...prevent the expulsion of the West Coast Japanese Americans. These friends were social scientists, students of public opinion, cognizant of the loyalty of the Japanese Americans to the United States, and also of the mounting pressure on the West Coast--a combination of greedy landowners, jealous of the more prudent and hard-working Japanese farmers, and xenophobes--for expulsion or internment.

But where Fraser advocated prudent economic conservatism, Hawke called for an ambitious $2.65 billion public works program designed to create half a million jobs during the next three years. He also promised to increase pensions and reduce taxes for low-and middle-income wage earners...
