| − | During April of 1951, a national convention of the ILWU was held in Honolulu. This convention was attended by, amongst others, Al Richmond, editor of the ''[[Daily People's World]]'' and chairman of the press commission of District 13 of the [[Communist Party USA]]. Richmond attended meetings of the executive board where the policy of the ‘‘Honolulu Record’’, as an agitational outlet of the policy of the Communist Party was discussed. Policy lines were set down by the executive board in regard to the''Record'' policy. The editorial policies of the ''Record'' editor, Koji Ariyoshi, came under fire by Richmond in that Richmond criticized Ariyoshi's policies as being [[deviationist]]. In particular, Ariyoshi was criticized for not giving the biggest issue of the current Communist line, the so-called "peace line" during the early [[Cold War]], proper emphasis in the ''Record''. | + | During April of 1951, a national convention of the ILWU was held in Honolulu.
