h At the time the Invitation 70 Pres1-
dent Wilson was taken to.the White
House for confederation by him when
he is we'll enough. Secretary Hume ex-
planned that 1t came from tho races
of the Pacific, which urge President
Wilson to consider residence, and,
leadership in a land where there 10 NO
race prejudice and where, 'tfor twelve,
years, the representatives OF the ma.
tons about the big ocean have been
meeting to plan ont CO. cooperation work
that will bring about league OF ma
lions that will comprise all of those
about the great Pacific ocean,"
Some two years ago when Secretary
OF the Interior Lane was visiting In
Hawaii the various Pacific races ban
quoted him and presented him with
their flags. which in turn were to be
extended to President Wilson with the
request that he act as honorary presi-
dent of the Pan Pacific Union. This
he accepted. Now the races OF the
Pacific hope to get Mr. Wilson In their
midst AZ an active worker in bringing
them together TO act as one great
union OF Pacific nations.
Speaking of the aims and ambitions
Of the Pan-Pacific Union and its invi-
tation to President Wilson to assume
active leadership, Secretary Ford said:
II come TO ask Secretary Franklin
X. Lane If he would come to us as our
active salaried worker. and to gee If
the president would. after his retire
ment from the White House. whenever
that may be, make his home in Ha-
wall as our intellectual leader, for the
reason that the masses who live about
the Pacific snd constitute nearly two
thirds of the worlds population, have
taken to heart his wonderful mes
sages: they have heard little Of the
reservations. but they look on him as
Messiah. who will lead them along the
path Of mans duty TO man. he OF ell
men in the world can bring about I'M
Outstanding and corporation among
the peoples and races OF the Pacific.
Tn Hawaii we have no race prob
lem. All men of all races work to-
gether. they grow up in school to-
gether. and every year thousands OF
Japanese return to Japan with demo-
cratic ideas. The young men educated
in Hawaii, led by DR.. Sun Vat Sen.
born In Hawaii. brought about the
Chinese republic. General Armstrong.
born in Hawaii created and developed
the Hampton Institute. Hawaii christ
ian!zed the races of the South seas
From this little center, as from Pal
estfne Of old, Is radiatiug the new
leaven Of mans duty to man. Christ
ians. Buddhists and Shintos share In
this. II brings all cresds and races to-
gether.
"Mr. Wilson has become the world
exponent OF this seemingly ideal, but
truly practical religion. and In Hawaii,
where It has worked out for a genera
ton. no would be among men Of all
Pacific races. living in q climate where
1t s ever sprinetims and where all
men would be in sympathy with his
Ideals of world brotherhood"
