''Hawaii's Bill of Rights"
Waged by Gov. harrington

Honolulu, June % "a. P. BY MaiD
"A concerted campaign to obtain
Recognition of Hawaii's status as a
territory and its rights to the bene-
fits and privileges enjoyed by states.
as set forth in the measure adopted
by the recent legislature, which Is
known as Hawaii's Bill of Rights"
is being waged by Governor Wallace
r. harrington and other territorial
officials.
The territorial government is mail
ing to the governors of all OF the
states and to each member of Con-
gress a copy of the "Biil OF Rights
which was approved April 26. A
letter requesting aid in obtaining
the recognition sought accompanies
each copy.
The bill, containing 16 printed
pages, reviews the history of the
islands from 1853, when annexation
to the United States was considered
for the first time, untn the present
day.
This declaration and its method
OF PRONUNCIATION are extraordinary
unique in the history of legislation"
the document says. 1.-THE reason for
this procedure Is that an extra
ordinary and critical situation faces
Hawaii-one unique in history"
For quarter of a century Hawaii
has occupied the legai status of full
and complete political union with the
United States as an integral part
thereof, but a misunderstanding ap-
pears to exist in the congress and in
some of the executive departments
of the federal government as to the
status, which has at times resulted
in the classification or treatment Of
Hawaii as If it were an fnsular
possession in derogatory manner
to the dignity of this territory"
The document declares that
Hawaii is in no sense the property
of the United States, inasmuch as
Hawaii became a part of the union
by voluntary agreement as an indie
pendent nation, having sovereign
powers co-equal with those of the
United States" By the manner of it's
entrance Hawaii acquired certain
inalienable rights, contractual, equit-
able and moral, to the maintenance
of which the good faith of the United
States is pledged. the measure as
