Hawaii Statehood Backed
By Stainback at Hearina
BY the Associated Press

Gov. Ingram M. Stainback of
Hawaii told the House Public Lands
Committee yesterday "the time has
come" when territorial government
for Hawaii can no longer "be en-
dured."
Gov. Stainback spoke in favor of
Legislation now being considered by
the committee to make Hawaii the
forty-ninth State. He said state
hood for Hawaii has been brewing
for more than a century," and
added:
"a territorial government is a
transitory one, tolerable for a rea-
sonable period, but to be endured
no longer than is necessary to show
that the people of the Territory are
capable of self-government. That
time has come ."

ton, ! refer to the recent hear
ings before a subcommittee Of this
committee on amending the Senate
cloture rule. Those hearings in
volved fundamental principles Of
democratic government. Yet, from
the viewpoint Of Negroes, they were
inadequately reported by the white
daily press. For example, | saw in
no white daily any reference to
the profound statement Of Senator
John II. 0verton, Of Louisiana, that
THE Democratic South stands for
white supremacy" An effective
cloture rule and the attitudes Of

come now to some difficulties
encountered in covering the pro-
ceedings of the Senate itself. On
the opening day Of the S0th Con-
gress 1t was impossible to get into
the Senate galleries, although Ne
groes were vitality interested in
the action taken on the credentials
Of SenatOr-elect Theodore G. Bilbo,
Of Mississippi. When the Senate
acted late the next day on the COM
promise agreement laying the ere
dentials Of Mr.. Bilbo on the table,
Negro correspondents had to get
the news the best way they could,
although there were vacant seats
in the press gallery.
During the personal hearing
given me by the Standing Commit
tee Of Correspondents, it was sug-
gested that / could follow Con-
gressional proceedings through the
Congressional Record. Let's see
how that works. The vote on elo-
ture on fair employment practice
legislation occurred late on Satur-
day afternoon, Feb. o, 1916. That
vote had to be sent out that night
II IT were TO reach Negro papers in
time for publication. Because there
was no Negro correspondent in
the Senate press gallery, the roll
call vote had to be secured from a
news service. Admission to the
press gallery would overcome these
difficulties. II also would make
available notices Of news confer
ences, advance copies Of reports,
speeches, and other matters.
AS to my qualifications, | repre-
sent both a daily paper and a news
service, some of whose members
require telegraphic service. | send
telegraphic correspondence to the
Atlanta Daily World. In addition,
the larger Negro weeklies, some Of
which publish editions daily, also
require telegraphic service.
