Question of Finance.


The question of financing the con
gress and its work for the coming year
came up. Mr.. Story said he was NOT
empowered by the Los Angeles Chamber
OF Commerce to 60 into the financial
end of things, having been authorized
merely to attend the congress and aseer
tain it's purpose. However, he believed
this was matter into which the exec
utiye committee should go and ascertain
some way of financing the work. Upon
motion of Won Damn the matter was re-
ferred to the executive committee.
The question of finances occupied con.
siderable attention. Mr.. Hunter stated
that he felt his government was ready
to enter into a financial arrangement.
He felt that different countries should
contribute different sized sums to the
advancement of the work. Australia g
should be larger than Ceylon g, and Ha-
wall should contribute more than the
Others. This view was agreed to by
Others, on the ground that Hawaii was
the clearinghouse for travel throughout
the Pacific, and as the work would cen.
ter here, the bulk Of financing should
be done here.
The executive committee viii take
up the question and send notice to
each Of the countries and organizations
represented in the congress, setting
forth the financial needs.
Upon motion Of Mr.. Davis the Gov
ernor of the Territory Of Hawaii is
made honorary president Of the Pan
Pacific Congress.

Hunter Dissenting.

Mr.. Story of Los Angeles moved that
the report Of the nomir ating committee
be accepted and that the secretary cast
vote electing the. candidates as mem
bers Of the executive committee. Mr..
Davis, however, moved that nomina.
tions be open. Percy Hunter, for Aus
tralia, did not agree with the accept
ance of the nominating committees re-
port, stating that that method was re-
pugnant to him and a nominating COM
mittee was an entirely foreign method
of procedure to him.
He asked for ruling from the chair
on his question to be allowed TO offer
more nominations. The chair ruled
him out Of order in view Of the vote
taken previously. Hunter then asked
that his name be entered on the min.
utes as that of dissenting voter.
