they nevertheless seemed to oppose
statehood principally on racial
grounds.
- Yet, some of the strongest support
also came from southerners, parti-

their efforts to the Senate in an eff
fort to help promoters of the mea-
sure achieve a dream-adding ano-
ther star to the flag of the United
States.
Rep. Walter H Judd, (R. Mimi,
described Hawaii as standing at the
crossroads of the Pacific. What we
do about it makes it either an ad-
vance lighthouse of freedom or a
symbol of Disappointing retreat to
The people of Asia who have long
looked to the United States as the.Y
model and inspiration.
although HawaIrs population is
composed of various races, there is
far less racial friction or discrimi-
nation in Hawaii than in many
mainland communities. II is prac-
tically non existent. Hawaii's rec
ord of tolerance in daily life is one
of which every American may be
proud"
Rep. George P. Miller, 3D., Calif)
said that war tested the loyalty of

traction and they were not found

varied ethnic groups that make UP
this nations paradise of the Paci-
fic'"
Repeatedly during the House de-
bate on statehood. the loyalty of the
islands citizens of Japanese ancestry
was brought up.
For example, Rep. Fred Mar
shall, Dem. Mimi, said, "The
charge has been made that Hawaii
may be Communist When state
ments like that are made l wish
we would remember what the peO-
pie of Hawaii have done. l think
the men from Hawaii who fought
the battles in Italy answered that
charge of communism for a good
long time to come"
And Rep. Carl Hinshaw (Rep.
Calif9 referred to that great regi-
ment of Hawaiian Japanese in Italy

japanese origin who live in Hawaii

He said the strong vote should
stand supporters of statehood "in
good stead as we carry our fight to
the Senate. 1t will be hard fight,
too.
Chief Senate opposition is ex-
pected from Senator Hugh Butler,
(R., Neb.), former chairman of the

At the end of the past war, the
father Of an American soldier visited
the area where his son had lost his
life in battle along with hundreds of
others. These included men of many
different nationalities and creed.
AS he wandered in the trenches he
anne upon a crude altar. 1t was in
om parts-and had been erected
by the men fighting in that sector
one for the Christian faith, one for
The Hindus, one for the Moslems.
and one for the Jews It made a pro-
found impression on him and he
hought-if men could join their al
tars after the fighting begins, in
acknowledgment of comradeship and
ommon ideals, why could they not
ioin before-to find a way out of
heir difficulties and declare toge-
Their: War shall not come to this
earth again.
Through the centuries, religion
has seemed to be dividing rather
than a uniting element. The var
iOus religions of the world have
tended to stress disagreements
rather than resemblance and to
insist each on a place of unique
pre-eminence. But when one turns
to the teachings of the great Pro-
phets and Founders themselves,
one finds remarkable identity.
Each stressed the Truth he came
20 teach rather than his own impor-
lance. Each declared his Truth a
refuge from the ills of problems.
Each asserted that this Truth which
ne taught will deliver. Each enumer-
ties over and again the same things
as basic of that Truth or WAY. Diff
erences appear in regard to con-
cepts of God or primal Source in
ideas of creation and the origin of
he universe But on fundamental
principles Of life and character. the
}reat teachers were extraordinarily
II agreement.
The first principle taught by all
was Unity. Every one of our great
teachers preached oneness of life
and interests, brotherhood and in
Independence among men.
They taught LOve-not rivalry
and hate-as the solution of hui
man problems. Love and service to

Macdonald stressed that the Citi-
zens Committee is backing the only
program that will improve the hous-
ing situation in this area.
Opponents of Referendum No. 3
have no interest in what happens to
The low income families of Seattle,
he said Their only objective is to
defeat the $100O0.000 project, even
though 1t would mark this city as
one of the most backward areas in
the United States.
More than 400 cities and towns
are going ahead with new housing
plans. Seattle is the only major
city on the Pacific Coast that has
not yet adopted a program. Port
land, San Francisco, Oakland and
Los Angeles have requested loans
for a total of $4,000 units.
In Oakland, the only other city
where foes of low rent housing have
tried to block the program, an at
'empt to recall three councilmen
who have voted for federal loan
was soundly rebuked last week. The
ecall movement was beaten by vot-
ers Of the Bay community, refusing
= te deceived by the misrepresenta-
ions of low rent opponents
The same forces fighting the low
rent measure here, Macdonald poin-
ed out, are backing the movement
20 abolish all rent controls, in order
to push apartment and home rem
Is here still higher.
Members of minority groups will
be among the chief sufferers here
if Referendum No. loses on Tues
day, Macdonald warned.
Like Yesler Terrace, the 1921 addi-
tjonal units of loW-rent housing will
be open to those of all races. The
only preference is given to veteran
families, regardless of color.
Private enterprise is not offering
standard housing on basis of non
discrimination, Macdonald stated.
Just the opposite.
Better living accommodations will
not be made available to those who
need them most unless the federally
aided program goes through here.
Seattle cannot afford to lose its
share in the low-rent program, es-
pecially as local taxpayers must
bear the cost for it throughout the
remainder of the nation.
Opponents of Referendum No. 3
fail to answer the question as to why
Seattle should pay for decent hous-
ing in other cities and receive none
here.
Nor are they informing home
buyers and private apartment rent
ers how much of the cost Of bill
boards and other expensive mediums
will come out Of their monthly pay
ments.
The bigger the vote in approval
of Referendum No. 3, the closer a
real low-rent program will be to
reality here in Seattle.
MacDonald's last plea to the peo-
ole who need livable abodes is to
turn out and vote next Tuesday
Yank down the yes" lever on
Referendum No. 3, and deal death
blow to the enemies of decent hous-
ing.

all street trees were of a necessity
removed. This bald-headed appear

when the residents plan to make
the street one of the prettiest in

gardeners, are generously giving
their time and labor along with the
residents of the block.
An outgrowth of this face-lift-
ing is a new organization known
as the Maryland Avenue Citizens
Association, with the Rev. F. l.
Cockrell as temporary chairman
Meeting originally to plan the re-
planting of the shade trees and
shrubs on the street, the residents
of Maryland avenue found that
problems of common interest II
the group might be solved through
a citizens organization.
Finding that through this or

been solved, these citizens have
