Due to the success of sugar production, by 1933, the properties of Līhu'e Plantation included Ahukini Railway Co., Aukini Railway Co., East Kauai Water Co., Makee Plantation, Nāwiliwili Transportation Co., Princeville Ranch, Waiahi Electric Co., and pineapple lands leased to Hawaiian Canneries.\n  <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref1_1-0\">\n   <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref1-1\">\n    [1]\n   </a>\n  </sup>\n  With thousands of workers employed on the plantation, owners built housing and churches as well as schools for the children of laborers; as early as 1910 Līhu'e Plantation's hospital was recognized as one of the best in the Islands. Many plantations across the territory created self-contained communities for their workers and employees as part of plantation paternalism to cultivate the loyalty and discipline of the workers. Shortly after the 1920 strike, the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association (HSPA) summed up the essential purpose of this strategy as \"money and time have been spent liberally by the plantations to cater to the physical, mental and moral welfare of the laborers\" as planters recognized \"humanity in industry pays.\"\n  <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref2_2-0\">\n   <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref2-2\">\n    [2]\n   </a>\n  </sup>\n  While the paternalism of the plantation mangers sometimes emerged from a sincere concern for their workers, planters realized it played an important role in production and profit making and hospitals and other recreational facilities were built including gymnasiums.\n  <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref3_3-0\">\n   <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref3-3\">\n    [3]\n   </a>\n  </sup>\n </p>\n <p>\n  For reasons that are unclear, Paul Muraoka was arrested and imprisoned in solitary confinement at the Līhu'e Plantation Gym's shower room for one month, while other internees on Kaua'i were held at the Wailuā County Jail, Waimea Jail, or at the Kalāheo Stockade. While Muraoka did not know the specifics of why he was arrested, he believed it was likely due to his visits to Japan from 1932 to 1934 and his work for the Japanese consulate in Honolulu for six months. In isolation for a month, Muraoka only saw people when they brought his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. To keep himself mentally alert, he kept leftovers he fed to ants and \"would check to see from what hole they emerged, how many, how they divided the food to carry out, who gave the first notice. Individual responsibilities, etc.\"\n  <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref4_4-0\">\n   <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref4-4\">\n    [4]\n   </a>\n  </sup>\n  Although the specifics of his accommodations are unknown, Muraoka remembered a window that he could look out of and he started to monitor the daily activities to keep occupied. Muraoka noticed that the first time when the siren rang, he \"saw a large car belonging to a plantation manager speed home.\" The next time the siren rang, Muraoka ran to the window to see what would occur and again he saw the manager departing.\n </p>\n <p>\n  By engaging in such activities he kept from going \"emotionally bankrupt\" with nothing else to do but wait for authorities to determine his fate. Muraoka likely witnessed the workings of the plantation as sugar production continued despite labor shortages and land and facilities diverted for military usages. Līhu'e Plantation was part of extensive plans to protect Kaua'i in the event of an invasion including \"sabotage and terrorism on the part of resident sympathizers\" that will \"probably accompany and may proceed the attack,\" a possibility made very real by the shelling of Nāwiliwili Harbor.\n  <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref5_5-0\">\n   <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref5-5\">\n    [5]\n   </a>\n  </sup>\n  On the moonlit night of December 30, 1941, an enemy Japanese submarine estimated to be about four miles offshore fired upon Nāwiliwili Harbor with least 15 three-inch shells, most of them duds as part Japanese naval harassment of American territories and coastal regions.\n  <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref6_6-0\">\n   <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref6-6\">\n    [6]\n   </a>\n  </sup>\n  One month after this event authorities sent Muraoka to Kalāheo Stockade but his wife had no knowledge of his whereabouts during this time as no one had seen Muraoka and she \"didn't expect him to be there.\"\n  <sup class=\"reference\" id=\"cite_ref-ftnt_ref7_7-0\">\n   <a class=\"\" href=\"#cite_note-ftnt_ref7-7\">\n    [7]\n   </a>\n  </sup>\n  Later, Muraoka and his wife were reunited in the\n  <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"/Jerome/\" title=\"Jerome\">\n   Jerome\n  </a>\n  , Arkansas, concentration camp.\n </p>\n <p>\n  Currently, the Līhu'e Plantation Gymnasium is the only remaining incarceration site on Kaua'i.
