Biography/History Karl G. Yoneda was born in Glendale, California in 1906 to Japanese immigrant parents. Because of his father's illness, the Yoneda family left the United States for Japan in 1913. During his stay in Japan, Yoneda received his education and was influenced by left-wing and socialist ideas. Escaping from Japanese conscription, he returned alone to the United States in 1926. In the United States he joined the American Communist Party, which launched his career as a labor and union organizer. As a longshoreman by trade, he was affiliated with the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (ILWU), and also served as the vice president and delegate of the Congress of Industrial Organizations Alaskan Cannery Workers Union. He was an editor of ???? Rodo Shinbun [= Japanese labor news] in San Francisco, an official newspaper of the Japanese section of the American Communist Party, and a contributor to ?? Doho, a Japanese American leftist newspaper (a broad united front progressive paper) published in Los Angeles. He was also a poet, publishing poems under several pseudonyms. Karl G. Yoneda papers, LSC.1592 2 1892-1998, bulk 1925-1989 LSC.1592 During World War II, Yoneda and his wife, Elaine Black Yoneda, were interned in the Manzanar War Relocation Center in Independence, California. During incarceration, he served as a block manager and also formed the Manzanar Citizens Federation, which consisted of pro-American and pro-communist internees. Its purpose was to improve camp conditions, initiate leadership education, participate in war efforts, and prepare evacuees for postwar life. In the camp, he volunteered to join the Military Intelligence Service Language School and was enlisted in the Psychological Warfare Team, the United States Office of War Information (OWI), and served for the China-Burma-India Theater. Starting in the late 1960s, Yoneda gave lectures and talks in various classes and programs of academic institutions on the West Coast and in Hawaii. He also authored publications in English and Japanese. In 1999, Yoneda passed away at age 92 in Fort Bragg, California. Scope and Content The collection consists of materials related to Karl Yoneda's involvement in the Japanese American left and labor movement, World War II internment, and the United States Military services. It includes original manuscripts, publications, correspondence, photographs, and photocopied testimonies and investigation case files. Of note are leaflets and newspapers published and distributed by the Japanese Bureau of the American Communist Party, leftist groups, and labor union members between 1923 and 1939. The materials were distributed among Japanese communities in California, Seattle, Alaska, New York, Hawaii, Canada, Japan, and Shanghai for various purposes, including to call for community participation internationally in the political fight against Japanese imperialism and in the support of communists and the Soviet Union, and to advocate improvement of working conditions and higher wages of local labor workers in California. The collection also contains materials related to the internment of Yoneda and his wife, Elaine Black Yoneda, in the Manzanar War Relocation Center. Materials Yoneda collected immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 depict the anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States, while the materials written by Yoneda and/or the Japanese American community groups express their faithful allegiance to the United States. During incarceration, Yoneda served as a block manager as well as a member of the Manzanar Citizens Federation; as a result, this collection also contains Yoneda's reports and letters describing the camp conditions, its organization and administration structure, jobs and wages, activities, and programs. Propaganda materials included in the collection consist of ?? dentan [= airborne leaflets], newspapers, pamphlets, and a military song book produced by the United States Psychological Warfare Team, Office of War Information. The purpose of propaganda materials was to call on Japanese soldiers to surrender in the China-Burma-India Theater between 1944 and 1945. Most of the collection is written in English and Japanese; some Japanese texts are attached with an English synopsis and annotations. A small portion of materials are written in Chinese, Korean, Burmese, and Russian. Organization and Arrangement Arranged in the following series: 1. Communist/Labor Union Activities 2.

  • 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.

In 1851, the first government-sponsored English medium school was established, and by 1854, these schools were competing for and receiving more appropriations than Hawaiian medium schools. 1896, the Republic of Hawaiʻi government enacted a law requiring English as the only medium of instruction in all public and private schools. Hawaiian could be taught as a second language with authorization from the Department of Education. Schools not following the policy were ineligible to receive government funding. By 1902, there were no Hawaiian medium schools in operation.

  • Appendix B: Historical, Social And
    THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Hawaii Modernism Context Study B. Historic, Social and Cultural Influences of the Mid-Twentieth Century in Hawaii B.1 Hawaii and the “Recent Past” The story of the “recent past” focuses on the years between the end of World War II and the beginning to mid 1970s. This was a time of new kinds of architecture and decorative design, new approaches to planning and landscapes and new — even revolutionary— changes in transportation, materials and technologies. The mid to late 20th century was a transformative time throughout the world and of particular importance in the U.S. where the innovations of architectural modernism and openness to new design gave expression to and accelerated social and physical change. The growth of downtowns and suburbs, the dominance of the automobile and the new aesthetics and efficiencies of “modern” architecture fostered a different kind of world from what anyone had experienced before. The spread of modern ideas had a special resonance in Hawaii. A key location in World War II — the site of the war’s beginning at Pearl Harbor and a critical staging area for the War in the Pacific — Hawaii emerged from the war as America’s fledgling experiment in racial and ethnic accommodation. For the first time a U.S. state would be comprised of a “minority majority,” with Asian, Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders outnumbering Caucasian residents by a factor of two to one. Mainland politicians and social critics were aware of Hawaii’s role in this new idea of “coexistence.” For many, success in Hawaii boded success on the mainland as well (or, alternatively, suggested threats to the status quo that lay ahead).
