As Chairman of the Hawaii Statehood Commission I will dedicate mvself to that end. The Commission will, I am certain, gladly accept the help of the Democratic party the Republican party, or of anyone else who is honest and sincere in this great endeavor to seek justice. Let's put the good of the people ahead of all other things, and we'll make Hawaii a better place to live in.

At the same time, such a policy might definitely build needed strength for the Republican party. Faithfully yours, Lorrin P. Thurston (R) P.S. In the meantime a competent special committee of the Statehood Commission has the whole problem under study and will report its findings back tb the entire Commission at a special meeting to be held February 9th. P.P.S.

Contrary to generally accepted thinking, I agree with Senator Clinton Anderson (D) of New Mexico when he stated recently he felt that Hawaii faces its greatest opportunity to secure Statehood in this present session of Congress. That you do not understand the situation, nor agree with those sentiments, is apparent. It will go into this situation more fully within the near future in the hope that you and other good Republicans will develop some enthusiasm take off your coats and help! ment would be regarded as a junket. It was, and caused a great deal of criticism to the effect that a great deal more money had been spent than was justified. I do not recall that you damned him as being biased or guilty of partisanship because he expressed his own honest convictions.

Along another line, our defeated Republican Delegate to Congress has made good her threat, made during i rrf to not make available any of her records or valuable files on Statehood matters or any other unfinished public business to the new delegate or for the benefit of the people of Hawaii or the Statehood Commission. I would like to ask you personally, as titular head of the Republican party, if you approved of action? Could it not be truly classified as partisan politics? To adopt this action was her legal right, 1 am informed but I challenge of the moral principles, because it is the business and welfare of the people of Hawaii which is involved. If the Territorial Republican party's policy is "We are for Statehood only if we are in power, and can gain the glory of achievement" I feel that your and my party is partisan, selfish and biased. It bespeaks the uninspired Republican leadership which has caused the Democratic party of Hawaii to achieve the leadership of our Territorial Legislature. It forecasts greater Republican party losses in the future.
