Territorial Hawaii was controlled economically, and to an extent, politically, by a group of sugar factors known as the Big Five. Mainland journalists and government officials criticized the influence of the oligarchy and made regional comparisons. This article argues that such criticism reflected West Coast prejudices against Hawaii's Asian labor force as much as specific actions of the Big Five
