...argument was not merely an academic exercise involving a minority party. A Gallup poll last week in the London News Chronicle shows the Tories have lost sharply in recent months; if an election were held now, the Labor Party would get 48% of the vote, Churchill's Tories only 42%. If and when Labor came to power, the opinions, prejudices and rationalizations of Labor's touring troubadours could have disturbing consequences for everybody...

Both major political party platforms and nearly 90 percent of the nation's editors have endorsed statehood, along with numerous national, civic and business organizations. The latest Gallup Poll survey (1953) shows nearly a 10-to-1 majority in favor of admitting Hawaii into the Union...
