PANESE FORM
new WELFARE
ORGANIZATION

The organization of new Japanese
association was perfected last night
at a meeting of prominent members
of the local Nipponese colony. 1t has
as its objects the promotion of friend
ly relations between Japan and the
United States and the welfare of the
Japanese in Hawaii.
The new association is the out
growth of a body formed several
weeks ago, which is said to have been
abandoned because Of lack of sup
port from the Japanese Merchants
association. The old constitution and
bylaws were withdrawn last night
and new ones, prepared by DR.. K.
Uchida, we're adopted. The new con-
stitution and bylaws are said to be
favored by the Merchants associa-
tion, the Japanese consul and the Jap
anese community In general.
Editor s. Sheba and Fred K. Ma
kino. who were among those who
formed the first association, were at
the meeting. 1t was said that it will
be endeavored to handle the work Of
the new organization along the lines
of the local Portuguese, Hawaiian and
other societies. +.
