Asia. March 1921

1921

James McCutcheon & Company Fifth Avenue 34th and 33d Streets New York THE AMERICAN ASIATIC ASSOCIATION THE PURPOSE of The American Asiatic Association is— "To contribute to a satisfactory adjusment of the relations between Asiatic countries and the rest of the world by the removal of sources of misunderstanding and the dissipation of ignorant prejudices; and to cooperate with all other agenci [...] Come with us to the far-off South Sea Islands not only to Tahiti but to New Guinea Samoa the New Hebrides the Gilbert Islands in the Special South Sea Number of AS IA The American MAGAZINE on the Orient The April issue will contain the following contributions: "The Tiare Hotel"— by Frederick O'Brien — author of "White Shadows in the South Seas".
