Il suppose there are many of our

In favor of Hawaiian statehood in the

statement advocating statehood as part

policy"
Largely as a result OF his action, a
six-man subcommittee of the House
Territories Committee few to Hawaii
early this month to investigate the ques-
ton. The group arrived back In San
Francisco the day Mr.. Truman delivered
his message, and the chairman, Repre-
sentative Henry D. Larcade, jr., Demo-
crat, Louisiana, stated he was convinced
the people of the Territory of Hawaii
have demonstrated their capacity to as
sumo the responsibility of statehood"

New Pacific Era Dawns as Hawaii Nears Statehood
By William H. Doherty

While residents of the District of Co.
lumbia rejoice over President Truman's
support of their campaign for enfran-
chisement, the peoples of four other
American areas lacking statehood status
Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands-also are finding deep
satisfaction in the Chief Executives
recommendation to Congress.
In the same brief but highly signin-
cant section of his state-of the Union
message dealing with the Districts vot-
ing aspirations, Mr.. Truman made the
following proposals which promise to be
of historic import:
HAWAII-Prompt, favorable action on
her statehood application.
ALASKA-Statehood as soon as it is
ascertained her people desire it,
PUERTO RICO-Legislation by which
her people might choose their form of
government and ultimate status.
VIRGIN ISLANDS-An increasing
measure of self-government.
From a national and international
standpoint, the presidential Endorsement
of statehood for Hawaii and Alaska is
filled with the greatest significance. No
new State has been created since 1912,
when New Mexico and Arizona were
admitted, and never before in history
has noncontiguous area became full
and equal partner in the American
Union.
Hawaii the 49th State
OF these two Pacific Territories,
Hawaii definitely seems to be in the lead
for the honor of becoming the 49th
State. Mr.. Truman's recommendation
regarding Hawaii was unqualified. He
urged that "the Congress promptly ac-
cede to the wishes of the people of
Hawaii that the Territory be admitted
to statehood in our Union"
The Presidents statement was the
second administration pronouncement
