...called Hawaiian on the maps and in the histories, the original Hawaiian stock constitutes less than 10% of the island population. The most recent official figures on Hawaii (the Federal Census of 1920) gave the Islands a population of 255,912. This population was divided into 13 racial groups, of which the Japanese, with 109,274 outnumbered any other single group by a ratio of about 4 to 1. The present population of the Islands is estimated at something more than 300,000, of whom more than 120,000 are Japanese...
Thus about 40% of the population is isolated in a compact, race-conscious, difficult-to-assimilate group which is almost totally disenfranchised.

Tomkinson, said: "This will be a team and not just four players. ... All of England is behind us and it is a united effort All the players are fit and well and quite ready to begin playing fast games as soon as the ponies...
Less solemn than this, more comical was the letter sent Mr. Ford by airmail from the Welcoming Committee of the Rockaway Chamber of Commerce. The Rockaways are a group of up-&-doing suburbs of New York. Charles A. Levine, transatlantic flyer, has friends there, and it is to do him honor when he returns from Europe that the Welcoming Committee is functioning. Its Chairman, shrewd Richard M. Gipson, wrote Mr. Ford: "At this time, when you have magnanimously attested your faith in the Jewish people, it would seem fitting that you should be present at the banquet to be held...
