Description | Cartoon shows an eager Senator (labeled "Senate Sub-Committee") carrying a suitcase labeled "Statehood for Hawaii?" setting off for the islands thinking of a beautiful girl dancing the hula in a grass skirt. A disgruntled Congressman (labeled "The House") wonders why he didn't think of the same thing. Pokes fun at the news that a Senate committee was considering visiting Hawaii to see if the area was ready for statehood. The House had voted enabling legislation on March 10, 1953, but the Senate failed to take action. |
