so remarkable that we reproduce the
opening paragraph Us an exhibit of what
American writers are doing for our little
brown brothers:
"A thousand miles Of isle-strewn sea
stretching fairly across the great gate
way TO the Orient and beyond; depth of
blue in sea and sky, whose beauty neither
poets pen nor painters brush will ever
fully tell; world of safely sheltered
waterways where palm-fringed. beach and
coral reef frame the mirrored beauties OF
tropic SKY; mountain ranges between
whose pine-crowned heads and jungle
hidden feet there grows the foliage OF
every zone; a climate Of perpetual sum-
mer with blends OF springtime's balmy air
and autumn's cooling breeze: a soil so
rich and natures products so abundant
that 'twixt toll and plenty necessity has
never built bond. a people in whom the
genius OF the Orient has found It's most
unique expression: a civilization in which
the North and the South the East and
the West meet upon terms Of equality. IN
which the orient and Occident stand
side by side and together work out ths
problem of the races in peace"
