account of the mingling of Japa-
nese, Chinese, Polynesian and
American cultures by Edwin G.
Burrows. Yale University Press,
Publishers. New Haven, 1947.
Not so long ago Joseph r. Far

But as ex-Honolulu newspaper
man Edwin G. Burrows, now an
thropology instructor In the Uni
versity of Connecticut, pointed out
in his book, Hawaiian Americans,
the solons who toured the islands
to look into the matter found the
situation well in hand.
In his keen observation of the
'slands' melting pot. Burrows dis
"overed that the japanese, Chinese

he Americans Europeans tool
mingled tremendously despite cul-
tu-al differences. that the Oriental
Americans are fast doing away
with many of their ancestral ways,
and that there is no doubt about
the once-uuestionable LOYALTY of
the Nisei toward the United States.
The author emphasizes the trend
of the Oricntals and the Polvne-
SLAMS to accept the haoles tAmeri-
cans and Europeans) for certain
material progress. but, in doing So
he tends to everyday the haoles'
role In the spiritual movement in
