BEECHERT AND EDWARD D. BEECHERT Koji Ariyoshi was born and raised in the coffee growing area of Kona on the Big Island of Hawai'i. This background was a major force in shaping his ideas about society and the economy. His education in the Kona schools, the University of Hawai'i, the University of Georgia, his work experience on the docks of Honolulu and San Francisco, and his experiences in the United States Army in Yenan, China, served to focus the sense of independence and dignity evident in his writings. A glimpse of the importance of this background in shaping Ariyoshi’s sense of justice is seen in a column in the final edition of the Honolulu Record where he recalled watching the arrival of the 1924 Filipino strikers in Kona: I remember as a kid standing on the dusty roads by Marumoto store at Captain Cook, Kona, as a couple of huge trucks packed with men, women and children came to a stop. These were the Filipino strikers who had been evicted from their homes by the sugar plantations.. We soon hired a few of the strikers on our coffee farm and they lived with us. Mother opened credit for them at the cof­ fee company store and helped them through their initial difficult period.1 While a student at the University of Hawai'i, Koji wrote a series of twenty-four articles on stevedoring on the Honolulu docks. As the H onolulu Star Bulletin said in its announcement of the series, Ariyoshi attended the University by day and “continues his stevedoring at night. Ariyoshi within the past year has picked up the inside story of stevedoring and will tell it in the Star Bulletin."1 The series clearly indicates the pattern and tone of Ariyoshi’s later writings in the Honolulu Record. Another series of Star B u lletin articles ranging over the years 1937—1939 graphically described the plight o f the Kona coffee farmers and their crushing burden of debt, and the draconian treatment by the credit merchants. The identification of Ariyoshi with the exploited farmers of Kona was evident in his admission to the University of Georgia, where he was awarded a scholarship in jour­ nalism. There he took time to investigate the realities of working-class Georgia, the “Tobacco Road,” with the help of Erskine Caldwell’s parents. viii The Political Memoirs of Koji Ariyoshi Before 1935 and the passage of the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act), criminal trespass laws and criminal syndicalism laws made labor organizing a hazardous occupation.3 Hawai'i, like most of the states, had enacted laws restricting free speech, and particularly, labor organizing and union activities. The New Deal, with its promises of improvement for the common man, was viewed with some skepticism among Hawai'i’s workers. Charges of misuse of Works Progress Administration (WPA) workers by assigning them to plantation work confirmed the decades long distrust of the political establishment. When Jack Hall began organizing plantation workers on Kaua'i in 1937, he faced a climate of fear and suspicion of haoles (Caucasians). “Weigh the picture,” Ariyoshi said in a 1967 interview, “the 1909 strike, 1920, 1924, 1937, with people starving— these were vivid memories of the total loss possible. For the majority of people there was no margin— no existence outside the plantation. All the strikes seemed to have failed, with people removed from the plantation— exiled with a loss of pride.”4 The decision in 1938 to greatly enlarge Hawai'i’s military defense accelerated the changes brought about by the Depression. Thousands of new, high-paying jobs were created by the need to expand Pearl Harbor and related facilities. Plantation workers flooded into the jobs, which paid, for Hawai'i, un­ heard of wages. The consortium of mainland contractors was long accus­ tomed to paying union wages on such projects. Both the high wages and an influx of unionized construction workers from the mainland helped to cre­ ate a new mood in Hawai'i’s working class population. One of Koji’s Kona High School classmates, working as a carpenter at Pearl Harbor, first learned of the existence of Hawai'i’s Carpenters Union from a mainland worker anxious to deposit his union card at the local office to maintain his retirement and disability benefits. The union, chartered in 1901, was large­ ly unknown to the cottage builders and the many carpenters working on the plantations.5 Before World War II, Hawai'i was largely a two-class society— a small, self-perpetuating ruling elite closely allied with the large military presence in Hawai'i, and a large, low income, plantation laboring class. As a conse­ quence of World War II, Hawai'i underwent a veritable revolution in both its economy and its political structure. Since the end of the war, indus­ try-wide strikes in the basic industries of sugar, pineapple, and longshore trade had upset the traditional, oligarchical structure that had dominated Hawai'i since the formation of a western-style government in 1850.6 The International Longshoremen’s and Warehousemen’s Union7 (ILWU) was a primary instrument in changing the thinking of Hawai'i’s Introduction IX workers. The democratic structure of the union gave workers the opportu­ nity for leadership in their plantation communities. The capacity of the plantation workers for effective leadership was the key to success in the 1946 sugar strike. In effect, this created a new, larger community for the workers, replacing the oligarchic organization which had dominated the plantations: “There were many possibilities of recognition. A hoe-hana (weeding) man could be a unit leader. The abolition of perquisites made people more independent. The union provided a sense of community, par­ ticularly for the Filipinos.”8 By 1948, Ariyoshi judged the time was ripe for a labor-oriented news­ paper which would expose the oligarchical nature of the Hawaiian political economy, and serve to bolster the growing labor movement. Five-dollar shares were sold to the growing labor community and urban liberals. John Reinecke and Dwight James Freeman were especially active in increasing the circulation of the paper among plantation workers in the Neighbor Islands of Kaua'i, Maui, and Hawai'i.

In response to a request by Hawaii's state Legislature, the Legislative Reference Bureau sought to prepare anhistoricalsurvey of public land policies and practices of the federal and state governments and to give particular emphasis to a review and analysis of land policy in Hawaii from 1893 to the present. Three major monographs were prepared in response to this request: Hawaii's Public Land Laws: 1897-1963 (1963); Land Exchanges (1964); and The Multiple-Use Approach (1965).

    PAU PAGE 224 11=15-14 1778 ROAD TO STATEHOOD 1959 The following is quoted from www.freehawaii.org: History 1 - The Beginning to Pa‘ao All quotes, unless otherwise noted, are taken from Daniel Kikawa's excellent book, Perpetuated in Righteousness. The language of the Polynesian peoples is basically one language, the missionary translators who first assigned a written spelling for the different island groups, heard the words differently and represented these sounds that they heard with different letters. For instance the Hawaiian word for 'woman' is wahine (vah-hee-nee), the Tongan word for 'woman' is fahine (fah-hee-nee). Much like the differences between American English and British English - there is understanding but differences in accents and idioms. So, the oral traditions of the Polynesian peoples, with minor differences, give a remarkably similar account of their history and beliefs. There are Polynesians today, who can recite their lineage back to one common ancestor. Here are some excerpts from those accounts. Note that these predate the coming of the missionaries and were not influenced by Biblical record. These legends include stories from Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Marquesa and the Maori of New Zealand. Fornander (leading foreign source of Hawaiian history) said, ". I learned that the ancient Hawaiians at one time worshipped one god, comprised of three beings, and respectively called Kane, Ku and Lono, equal in nature, but distinctive in attributes..." This Polynesian god had many titles, but one name, too holy to be mentioned in casual conversation and this name was`Io. The first group of Proto-polynesians probably left the middle east around BC 2300, about the time of the tower of Babel heading toward Sumatra.

Copyright, 1930, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Limited Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii. U.S.A. FOREWORD “ EN OF HAWAII,’ is the fourth volume of bio­ graphical records in the regular series which has been published, beginning with l9l7, by The Honolulu Star­ Bulletin. This series aims to make available for the present, and to preserve for the future, the life stories of leaders in various fields of the Hawaiian Islands. It is a history of community and territorial progress, told in the form of biographical sketches, and the steady demand for the editions of previous years has abundantly illustrated its interest and its value. Both as a record of enterprise and achievement, and as a compilation of chronological facts, “Nlen of Hawaii" has be­ -comea standard reference work in Hawaii and abroad. Copies are sent all over the world. Libraries in distant cities call for the succeeding editions. Locally, the book is constantly in use. This book is Volume IV of “lVlen of Hawaii.” The first edition was in l9l7, the second in l9Zl, the third in I925. To a certain degree the present edition supplements and com­ plements “Builders of Hawaii” U925), with which was incorporated that year’s edition of ‘‘Men of Hawaii.” For the broadest coverage of Hawaiian biographical record, "Builders of Hawaii" and this l930 edition of ‘‘Men of Hawaii" should be treated as one work, and so maintained in reference libraries.

  • The Evolving Us Intelligence Regime and the Chinese
    IMPROVISING TRADECRAFT: THE EVOLVING U.S. INTELLIGENCE REGIME AND THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY IN THE 1940S Sara Bush Castro A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Michael Tsin Joseph Caddell Michael Hunt Michelle King Wayne E. Lee © 2016 Sara Bush Castro ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sara Bush Castro: Improvising Tradecraft: The Evolving U.S. Intelligence Regime and the Chinese Communist Party in the 1940s (Under the direction of Michael Tsin) The activities of U.S. intelligence officials in China’s Communist base areas in the 1940s reveal that the underdevelopment of the U.S. national security bureaucracy before World War II impeded the ability of accurate and timely intelligence about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to reach U.S. policymakers. Structural deficiencies in U.S. intelligence practices affected U.S. foreign relations, including U.S.-China relations, in ways historians have failed to appreciate. Because widespread anti-Communist sentiment had significant consequences for postwar U.S. strategic behavior, historians of twentieth-century U.S.-China relations have generally assumed anti-Communism was the most important factor shaping U.S. intelligence about the CCP in the 1940s. Actually, inefficiency in the U.S. intelligence process as a result of inexperienced personnel, interagency friction, and abrupt expansion under the Truman administration were equally, if not more, influential on the content of U.S. intelligence on the CCP. American intelligence collection about the CCP in the 1940s, particularly at Yan’an, where the United States maintained a delegation of intelligence personnel known as the “Dixie Mission,” showcases inherent vulnerabilities in U.S.
