark for us, as it
We're, the return of peace. If this
/ coincidence was accidental, it is new
| ertheless a coincidence that strongly
appeals to our heart and will often re-
turn to our memory to be a source OF
! inspiration
Marquis Ito, who has in his hands
so 10 speak the future of Korea, show
lei his appreciation of this remarkable
convention by a gift of 10000 yen. He
sent also the following telegram from
| Korea:
Please convey my war1nest greet
lngs and good wishes to the delegates
especially those from foreign lands
welcome them as fellow workers in
the same noble cause of love and peace

COOKE SEES HOPE
FOR Immigration
Believes Roosevelt Has Way
Which Will Clear Up the
Boards Troubles.

The present outlook for continue
ton of the work which has been start
ed by the Board of immigration, is e1-
tremeiy favorable, according to state
ment made yesterday by Secretary J.
P. Cooke. In talking of this matter
| he said:
THE ca kilograms which we received
today have been very encouraging, the
one from Stackable, saying that the
President was strongly in favor of a
continuation of the work which we
have done and another from an equally
authoritative source, saying that Pres
ident Roosevelt wished to see the I'M
migration to Hawaii increased ten-fold
before his administration was over,
have made US feel very good. I feel
certain that if the President did not
feel that the immigration could be con-
tinued, he would not make remarks OF
this tenor.
Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt has worked
out some way in which the difficulties
which have been placed in our way
can be removed. At any rate he must
have some way out of our trouble
which was caused by the opinion
which was given by Attorney General
Bonaparte. In this opinion it seemed
at first that the work of immigration
could be carried on but that the sub
scriptions must come from individuals
and not from corporations. But when
we came to look into the matter care
fully it was brought down to such a
fine point that unless the money for
this purpose was given by some mil
lionaire philanthropist the actual
bringing in of immigrants with it
would be illegal. The meaning OF the
term money given by an individual
was shaded down so as to mean that
it must be money given by some per-
son who neither directly nor indirectly,
or in any way, shape or form could or
would benefit by the bringing in of
immigrants.
Under those conditions we felt that
we might about as well give up our
work as there was no way which we
could see ahead in which the money
could be raised and still be properly
raised, in the light of this opinion. But,
from the utterances of Mr.. Roosevelt,
I feel sure that he has some way
out of it.
II notice by the morning paper that
the President and Bonaparte have had
split What this is due to is not
mentioned but it would be interesting
to know if this immigration matter had
anything to do with it. They seem
to be at variance on the subject,
though, of course, their trouble, if
there has been any, may have started
from quite another source.
.'Stackable's leave will be up on
June II, and we expect that he will be
home by that time but do not know,
as it may be that he will obtain an
other extension, while he is in Wash
ington. We are anxious to see him
and to hear what he has to say on the
matter, as he will be certain to have
views of Importance for u.s.

WILL CAN PINES
IN GREAT NUMBER
The Cannery Has Been Largely
increased in Its
Capacity.

/ The Wahfawa Consolidated Pineapple
! Company is preparing for big sea-
| sons work at Wahiawa, and the can
ming plant is being increased to many
times the capacity which it was last
| year. At that time the plant could
! handle only from four to five tons of
| pines per day, these being all put W
| in glass With the new machinery
which is being installed the cannery
will be able, when the pines are plenty,
to turn out from twenty-five to thirty
tons each twenty-four hours.
According to statement made yes
terday by L. G. Kellogg, of the pine
apple concern, the business is in the
most fiourishing condition and it is i'm
possible to fill the orders that are COM
ing in. The output of the cannery this
year will not be as heavy as might be
expected on account of the fact that
the Hawaiian Fruit and Planting Co,
which consolidated with the Tropic
Fruit Co. to form the present concern,
had a contract by which its crop for
two years was to be turned over to the
Dole cannery For this reason the Con-
solidated cannery will put out only
about 1900 cases Of pines this year.
Next year the matter will be quite
different. and Mr.. Kellogg states that
a conservative estimate of the output,
which will from now on be in both
glass and tins, is set ut $4,000 cases.
From then on the amount which viii
be handled will increase steadily and
this in the big cannery building which
has been erected. While the machinery
which has been installed will can many
times the crop which was produced
last year, the building is large enough
to increase the plant to many times its
present size.
Next week the pines will begin to
come in strong and there will be many
of them on hand in two weeks from
now, when the cannery will be in full
operation. Among those who will take
a trip to Wahiawa for the purpose of
taking in this unusual sight will be
Mr. and Mrs. Jack London. London is
very anxious to learn all that he can
of the conditions in Hawaii and wants
to be we'll informed in regard to the
work, as well as everything
else. He WILL with his wife, be the
guest of Mr.. Kellogg at Wahiawa as
soon as the season is well advanced.
