Interesting story I was not aware of. Thanks. The Japanese in Hawaii were seen as a threat, and there was much spy activity going on. The US Government even issued special money for the islands marked HAWAII so if the island were taken they could make that money worthless. There were just too many Japanese on the island to inter them so they just tried to keep on eye on them.

Yeah, it's a tidbit nobody ever really brings up for some reason
