from member of the Promotion

since that time there have been tons

has always cooperated with the Pan.

unnecessary to bring up criticism in
the press of conditions that no longer
exist and have been remedied.
trust and believe that in the future
the members of the Promotion Com

their meetings sent out from their
headquarters more carefully edited.
When asked today regarding the
statement that the Hawaii exhibits
were in poor condition at San Diego,
Albert P. Taylor, secretary OF the
Hawaii Promotion Committee, said
I'VE are leaving the matter entirely
up to Fred J. Halton and ]. w. Scott.
We do not know the conditions.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee
will take no action on withdrawing
the exhibits and funds for the support
of the same until a definite answer
is heard from the representatives on
the mainland. 1t is no fault of the
people here. / feel that had Mr.
Ford been in attendance he would
have carefully looked after every de-
