Khrushchev is shouting vigorously because the free world has called attention to the captive nations behind the Iron Curtain. as signalized by Captive Nations Week. under a resolution passed by Congress and a proclamation issued by the President. it is very interesting juxtaposition for the people of the world to see how we deal with our former possession. Not only has Hawaii been given equal standing with every other State in the United States. notwithstanding the couple of thousand of miles of water which separate Hawaii from the mainland. but also we are accepting into the Senate of the United States. without question. men or women regardless of their racial origin or background. Alsoand I say this with some heaviness of heartI hope that we will be joined by the new Senator. who is an excellent example. in his own person. of what can be produced in America. in an effort to undo the discrimination against Asiatics which exists in the McCarranWalter Act. which fixes a separate quota for people. no matter whence they come. if they are of 50 percent Asiatic blood. That would probably apply to Mr. FONG himself. were he not himself a citizen of the United States.
