Ka Wai Ola - Office of Hawaiian Affairs, 1 January 1984 — EDITOR'S NOTE [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]
EDITOR'S NOTE
Editor's note: The following article represents the views of the author and does not necessarily represent the views of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Mr. Miles writes that his article "was triggered by a full page article in the Honolulu Advertiser (Feb. 14, 1983)" . . . whieh "made it appear that Authoress Helene Allen (The Betrayal of Liliuokalani) - after extensive research - found that the United States
was not responsible for overthrowing the Queen." Although Mr. Miles' full article is too lengthy to reproduce in total in KA WAl OLA, it covered three areas: John L. Stevens role in the overthrow; the United States government plans for the control of Hawaii for defense purposes; and American eomplicity in the overthrow of 1983. The following text is excerpted from the concluding part of his article.
