CROSSING THE LINE ON A s. DAY CRUISER

! mittee will take up and also thank the
public for any suggestions along this
! line.
| So far as the Government Tourist
J Bureaus of Australia and New Zea-
land are concerned, the Governor will
most probably write personal letters
to Colonial Premiers, while the COM
nittee, as such, will take matters up
with the chief heads of the Tourist
Bureaus. At present the Tourist
Bureaus of both New South Wales and
New Zealand, are spending hundreds
Of thousands annually, some twenty
five or thirty thousand of which is
spent in a satisfactory manner adver-
Using these countries in America.
There is plan on foot to have all the
Tourist Bureaus of the southern hemi-
sphere unite for a concerted attack
upon the American stronghold with
splendid display bureaus in the large
cities of Canada and the United States.
Already Australia is creating a mag
nificent building on the Strand in Lon
don, where a glittering show of things
to tempt the tourist and immigrant
will be made. The Territorial Trans
portation Committee will not only
place the fact before the southern bu-
reaus that Hawaii is at the crossroads
of the Pacific, but even urge that in
any combination of forces it should be
Hawaii's privilege to introduce her far
off cousins to the American public,
and that both the southerners and the
American or European through tour
lists should stop off for month or
more in Hawaii and become acquaint-
ed with the Paradise of the Pacific.
The committee has much to learn
from the Australian and New Zealand
Tourist Bureaus, which by opening up
new lines of travel. cutting trails and
erecting accommodation huts, have
built up an enormous local tourist bus
mess, besides attracting travellers from
every quarter of the globe. OF course
all this information will be turned over
to the Promotion Committee as soon as
received, as the two bodies viii work
in harmony and any appropriation
asked for by the new committee will
be asked for to be used only by the
Promotion Committee, as the Trans |
portation Committee being organized |
