er forget.
During the many years these
islands have been an integral part
of the United States, fact OF when
we are extremely proud, the Ha-
waiian people have progressed stead
lily, and | believe that the race, in
stead of dying out, is being strength
ened and is growing. We pride our
salves upon being loyal American
citizens, and | think that during the
recent war we proved our allegiance

women are establishing notable rec

life, both at home and abroad. They
are proving themselves steady and
conscientious workers, capable .oi
saving money. We are anxious tc
have the newspaper people OF the
world come here and learn exactly
what We are doing, for we believe
there will then be corrected many
of the mistaken impressions which
from time to time have gone forth
concerning Hawaii and the Hawai-
