exhibit will be in making joint dis
play that will attract the tourist and
visitor to Pacific lands. An interest.

meeting of the commissioners. Many
of them thought they had come to-
gether to pledge support to a perman.

1t was finally agreed and under.
stood, however, that the, exhibits that
go to San Diego will be turned over
to the Pan-Pacific Commercial muse
UNI in Honolulu, which will be sup
ported largely by the regular annual
subscriptions from Pacific lands.
Ha wall is expected to take the
lead in the Pan-Pacific exhibit at San
Diego, and she should. If it is pos.
sible we should have at least one
tank of our fish in the centerIof the
Pan-Pacifc building. Near this we
hope to have the Hawaiian suffers

Plans are well under way for the
joint exhibit. 1t will be made the
