Marine OUT AFTER TOURISTS Continued from Fag: 9) created as above outlined would pro vide a sufficient sum to make an effec tive campaign that must produce 'good results, with reasonable tact and care in expenditure. We recommend that if the above can be agreed upon there should be established, with headquar ters at Honolulu, a permanent and effi cient Bureau of Information to be gov ernel and controlled by either a joint committee or a board of directors to be elected from the several prominent as sociations end chambers connected with this movement, and to include one or two others from the community at large. No member, however, should be elected to this directorate who is not recognized either as an enthusiastic supporter of this movement or a believ er in its possibilities. We recommend that a suitable office in an available and accessible place be maintained in charge of a competent secretary, and through this office all the business of this Bureau be transacted, including the sending of special agents, should such be determined upon by the Board of Control. This, it seems to your Committee, would be ample guarantee to your subscribers as to the proper and careful handling of funds. Your Committee cannot, therefore, in view of the above recommendation, advise the expense of any proposal forppe cial services that may now be before the Association, for the reason that such matters would be properly subject for consideration by- the Bureau of In formation. Now, as to the difficulties referred to above, your Committee feel that at present a comparative few have given this subject the consideration necessary to convince them of the possibility of the project in hand, and we suggest if necessary every member of this Asso ciation constitute himself a committee to talk it up and convince the skepti cal. There has been in the past in all directions a deeply-rooted idea that everything depends upon sugar, and that nothing can be profitably done outside of the industry: For the pur pose of argument we will for the pres ent admit this proposition, but we con tend that there was never a time when oyr oqly industry needed support and impetus as at present, and we suggest that if f.OOO tourists per annum were visiting our shores there would be suf ficient of the wealthier classes among them who would become interested in our securities, more particularly our bonded stocks, to obviate a necessity which we have all observed of our capitalists visiting the United States for the purpose of raising funds neces sary to carry on the plantations. Thus, if we are correct, the amount subscrib ed by the plantation interests to this fund would not exceed that expended by the enforced traveling and other expenses now incurred by the represen tatives of various enterprises who are frequently sent forward on financial quests. We submit, further, that it is good business for the planter to expend an nually, in the endeavor to increase the value of his holdings by creating a de mand for his securities and thus bring ing his stocks to par, a sum not ex ceeding 5 per cent of what he has al ready expended in the effort to obtain a reduction in the price of labor by in troducing an oversupply of Asiatics, and with equally good prospective re sults. Incidentally we may mention that it takes eighteen months to pro duce a crop of sugar, whereas with proper efforts we should be able to realize a commencement of steady and increasing tourist travel in from three to six months. Because previous ef forts, that have not had popular sup port may not have met complete suc cess, it is no argument why our pres ent 'undertaking, with the endorsement of tha majority of influential interests, will not succeed permanently. We desire to draw the attention of this Association to the great damage that may result to this project from the publication, either here or on the Pacific Coast, of cartoons or literature that utterly misrepresent conditions in Hawaii to our great detriment. While we in no wise recommend unreasonable restriction of correct and proper news or information we deprecate and con demn the apparent desire of certain correspondents In our midst who, for the sake of a sensational write-up, have been in the past in the habit of writing articles of a character that can only injure us and retard any efforts that may be made. So far as the local press is concerned, we submit that It is absolutely within the power of the Ho nolulu merchants to insist upon rea sonable restrictions in this respect, and we feel that a proper representation through our Bureau to the San Fran cisco editors, pointing out that our success securing tourist travel must be, necessarily, also to their advantage would have good results. Your Com mittee cannot condemn too harshly any wanton efforts or careless writing un substantiated by fact that will retard the object now under consideration by this Association. In conclusion we beg to point out that during the past five years many millions of dollars have been invested in these Islands in various enterprises, but not as many hundreds contributed for the purpose ' of inducing tourist travel, and that whatever small amounts may have been expended for this purpose has been contributed by individual and private interests, and has been largely ineffective, for the reason that it could not possibly cover sufiieient ground. From every point of view, therefore, we contend that this project should have universal support of the population of these Islands. The time is oprcrtune. in view of the cer tainty of our having a cable at an early, date, the want of which has in the past prevented many of the most desirable! visitors irom considering a trip o tia- , wail even as k possibility. ' If the mat ter cannot be taken up substantially and strongly your Committee cannot see the utility of any .- more dabbling with the subject We recommend in a word, "Let us have tourists: let us go about it in the only war thkt will in sure success.".
