[excerpt] Hawaii faces even tougher opposition than Alaska, notably from race-conscious southern Democrats who are aware that less than a quarter of Hawaii's population is white.
The arguments for Hawaiian statehood, which have three times persuaded the House, are just as valid as ever (and the arguments against, mostly racial, are just as invalid). The problem is strictly one of congressional politics. When it appeared that Alaska's case would meet less southern opposition, Hawaii graciously stood aside, invoking what Delegate John Burns called "the golden rule ... to clear the track" for Alaska. The tactic worked. Now Hawaiians--with support from grateful Alaskans--are pressing their own claim in this same session.This session could scarcely spend its dwindling hours on a better cause. The main difficulty--the Communism-Harry Bridges Issue which Senator Eastland brought up in 1956--was and is grossly exaggerated, and can be as well handled with Hawaii a state as with a territory.
The foreign policy argument was well put by Burns: "the citizens of Hawaii, that new man in the Pacific, will be our most effective bridge to the Asian world."
Brilliant comment, seems Hawaii would have fitted right in there with the attendees of the BANDUNG CONFERENCE held in Indonesia - which the associate of Frank Marshall Davis, RICHARD WRIGHT attended...and of which Malcolm X often spoke in various speeches.
Thanks for responding so quickly to my suggestion that an effort should be made to find the 1958 or 1959 “American magazine” that changed the world by enticing BHO Sr. to come to HI! It is also entirely possible that his move to Hawaii was coordinated by the KGB as Obama moves quickly to align himself with KGB front ILWU in Hawaii.
The ObamaFile has this link to Cliff Kincaid's detailed analysis of Obama links to Commies in Hawaii:

The Soviet KGB aligned Harry Bridges link to Hawaii longshoreman's union is fascinating and Obama Sr. was written up speaking before a rally sponsored by that union denouncing US policy in Vietnam. SADO and Barry were conveniently in Seattle at the time avoiding embarrassment for the prominent Marxist exchange student. Any suggestion that the FBI or CIA would be incompetent enough to recruit any of the Dunhams or Obamas is not credible to me, based on my experience obtaining my security clearance.

"Barack Obama (senior) was one of the featured speakers at a Mothers Peace Rally in Ala Moana Park on Sunday May 13, 1962. ILWU leaders, including Jack Hall, joined the march and rally. Obama, an African student from Kenya studying economics at the University of Hawaii Afro-American Affairs Institute, told the crowd of 350, Anything which relieves military spending will help us...Peace will release great resources...
"The march for peace was featured in the May 18, 1962 issue of the VOICE OF THE ILWU. Other speakers included Patsy Mink, Thomas Gill, Ralph Vanderslice, Rev. Nicolas Dizon, Rev. Seikan Higra, Rabbi Roy Rosenberg, Rev. Delwyn Rayson, and Dr. John Mollet.
"The ILWU was opposed to the escalating US involvement in Vietnam and held many activities to educate its members and the public.
"Barack Obama Senior had married Ann Dunham in February 1961 and Barack Junior, who was born on August 4, 1961, would have been 10 months old at the time.
"Barack Senior came to Hawaii in 1959 with a scholarship sponsored by Kenyan nationalists to educate gifted Kenyan students as the country fought for independence from British Colonial rule."
Note how Harry Bridges followed the Soviet policy reverses perfectly in the lead-up to and beginning of WWII:
From Wiki:
“Harry Bridges (July 28, 1901March 30, 1990) was an influential Australian-American union leader, in the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), a longshore (dock) and warehouse workers’ union on the West Coast, Hawaii and Alaska which he helped form and led for over 40 years. As controversial as he was charismatic, he was prosecuted by the US government during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, and was convicted by a federal jury of having lied about his Communist Party membership, which the Supreme Court ultimately overturned in 1953.”
“Bridges hewed to the Communist Party line throughout the late 1930s and 1940s. After the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed in 1939, the party attacked Roosevelt and Churchill as warmongers and adopted the slogan “The Yanks Ain't Coming”, Bridges denounced Roosevelt for betraying labor and preparing for war. John L. Lewis, the head of the CIO, responded by abolishing the position of West Coast director of the CIO, limiting Bridges’ authority to California, in October 1939.”
“Bridges soon took the union in a wholly different direction after Hitler attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941. Having opposed the United States’ entry into the war, Bridges now urged employers to increase productivity in order to prepare for war.”
