The Associated Filipino Oriental Press is a marvelous newspaper because it brings the Oriental and the American people in closer contact with each other. It helps to overcome distinctions of color, race, or creed and also creates a better understanding between the United States and the Orient. It gives the American people a better knowledge of the Filipinos.

The paper is an unbiased political one. Its motive is to "promote friendliness and goodwill." With this motive in mind, the paper is and will be a success. This paper gives the news of the day from an unselfish point of view.

In conclusion, I wish the Associated Filipino Oriental Press continued success throughout the coming year.
