Hawaii has a superior system. The people have a democratic spirit and a capacity for harmonious cooperation among the various racial groups which I think may well be the envy and model of the world. If it be our desire. as I think it should be. to bid for the good will of the Asiatic peoples. a good will which our conduct has very seriously impaired in recent years. I think there is no better way to start rebuilding that good will than by admitting Hawaii to the Union. Actually. the only argument against the admission of Hawaii into the Union is based on what seems to me a fairly low form of racismbecause a good many of the people of Hawaii are not pureblooded Caucasians.
