Numerical Studies Pertaining to Airflow on the West Coast of the U.S. FY97 Annual Report

The U.S. healthcare system has been subject to unprecedented scrutiny over the past three years; one of the results of this scrutiny has been recognition of the serious problems that exist in both healthcare delivery and reimbursement mechanisms. While the verbal debate in Washington has essentially ceased, within the healthcare community a historic shift has taken place in the way healthcare reimbursement is structured: increasingly, traditional fee-for-service reimbursement methods are being replaced with capitation reimbursement methods. While this phenomenon originated on the West Coast, it has spread to all geographic sectors of the United States in varying degrees and can be expected to dominate the funding patterns of healthcare over the next decade.

This chapter examines the growing distrust of Japanese immigrants and the increasing push for Japanese exclusion against the backdrop of Japan’s rise as a global power. President Theodore Roosevelt supported Japan during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) and made clear his desire that Japanese immigrants be given naturalization rights to become U.S. citizens. He also strongly opposed calls for Japanese exclusion coming from the West Coast, which included a series of legislation that discriminated against the Japanese in California and other western states. Influential private citizens like missionary Sidney Gulick and business magnet Andrew Carnegie also came to the defense of Japanese immigrants. Yet Roosevelt bowed to political pressure and got Japan to stop sending labor immigrants to the U.S through the Gentlemen’s Agreement (1908). The outbreak of World War I proved a turning point in the exclusion debate; even though exclusionist calls were calmed given that Japan was a U.S. ally, Congress passed the restrictionist Immigration Act of 1918, which restricted a broad range of Asians, although not the Japanese.

This chapter looks at Kurihara's enlistment in the U.S. Army during the war on Germany. On October 29, 1918, Kurihara's 328th Field Artillery arrived at the front, just southeast of the major Allied offensive between the Meuse River and the Argonne Forest. Once at the front, Kurihara's unit prepared for an offensive aimed at the strategically important town of Metz, which served as a German hub, a heavily fortified railroad center “entirely surrounded by a chain of permanent forts mounting heavy long-range guns.” On November 11, 1918, as the men were preparing the assault, the Armistice was declared, bringing “joy and relief” to the soldiers. However, ignoring the patriotism he and other Nisei veterans had demonstrated in the war, the government now treated them and other Nisei who lived on the West Coast as “alien citizens.” As the chapters to follow demonstrate, Kurihara did not take this affront quietly, and while incarcerated, he became a vociferous and impassioned dissident.
