THE WAR EFFORT In Hawaii
NEEDS YOUR HELP!

TINE people of the Territory of Hawaii
forced, by circumstances beyond
their CONTROL to take this means of put
ting before you the incontestable fact that
the continued success of the war effort in the
Pacific is being endangered by the deporable
lack of housing for civilian workers in
the key city of Honolulu.
The president of the Territorial Board of
Health has expressed alarm publicly over the
drastic increase in the tuberculosis rate and
in rat-borne diseases such as trichinosis,
Wells disease, endemic typhus fever and
bubonic plague. Ideal conditions for a de-
vastatng epidemic exist.
There is a marked decrease in the efficiency
of thousands of civilian war workers upon
whom the armed services are dependent for
keeping our feet, our aircraft and our armies

ing accommodations, making new highs.
Labor shortages serious and getting worse
as the war against Japan goes into high gear,
and the news of impossible housing condi-
tons becomes known.
In brief, the crisis is here.
Since 1882 when the first small trickle of
defense workers" began coming to our
shores, we have tried to keep pace with our
expanding population. In prewar Honolulu
we built about 1000 new housing units year.
This construction came to an abrupt halt on

we could not provide housing for him. The
government controls building supplies, home
furnishings and, most important, all shipping
and labor.

Continuous official Investigations and fac.
tual surveys have established that major
housing shortage exists, and is each week get
ting worse. No relief is in sight.
When your great and small cities on the
Mainland awakened, almost overnight, to the
same problem Hawaii faces, something was
done about it. Money, labor, materials and
transportation were provided for emergency
housing. Not so in Hawaii.
Your war boom cities went through their
growing pains-but they did get housing.
Honolulu has been growing, painfully, for
four years without any housing assistance re-
motely comparable to that other American
cities received.
The recent grant of S5,OOO,OOO, for the con.
struction of 1000 units of a permanent type
of dwelling to be located near Pearl Harbor
is fine as far as it goes. However, it cannot
possibly be available until one year after it is
started. Upon completion it won't even dent
the need which exists NOW.
On January lst of this year there was an
actual shortage of 2l,275 dwelling units as
estimated by our Governors Advisory Com
mittee H Housing At the present rate of
population increase it has been estimated that
this figure will climb to $4,000 non.existent
units before l945 is out.
What do we need?
More housing for Honoluu-not next
month-not next year
But right now!
How can it be done?
In the same way you ladies and gentlemen,
and the Federal Government did it for other
critical areas of the United States.
Tomorrow, in another statement, we will
give you further detailed information on what
is happening to your fellow Americans and
fellow civilian war workers on the home
