the association success and (naouragcd us
to curry on.
I take xlcasurc in introducing to the
Filiriuo community Miss Martha Yamashita,
butter known as 'lasm.‘ You, that hay.
ch;r mot hor tut who hav heard what shu
is to its Filipino rcoyl; of Srum.rton,
will hd surrriscd to learn that this
chsrmin; 'oung lady is aPtiY¢ in all 2f
fairs of iiliginos in the Bremerton fili—
yino community. Words cannot ex}ress how
deeply we nyprceiote her efforts and in
terest shown us in the gast yoars. As
chairman of th; finance committee of the
Liznl fay cclohrstion in 19?“, she has
shown her ability as a leader and a hun—
dred per cent Filirino in s;irit. 7hr:
her efforts and at.lity the Filipinos of
Bremerton had a successful hizel Day cele
bration. She is regarded highly by us and
has endeared herself to us that we learn
to call her the true friend of the Filip—
inos. Yes, folks, she is single and ‘ust
eighteen summers, hut—--she is enqared to
her career, reogle. and country. May her
wishes come true and more power to her.
The following was hcr speech given at
the dinner:
'Laiies and Jentlcmen:
“I an exceedingly rroud that you were
inspired hy circumstances and environment
to form an association with such an ambi—
tions and admiratle platform as you hove
before you.
“We understand definitely thot the be—
nefit of this associotion is not for one
individual but for the common good of all
Filipinos not only in this oommunit and
district, but for the whole United étatss.
Why, you may nsl, for the whole United
States? Pucause tr leava the marks of da
tcrminntion and effort in onc section of t
the country is bound to bring out the
sturlinz qualities of your great race be
fore tho watchful eye: of tho Am.rioan
people.
. 'Thc most vital thing by which you
must be guided and by which you must ad—
here to constantly and faithfully is unity.
With unity as your policy, you cannot but
succeed in your efforts. You onnnot‘ques-
tion the results of our endeavors, for
they shall not be other than a success.
Is it not known the world over, universal—
ly, that "United wo stand, dovided we fall"
T are is no doubt as to its truths for it
has been provon scores and scores of times
down thru the agos. Have not great indivi
duals, groat monarchs, and great empires
boon vanquished bcoausc of the morn lack
of unity? Such is the position of the
task which now confronts you, my friends.
You must be united unanimously to the
samc principles by thy same determination
and identical aims before you can oontem—
plate your success. Succoss will manifsst
its-1f if only y:u will resolvo to ksap
before you the faot that in unity than is
strungt .'
“In concluding, I wish to aa that I
have thu most sincere faith and {ope that
you will all do your best for the common
cause. Ono successful association aftzr
anothor, building up on: uron tho other,
will finally bring you to your much-desir
od qoal and most oovoted and, independence
of your baloved country, tho fhilippinos.
I thank you.“
