Club.
Before telling you something CT my
experiences in boosting the Ad Club
around the Pacific, as a necessary ad.
junct of our Hands-round-the-P Pacific
movement, permit me to say that
| when we organized the City Club in
Manila got the AID Club men
there together and formed an AID Club
chapter of the Manila organization,
and | believe that this could be well
done in all of Our great luncheon or.
ganiza tons around the Pacific. / do
not believe that the people of tina
Pacific would take 10 and support an
Ad Club pure and simple, but ! be-
lieve that we can secure an utilization
of all of these organizations with cen
trail headquarters here in Honolulu,
which would be of wonderful service
TO us in these islands, for it will make
Us splendidly acquainted with the pro
gressive work going on around the Pa.
cific, and will necessarily make the
whole Pacific acquainted with GU!
work.
How Others Do II.
In Sydney 1t Is the Luncheon Club
! that finances the bringing of i'm
migrant servant gins to New South
Wales, and 1t does this through the
Government Tourist Bureau In the
Philippines it might be stated that il
was the weekly luncheon club that
secured the promise from the Filipi.
no legislature of an appropriation of
70
tain a tourist bureau Tor the Philip.
pines-a tourist bureau that will take
care of the tourist, cut trails and
build rest houses for his delectation,
and establish auto-bus runs and Sc.
rfes of guides. In Picking the Presi.
dent of China himself is aiding in the
promotion of a weekly luncheon club,
the president of which is the head of
! the Imperial Railways, and the raison
d'etre Of this organization is to- assist
first in creating an official intelli-
gence bureau, along the lines of our
own Promotion Committee here, and
later to bring about the organization
iof a tourist bureau, such as they have
! in Australia and elsewhere for the
| taking care of tourists after they ar
rive, establishing or substituting auto
! bus services in the cities and to the
surrounding resorts, and the raising
of funds to build rest houses or small
hotels for tourists and the people of
| the country. This is the field that
has been so neglected always in Ha.
wall, and which believe this AID Club
should take up and carry through to
success.
| have been telling the rest of the
world what the AID Club of Honolulu
has been doing to create a get-together
spirit in the center of the Pacific, and
now this great feeling has radisted
out to every part of the great ocean
from Honolulu, now that you have
spread the contagion everywhere about
the Pacific let me tell you what other
Pacific cities have done during the rast
year In emulation of your example, and
already some of them have surpassed
You, We have got to catch up.
Big Booster to Visit.
1t was the Millions Club of New
South Wales that at the request of
the New Zealand Club called in Syd-
ney the convention last January of AL
of those in Australasia interested in
/ Hands-Around- the-Pacific work, that
resulted in the promise from the trans
i portation companies of S5-a-day rate
! around the Pacific, and | expect this
/, organization to take part in our great
pan-Pacific convention to be held here
in Honolulu next January, when the
plans to put these rates into actual
effect will be perfected.
| Tomorrow there arrives in this city
the visitor who made the first address
before the City Club in Manila, an.
other sister organization of the Ad
Club and part of the Hands-Around-
the-Pacific movement which your
delegate had the honor of organizing
Now let me ten you a home fact
that you cant get away from, and
don't try to- dodge it. In every place
around the Pacific that has made any
success of real tourist work, it has
been the question of getting the right
nan. The Promotion Committee has
secured the right man here for send.
ing out the literature of these islands
Now 1t is up to us to secure the right
men to create the things in these ISL
ands that will make the tourist salts
fed to remain after he gets here, and
go away boosting as enthusiastically
for us as we do ourselves Now this
is the kind of man that have already
put it up to the Promotion COMMITTEES
to ask us to get to do this line oil
work.
In every country about the Pacific
end in fact throughout the world, !
have observed that the ideal and sue
cessful promotion tourist man is in
variably what is termed prince oil
mixers" He may never touch droI
of liquor, but he has the ability tc
make friend, comrade, and a CO
worker of every man in every walk oil
life. He is essentially an outdoor man
