The Communist ''Honolulu Record'' devoted an inside-page article to the 1953 Report and its columnist, Frank Marshall Davis, on August 6, 1953 wrote about the commission and the report. In his column Davis was guilty of the usual Communist editorial dishonesty. The following is copied from his column, and purports to be a quotation from the 1953 report : "Nor has Davis confined his inflammatory racial propaganda to the columns of the Honolulu Record alone. His story, ''Hawaii's Plain People Fight White Supremacy'', appeared in the November 1951 issue of ''Freedom'', a tabloid publication emanating from New York City. * * * Chairman of the editorial board of ''Freedom'' is Paul Robeson."
