Author Description

Excerpt from The Survey, Vol. 68: April 1932-December 1932 Cities, like people, need to be understood. Cities contain people. The collective expressions of their personalities give that atmosphere which distinguishes one from another. The beauty and charm of Hawaii rest only in part on its gifts of nature - even more on a combination of racial sympathies and understandings not excelled in the world. Cities, like people, are subject to criticism and condemnation. Rarely are they judged with full knowledge of the facts. Hawaii and Honolulu learned this to their dismay after the recent storm of condemnation directed at them from the mainland.
