briefly to all parts of this great ocean.
At the same time, an edition OF at
least five thousand copies should be
provided of a Travel Map of the Pa

Roads of the Pacific map issued by
the Hawaii Promotion Committee but
containing additional lines showing
steaming distances between various
points of Importance besides other
data.
In the Call for this Congress-, the
1 Committee stated that they expected
an unusually large number of visit
ors to be in Honolulu ut the time of
our Carnival season. | am pleased to
state that our expectations have been
more than realized and that we have
with us today fifty per cent more
travellers than we have had during
any previous season. The attractions
that we are able to offer at our an
nual carnival are, of course, limited,
and it is safe to conclude that, where
we have one visitor now, we can sure
ly expect from two to five if able to
offer additional attractions, such as
illustrated travel talks descriptive of
interesting places Oh the Pacific, with,
possibly later on, small exhibits anu
a generous supply of advertising mat

gently direct the steps of the traveller
beyond Hawaii, thus in way making

Pacific travel.
We are pleased to say that with the
limited material in hand, the Con-
mittee already has been instrumental
in sending many travellers to the
South Seas and the Orient but we
want to be able to do more, and with
the assistance and cooperation of tie
! interests present know that we shall
be able to accomplish our purpose
1t is very evident that conditions
are now ripe for the movement We
are about to inaugurate and | believe
, that as a direct result of this meet

| is going to be materially increased
and that the Pan-Pacilic Travel Con-
gress Is going to prove to be the iac-
tor needed to bring about this deve-
! opment
At the request of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee, have prepared
for your consideration Il form of Con-
stitution and bylaws such as was
thought might meet the needs of the
Congress, copies of which you have
already received

The Speeches.
Chairman Bush called upon Percy
Hunter of Australia who said that he
believed that the travel of the world
was to be now 20 the Pacific rather
than to Europe.
Hawaii from her position has
done much in bringing the delegates
here from the countries bordering the
Pacific.
My idea Is that the organization
proposed goes beyond what | had
thought possible don't think that
Australia can be subscribing mem
her to such an elaborate program nj

this constitution are too complete, a
permanent organization Is not need
