The History Of Interposition, John Harrison Geiser

Master's Theses

As long as governments, laws and regulations have existed, men have sought means to challenge, circumvent and annul them. Whether honorably or selfishly motivated, only time, the great revelator can prove; and few lessons learned serve to prevent mens thoughts from again straying to these channels or desire.

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A study of the development of the issues in the Hawaiian statehood controversy reveals the paradoxical fact that, while Americans were promoting the mutual interest of Hawaii and the United States, they were also developing a social, economic, and political atmosphere that has resulted in forces inimical to the consummation of a logical realization of Hawaii’s integration as a state. A knowledge of how Hawaii became linked to the United States, and of the institutions developed in the islands prior to annexation in 1898 is essential to an understanding of the contemporary problem.
