eager participants, the Hawaiian Opera
House last night reechoed again and
again to the reclamation of the peace
seekers, as with due formality and cere

every door, was thrown open and knots
of those who arrived too late gathered

listening to the speechmaking and join

greatest world move of modern times
and of seeing the fraternity that exists
in the Crossroads of the Pacific made
universal, wherever the English lam
guage is spoken.
