pressed his opinion as to the result
of the second annual civic and com

motion Aaspeaker at 4 recent meet
ing of the. executive committee Of the
convention, said that il Hawaii was
to be deprived Of itsN 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
support for the Promotion COMMITTEES.
As an outcome of the convention. the
committee is assured OF this money,
and it is safe to say that it has the
sincere cooperation of every island in
the group.
The other islands have come to
realize thst the Promotion Committee
is Rci committee for Oahu alone, but
a representative of every island in
the group" Wood continued. Each
island has its attractions, and there
is no fayoritism displayed in setting
forth these attractions. to the travel
ing public. The committee will open
c branch office in San Francisco In
October, and already we are making
plans for another bureau in Honolu-
luswhich 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. 1t has long been the
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.
