CONSUL'S ADDRESS.
7 an glad to meet you here in the
Chinese United Society hall Of Homo
lulu AZ this reception With your Of
fcers and committees, and large mem
bership. you have q great influence
among the Chinese OF Hawaii. I an
also glad 10 see Nr. Thwing here to-
dat. for he IS doing good work for the
Chinese people OF the Islands. As a
Chinese United Society, you are a very
important part OF the Chinese Of Ho-
nOluIu. You can aid them in many
ways. But in case there are any mat
tiers that you cannot settle among
yourselves. an here 10 help you. Call
on ne az any time you have need.
The Chinese government has shown its
interest in the Chinese abroad by send
ing ambassadors and cOnsuls - be
ready 20 assist them We want to do
-. But remember you also have a
work 20 do. You are Chinese, I see
your faces. you cannot deny that you
are Chinese people. And 50 you must
work for the good OF your own coun-
Try
As said. want TO help you when
can but I cannot help you in ev-
erythins- For example 4 Chinese met
me the other day. and said he had
been arrested for peddling fish on the
street. and wanted my aid I cannot
attend 70 such things The Board Of
Health Of Honolulu has rules for the
selling OF fish. He who sells fish must
keep them. and sell fish in the market.
II that Is the proper place. You must
all Try and keep the laws of the coun-
Try.
We all would Ike 70 see more Chi
nese come 70 Hawaii Il would make
the business everywhere better. viii
90 what I can 70 aid in this matter.
I an going 70 write 10 the Chinese
Ambs= =sadcr on the question He has
promised 70 help. This Exclusion Law
Is very unsatisfactory. Il was said at
first that IL was not exclusion. but on
" a temporary restriction OF Chinese
immigration But after the treaty had
expired il was continued for another
ten years and 50 it might go on for
ten years more, and 50 on, for a hun
dred years. This cannot be permitted,
and al must work for better arrange
nents- Some Chinese Iabo-ers should
Be- allowed 70 come 10 Hawaii And
new treaty must be made more clear.
Il the coming OF Chinese Iaborers TO
America is restricted, the restriction
must b made so plain that It wiz not
trouble scholars, merchants and other
classes who wish 10 come. The AM
bassador viii use his influence 10
secure changes II must be here a
little. and there a little, first an inch,
then q foot. until We regain our right
place
This Chinese United Society IS
good thing But I would ike also 70
see q Chinese Commercial Club. similar
70 the American one here in Honolulu.
L could promote business interests N
many ways. More Chinese education
is also needed. Our young Chinese are
working hard with their English
studies which is good, but they should
work more 10 learn Chinese It is very
important I an glad 10 be here and
see you. and thank you for this kind
reception you have prepared"
After another piece by the band, the
president OF the society invited Rev.
E ". Thwing 70 say q few words. He
made q short speech IN Chinese. greet
ing the new consul
