What the Board is seeking to do now
is to induce European immigrants who

come here. To speak more generally,
we are trying to induce persons already
In the United States to come to this

purpose of making it clear to the Pres

what we are trying to do but are cor

deal if we have in fact and in effect
the seal of the approval of the United

As matter of fact, we hope to be
able to induce considerable number
of the people of Southern Italy, who |
are already in the United States, to |
come to Hawaii. That is why it was
considered important that Ernest Fab |

be at that conference in Washington,

the missionary vessel Morning Star,
speaking of Captain Walkup yesterday,
said he was the right man to do mis-
sionary work among the Gilbertese.
Captain Walkup went to the islands
about twenty-five years ago on the
Morning Star, never having seen such
a vast area of water before He pick
ed up navigation and in time became
an expert in sailing among the islands.
He was a rare missionary, being a
plain-spoken, blunt yet kindly man, one
whom the natives regard as one of
their best friends.
