Let Us Prepare For Emergencies
Is Plea of Hagens To Delegates

Periodically emphasizing the part
Hawaii may be called on to play in
the course of future events, because
of the great war, and the need for
"a bigger and better Hawaii, a Big
ger and better America" J. F. c.
Hagens, president of the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce, closed his vel
coming address this morning at Ian.
iakea.
Throughout his address, President
Hagens' words carried suggestion Of
advice that island business men must
not forget the worlds crisis, and that
they must be prepared to keep step
with American progress and Amert.
can aims here as on the mainland.
= But it was his concluding remarks
that frankly drew attention to the
world war and the need for Hawaii
business preparedness. He said in con.
clusion:
Stirring times are ahead of US aud
we must be prepared to meet them,
we must also realize that our COM
mon country is called up to play
a more important part in the world
affairs than ever, so the watchword.
Preparedness, is certainly not amiss
at this time.
Let us prepare during and after
the deliberations of the next two
days to meet all emergencies that may
confront us in the near future, and
let US prepare for bigger and bet
ter Hawaii, a bigger and better
America"
ut affords me special pleasure, on
behalf of the civic organizations of
the Island of Oahu, to bid you vel
come to our city. The generous re-
Spouse to our invitation certainly
demonstrates the keen interest our
civic bodies are taking in these con-
Yentions and our problems of today.
THE unrelaxing aim to keep
abreast the wonderful stride of Amer.
Jean progress during the past few de-
cades brought into play the best in
tegrity and foresight of the land, with
highly satisfactory results, working
steadily in its individual grooves to-
wards a successful accomplishment of
the whole Today's problems, how
ever, are far more momentous under
the present world conditions and, to
be properly solved, require greater
unity of purpose and action-henee,
the more reason for the common coun.
ell and open and free exchange of
views, in which you are asked to par.
ticipate during the session of this
convention. Many subjects OF vital
importance to our little island com.
munities will be placed before you in
the course of the next two days and,
/ dare say, will receive at your hands
the same thorough and conscientious
consideration as has been accorded to
the successful solution of our prob.
lens in the past. ..< ... ...::.
"Hawaii's progress prompted one of
our local papers recently to publish a
special issue, devoted to a review of
a quarter of century of prosperous
growth. 1t proved revelation to
many who were not acquainted with
the earlier conditions of the islands.
We have cause for profound salts.
faction in that Hawaii, whether pros.
porous or not, has always maintained
the lead in the cane sugar industry
and, of late, has also obtained like
rank in the pineapple industry. There
is no gainsaying the fact that what.
ever Hawaii undertakes, it tackles

convince the observer that our peo'
pies pride in their achievements is

Take a Direct Part
To an extent probably never known
before our civic conventions are des'
tined to take more and more direct
part in Hawaii's progress and achieve
ments, .cause men of different types
not ordinarily in direct touch with the
various activities which constitute
the mass of the body polite, become
acquainted not only with each other,
but also with each others aims, pur.
poses and activities, permitting d
healthy exchange of views noS other:

THE highest ideals of social and
material life can only be attained
through the healthy exchange Of in
dividual views and efforts, and,
whether Immediately accomplished or
not, tend to clarity the purpose OF our
endeavors and the aims Of our individ-
ual lives as we'll as the life and strug-
giles of the nation.
Let us not forget that each OF US
is destined to fill his place in the uni
verse and do his best for the advance

often complex, but the true man, the
true citizen soon realizes his purpose
