citation of Hawaii was responsible for
the introduction of the resolution.
Rawlins took the floor in defense OF
the Bar Association. He stated thai
he would not put himself on record
| either for or against the movement
but he wanted it known that the reso
luton had not originated from the AS
ISOLATION. Personally in order to keeT
out of the matter entirely he had KEEP
away from the Bar Association, meet
ings of the Executive Committee, /
member of which he is, but he fel
that the Association should have time
to get the necessary quorum in ordei
that it might expressed itself.
Kaleiopu denied that he intended
to imply the origin OF the matter t
the Bar Association.
Kaniho seconded the motion to tab''
the resolution, with much verbosity.
