As the group felt that a week's tire would be sufficient to fill out<br />
the form, Hr. Isherwocd said that he would have it mimeographed this after-<br />
Rooa and nail it out toicorrow* This woiild be strictly in the nature of<br />
a confidential survey. IJe will Just compile the inforcaticn and will not<br />
release it to anyone. We are Just interested in totals.<br />
UP. Douglass stated that the Hawaiian Princess is due here next Monday<br />
nhieh appears to be the last of the mainland freight to be arriving in the<br />
Islands. After that, nothing is in sight. Since he vms on vacation all<br />
Meek, he did not really know hew much goods were coming in for this island<br />
but he said it would probably be a ssaller than normal arrival*<br />
Should the strike continue, even if there is an increase in the cost<br />
to the custciaer, goods can be brought in by air.<br />
Mr. Douglass said that Eastern and Gulf ports are not affected and<br />
also fro7en meats from Hew Zealand. These come in to Honolulu and are<br />
barged over.<br />
Mr. Isherwood said that the State Civil Defense office has an organi-<br />
sation on Oahu similar to what we have here although he has not heard anything<br />
official fron State CD about a food survey being taken there. However, he<br />
gathered fron the newspapers that a survey had been made.<br />
If anycne should ask, Hr. Kaneshiro suggested telling them that the<br />
situation is fine and that there are asple supplies, llr. Isherwood said<br />
should he be asked, he would inform them that the merchants are aware of<br />
the situation and that they are doing whatever they can at the present<br />
tlias. Mr. Kaneshiro added that if we frighten the people, then the rush<br />
will start and the people will tend to hoard. Sight now there is no run<br />
for rice, ^^.th the amount of rice that has already come in, there is about<br />
three months' supply on this island.<br />
Mr. Isherwood stated that there is not enough beef produced locally<br />
to meet our normal demands but if we do not ship it seme other place, there<br />
could be enough. Pork may be in the same situation. \!e do get frozen lamb<br />
from Australia and New Zealand. He asked the group whether the fresh and<br />
frozen meats should be included in the inventory since he was thinking of<br />
World V^ II when there was no shipping within the islands.<br />
Mr. Kaeda thought that the meats should be included in the inventory<br />
as 50 percent of the beef in Honolulu c^as in from the outside.<br />
Kr. Isherwood said under the category ''Fresh and Frozen Meats" on the<br />
Inventory form, he would specify "Poultry," • Lamb," ''Pork,-- and "Beef."<br />
There were no other suggestions and the form was acceptable to the<br />
group.<br />
