Laws relating to Hawaii passed at the first session of the Sixty- eighth Congress, Dec. 3, 1923-June 7, 1924_________________ 117 Map of HawaiL _________________________________________________ At end REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF HAW All ExECUTIVE CHAMBER, Honolulu, Hawaii, September 12, 1924. The SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR: Srn: The Territory ·of Hawaii continues to enjoy generally pros­ perous conditions. Public health records show gratifying results of safeguards estab­ lished through governmental agencies supported by a splendid spirit of cooperat10n from the people, exercised through philanthropic welfare enterprises. · The sugar crop and the pineapple crop, Hawaii's two main sources of prosperity, were the largest ever produced and marketed at fair figures. It is estimated that the sugar crop for 1924 will be 693,000 tons, representing an approximate value of $85,000,000. The pack of pineapples will be more t~an 6,000,000 cases, valued at ~pproxi­ mately $25,000,000. The yields· from some areas establish new world records and attest the splendid service rendered by the leaders of agricultural industry in the development of scientific management. Public education has maintained the traditionally high standard of Hawaii. The deposits in the savings banks as of June 30, 1924, were $23,238,363.06, the largest in our history. Developing commerce of the Pacific Ocean and the increasing trad_e and travel between ports of Hawaii and of the mainland are evidenced in the increased tonnage-6,899,681 during the past year-entering the harbors of this "Crossroads of the Pacific." The American merchant marine is more de.finitely in evidence on the Pacific than ever before. Combined imports and exports show a gain of 28 per cent over last year's totals. HAWAIIAN HOMES SETTLEMENT Settlement of certain Territorial public lands carried on under the Hawaiian homes law of 1920 has proceeded far enough to warrant the belief ~hat this progra~ of getting the people of Hawaii back to the land gives great pronnse of complete success. Apparently the land speculation is eliminated under this plan, the land will be culti­ vated by citizens, and enough financial assistance is rendered by the government to give the home builder a fair start. Although the number of families placed on the land may appear small, they repre­ sent nearly 300 men, women, and children, and a good share of them have become sufficiently well established to begin making payments <Ai the loans obtained from the revolving fund. If the people carry on as they have begun, this land settlement project will be an out­ standing demonstration that will be helpful toward similar success on the mainland of the United States as well as within this Territory. 1 -2 -4-NNTJAL REPORT OF GOVERNOR OF HAWAII 1924 .

  • Sugar-Coated Fortress: Representations of the Us Military in Hawai'!
    SUGAR-COATED FORTRESS: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE U. S. MILITARY IN HAWAI'!. A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES DECEl\1BER 2004 By Brian Ireland Dissertation Committee: David Stannard, Chairperson Floyd Matson Robert Perkinson Kathy Ferguson Ira Rohter ABSTRACT Hawai'i is the most militarized state in the nation. There has always been opposition to the U.S. military presence in Hawai'i. However, critics ofthe military face a difficult task in getting their message across. Militarism has been so ingrained in Hawai'i that, to a large extent, the U.S. military presence has come to be seen as "natural," necessary, and almost totally beneficial. A result ofthis is that it has become both easy and comfortable to view current militarism in Hawai'i as natural, normal, ordinary, and expected. This dissertation shows how this seemingly normal state of affairs came to be. By examining various representations ofthe U.S. military in Hawai'i - in newspapers, movies, memorials, museums, and military writing - I expose how, in forms ofrepresentation, places ofremembrance, and the construction ofhow we speak and write about the military, militarism becomes the norm and, in turn, silences counter­ narratives. The dissertation examines four distinct time periods, 1778 to 1898 (from Captain Cook to the annexation ofHawai'i by the U.S.), 1898-1927 (the period in which the U.S. consolidated its hold on Hawai'i through cultural imperialism and military build-up), 1927-1969 (which saw the growth ofmass tourism, the Massie Case, the attack on Pearl Harbor, martial law and Statehood), and 1965-present (covering the post-Statehood years, the Vietnam War, increasing militarization ofHawai'i, the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement, and the Ehime Maru tragedy).

  • SHORT HISTORY of the Uss ALHENA, AKA-9 PERIOD
    . ‘ Ax! SHORT HISTORY OF THE U.s.s. ALHENA, AKA-9 PERIOD COVERED June 15, 1941 TO September 15, 1945 151542 PREFACE In this history of the U. S. S. ALHENA it should be borne in mind that, for the most part, she operated with other ships and units of the U. S. Navy. However, for purposes of clarity and better presentation references to other ships have been kept to a minimum. The service of the ALHENA is roughly di- vided into four periods: Atlantic service, Pacific service prior to being torpedoed Pacific service subsequent to being repaired and prior to returning to the United States, and Pacific service since leaving the United States. The following narrative is a general survey of her activities, and detail has been largely ignored. b . 1 . On Jund 15, 1941 the steamship ROBIN KETTERING, original- ly intended for service with the Robin Line, was commissioned as the U. S. S. ALHENA, AK26, with Commander C. E. Hunt, USN, as commanding officer. The commissioning took place in Hobo- ken, New Jersey. Following the commissioning, several weeks were required to make the necessary conversions to fit her for naval use. However, due to the exigencies of the times the conversion was incomplete when the ALHENA began its first trip. The first year of service of the ALHENA was spent, for the most part, in North Atlantic waters. After several trips along the eastern seaboard of the United States, she loaded troops and equipment and set sail for Reykjavik, Iceland. Following her initial overseas trip she made trips to Argentia, Newfound- land, Belfast, Ireland, and Clyde Bank, Scotland, as well as several more trips along the United States coast.
