Australian Assisted by Club
"A few days ago ran into an Aus
tralian in San Francisco who for a
month had been seeking to place or
ders for $500, 900 worth Of machinery,
and had not yet gotten onto the ropes;
moreover some Of the manufacturers
he went to didn't want his orders; he
did not know just where to go. / took
him to see the secretary of the Foreign
Trade club, who through the 100 per
cent organization at once made him
feel at home.
81 am glad to tell you that today
both the Foreign Trade and the 100 per
cent clubs are working units of the
Pan.Pacific union in San Francisco;
they have taught us something. was
invited to address both of these or
CARNATIONS, and laid our Pan-Pacific
plans before their members. The next
day they had me out on Market street
looking for the ground floor of build
ing in which they could locate a mag
nificent display and where the Pan
Pacific union would be willing to en-
gage and occupy adjacent quarters for
it's Pan-Pacific information bureau.
Located in Monadnoek Building.
I'VE located in a building, the Mo-
nadnock, the agent of which was sent
to me by the treasurer Of the Tourist
Association of Central California. l
had met with the directors at the in
vitation of Mr.. Cloud, their secretary,
and evidently my proposal of Pan
Pacific tourist bureau had fallen on
fallow ground. We sincerely hope to
have your Central California Tourist
association in with US, most promi-
nently so.
''In this our first mainland joint Pan
Pacific bureau we wish your advice
and cooperation. ] am here to learn
your way Of doing things in California
and may perhaps be permitted to tell
you how we are trying to carry on the
work in Hawaii, our experiment sta
ton as il were. There at the cross
roads of the Pacific We must ever act
as clearing house of Pan-Pacific eff
fort; 1t is our place to be of personal
service, and already we are the store
house of growing Pan-Pacific COM
mercial museum, the exhibits in which
from every part of the great ocean
may be forwarded on occasion to ex-
hibitions where they may be seen to
the advantage and advancement of
Pacific lands and interests.
Jack London Assisted.
"Our first overseas speaker at Pan
Pacific gathering in Hawaii was from
your central countries, David Starr
Jordan; one Of the first and continu-
GUS workers was also from the same
region, Jack London; our president, |
Frear. was born here in
California, and we are really just
across the ferry from you. In our Pan
Pacific movement we have had no
paid workers; each of us has made it |
a labor of love, paying his own way |
