ernor Frear the appointment of a thor
loughly representative committee to give
consideration to this matter. If the
suggestion is deemed feasible and de-
sirable an organization should be effect
ed as soon as possible and the work
of preparation commenced. A fund OF
at least five hundred thousand dollars
should be provided, of which amount,
the Federal government might well be
asked to, furnish one-half.
No general exposition should be at.
tempted, though thorough exploitation
should be made of our products in a
special building; an auditorium would
also be needed The time should be,
say, July LIST to 18th, 1912, July 4th
being set as Naval Day. 1t should be
possible to have the entire Pacific fleet
in our waters at that time, together
with large number of foreign memoir
war. The President and Secretary of
the Navy should be invited as well as
all of the members of the Senate and
House Committees on Military affairs.
Our consular service could also be
called upon and representatives from
commercial bodies of every city and
port interested in Pacific Ocean traffic
would be present.
During the time of the celebration,
special inter-island excursions could be
run so as to give onr visitors an op-
portunity to see every part of the Ter
ritoIy
A hundred other ideas will occur to
you as to ways and means of making
such celebration attractive and effec-
tive. l am thoroughly convinced that
such an undertaking can be carried out
successfully and hope that the commit
tee may give the matter careful consid-
GRAFTON.
