MEETING BIG
PROMOTION AID,
AYERS H. P. WOOD
Secretary Of Opinion That For
mer Trivial AnimOsities Are
Entirely QbIiterated

'T believe that the work Of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee Is bet
ter understood now than Ii has ever
been before, and that the little ami
mosities which have been felt In the
past have been wiped out. The dif-
ferent Islands have eonies to fBali1e
that in order to have the committee
help them, they must help the COM
nittee."
H. P. Wood. secretary Of the Pro
motion Committee. in making the
foregoing statement this morhihg, ex-
pressed his opinion as to the result
of the second annual civic and COM
mercial convention along lines Of pro-
motion. A speaker at recent meet
ing of the executive committee Of the
convention, said that If Hawaii was
to be deprived of its sugar income
through the removal of the tariff on
sugar, the islands must replace that
income by increasing tourist travel,
which would call for more money and
As an outcome Of the convention, the
committee is assured Of this money,
and it is safe to say that 1t has the
sincere cooperation OF every island in
the group.
'sfhe other islands have come to
realize that the Promotion Committee
is net committee for Oahu alone, but
a representative Of every island In
the group Wood continued Each
island has its attractions, and there
is no sfavoritism displayed in setting
forth these attractions to the travel
ing public The committee win open

October, and already we are maaing
plans for another bureau in Honolu-
lu which will have complete charge OF
the reception and entertainment of
tourists, whether transient or perman-
ent. We are at present looking for
a capable man to handle this work
Our plan is to keep moving, and this
plan has received marked impetus by
the convention This new bureau will
take charge Of the tourists immedi-
ately upon their arrival in Honolulu,
arrange island tours and do every
thing to make their stay in the
islands one which they will be glad
to go back to their homes and tell
about Then, this bureau viii arrange
special excursions, always keeping
things moving. It has long been ine
wish of the committee to do this. but
there have been, no funds available.
Now that we have been assured extra
funds, believe that all our plans may
be carried out. ! expect 1914 to be a
big year, and / think that by that
time we will be able to handle the in
