I cannot speak too highly of the superlative qualities that have made him one of the most highly respected citizens of the State of Hawaii. The eminent regard in which he is held by all the people of the 50th State is reflected in the outpouring of public tributes on the occasion of the latest honor conferred on him. Editorials in the Hawaii newspapers have recalled the rise of this descendant of immigrant parents to his present office as chief justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court. As one of the editorials noted: If the American system made it possible for the son of immigrants to rise- to the heights. consider also how that rise has enriched his community. Judge Tsukiyamas fellow AJAs (Americans of Japanese ancestry) must share his pride in the award. And so do all other Americans of Hawaii who find in it. once again. confirmation of the rightness of equal opportunity for all men.
