Dear Sir: -
  May we take the liberty of calling your attention to the fact that the Pan-Pacific Union which has its head-quarters in Honolulu, has called a second Pan-Pacific Commercial Conference to meet in Los Angeles at some date yet to be fixed late next year.
  As you doubtless know, the first Pan-Pacific Commercial Conference was held in Honolulu in 1922 during a period of adjustment after the great war. Since then tremendous commercial developments have taken place in the countries around the Pacific and it is evident that the commercial arena of the world is rapidly shifting in this direction.
  It seems opportune, therefore, that a second conference of the commercial interests in the countries bordering on the great Pacific Ocean should meet in the near future to discuss some of our mutual problems and hasten the development of the trade and commerce of the many countries bordering on this greatest of all oceans.
  Under separate cover we are sending you a recent copy of "Pan-Pacific Progress" in which you will find an article outlining some of the purposes of the second Pan-Pacific Commercial Conference and giving a skeleton of the proposed agenda for this gathering.
  We have recently had a visit from Governor Wallace R. Farrington, who by virtue of being Governor of Hawaii, is President of the Pan-Pacific Union, and some of the details of the proposed Conference were discussed with him but much remains yet to be worked out. A definite date for the Conference will be decided upon within a short time.
  We desire to call this subject to your earnest attention and enlist your serious thought as to suggestions relative to the problems and program which should be discussed at this conference.
  May we not hear from you along this line?
  With assurance of our high personal regard, we are
           Very truly yours,
        LOS ANGELES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

拝啓、益御清栄奉大賀候、然者ホノルヽ市に本部を置く汎太平洋同盟にては、開会期日は一九二八年に至る迄未定に候得共、羅府に於て第二回汎太平洋商業会議を開催可致事に相成居候
御承知の通り第一回汎太平洋商業会議は、大戦後の善後策時代たる一九二二年に、ホノルヽ市に開催せられ候、爾来太平洋を囲繞する諸国には、非常なる商業発展あり、而して世界の商業舞台は此方面に向つて、急速に移動しつゝある事を明示するに至り候
されば太平洋を囲繞する諸国の商業関係者が、近く第二回の会議を開催し相互間の問題を協議して、此世界最大の大洋を囲繞せる多数の国国の商業、及貿易の促進を計るは正に機宜の策と存候
別便を以て近刊の「太平洋の進歩」と題する一書を送附申上候、右には第二回汎太平洋商業会議の目的、及此会議の議題の概略をも掲載有之候間、御一覧被下度候

本会は右会議に対する閣下の熱心なる御声援を請ふと共に、会議に於て協議せらるべき問題、並に議案に関する真摯なる御意見を拝聴致す事を得ば仕合に御座候、右に関し御返事を賜はる事を得ば幸甚に存候謹んで敬意を奉表候 敬具

  Los Angeles, Cal.
My dear Mr. Matson,
  Your favour of December 15 last year reached me duly. Will you please tell Mr. Arnoll that Viscount Shibusawa retired from his business activities in 1916, ever since giving his time and energy to public works, such as educational, social and

international. He has been long out of touch from actual conditions of business life and feels quite unfit to give out any valuable advice or counsel regarding the enterprise. Of course it is understood that he is deeply interested in it and wishes its success.

  Hoping to be able to see you someday and somewhere, I am
              Yours very sincerely,
