Misconception about Hawaii as foreign country exposed by bank
A Washington revenue collector’s note to a local bank challenges an erroneous belief that Hawaii is not part of the United States. The bank explains Hawaii became U S territory in 1898 and checks there are paid at par, a fact confirmed by war risk and alien property practices. The report cites similar misapprehensions by residents in Baltimore and Kansas City, highlighting Hawaii’s U S status and tax contributions.
