There are between 300.000 and 400.000 Polynesians on the earth today. They include. among others. the Samoans. a large group of whom have lived under our flag for more than half a century. But they are racially ineligible to citizenship. So the young man who is half Cook Islander cannot become naturalized regardless of anything he did. The enactment of the bill will correct that. It will remove all the racial restrictions in our immigration laws. On December 7. 1941. every doctor in Hawaii was immediately called into service. Among them was one of our outstanding physicians. a man who had lived and practiced successfully in Hawaii for many years.
