  • German Sugar's Sticky Fingers Frederick Bernays Wiener Overshadowed by Aloha Tower, and on the Site of One of the Twin 21-Story
    German Sugar's Sticky Fingers Frederick Bernays Wiener Overshadowed by Aloha Tower, and on the site of one of the twin 21-story Amfac Towers on the Fort Street Mall, there originated one of the most memorable and unusual incidents of Hawaiian history. Amfac Inc., now a billion dollar conglomerate, is the successor at one remove to Hackfeld & Co. Ltd., which prior to 1918 was the center of German influence in the Pacific. Seized by the Alien Property Custodian in that year, Hackfeld & Co. was sold to a new group, American Factors Ltd. Beginning in 1920, the expropriated former stockholders recovered some or all of their seized property, after which they sued the purchasers, contending that the sale price fixed in 1918 had been grossly inadequate, that it was the result of a business conspiracy masquerading as patriotism. After eight years of struggle in the courts, where all their contentions were rejected, some of the former stockholders then sought to recoup their claimed losses from the United States Government. In the course of defending those new proceedings, the Government embarked on a relentless search, laboriously assembling and arranging bits and pieces of evidence from many persons in widely scattered places. Subsequently the United States established in those and further lawsuits, extending over another nine years, that the principal earlier recoveries had involved extensive and artfully contrived frauds; that a subordinate official, whose apparently fortuitous appearance on the scene was actually of determinative weight, had earlier been corrupted; and that two future Chief Justices of the United States, Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes and Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone, had each made a controlling mistake of law.
