The city of the future will have a better sense of its natural limits: it will attempt to make the most of what it has, rather than to evade its actual difficulties and its actual deterioration by encouraging its popula- tion to move out to the outskirts and permit the interi- ors to become more completely blighted.

  • Honouliuli's Pows
    Honouliuli’s POWs: Making Connections, Generating Changes Suzanne Falgout ABSTRACT Immediately adjacent to Honouliuli’s internment camp was HawaiTs larg­ est prisoner of war camp. It housed as many as 4,000 or more Japanese, Okinawans, Koreans, and Filipinos sent from various locations in the Pacific Theater, plus Italians picked up from the Atlantic Theater. The Camp served as an important base camp and also as a main transit point for those sent to destinations on the US mainland. Although framed within wider Geneva Convention and US military guidelines for the humane treatment of prisoners, conditions of imprisonment differed significantly from one group to another and also changed over time. Those differences were largely dependent on ethnic backgrounds, wartime political statuses, and the reputations of various POW groups. They were also significantly affected by connections made between POWs and the US military, some with internees of their own ethnic groups in the camp, and especially with members of the local community. This paper examines those varying conditions of imprisonment. It also describes the significance of transnational, national, and local connections made by Honouliuli’s POWs.

  • Kulaokahu'a and Thomas Square: from Boom to Bust to Now
    RICHARD A. GREER Kulaokahu'a and Thomas Square: From Boom to Bust to Now THE BEGINNINGS WHEN NEED MEETS GREED is not an inspiring concept, but it can be a great motivator. In the case at hand, need came first. John Ricord, the Attorney General reported in May 1845 that the Con- stitution of 1840 authorized organization of a complete govern- ment and framing of civil and criminal codes. Acts to establish an executive ministry, executive departments, and a judicial depart- ment followed in 1845-1847.1 The governmental machinery thus engineered required the usual lubricant: taxpayer sweat. Doctor Gerrit P. Judd, then in charge of finance, projected a treasury shortfall of $10,000 (expenses $80,000, revenue $70,000) for 1845. His recommendations for raising cash illuminated the times: increase import duties from three to five percent, ad valorem; abol- ish the half poll tax; tax mules, horses, and (biological) asses; issue certificates of nationality, to be renewed annually, to all for- eigners living permanently under the laws of Hawai'i; appoint a commission to look into the validity of land and house titles, issu- ing new titles where justified, and charge for same; use stamped paper for legal transactions; have a graduated duty on all prop- erty got by inheritance or bequest; allow sale of land to His Maj- esty's subjects as freehold property, charging for titles or transfers of titles; review, if not abolish, land and labor taxes.2 There was a clear need for more.
