Cancellation of Sumitomo Pact
Mayor Tom Bradley’s and Mas Fukai’s (an aide to Supervisor Kenny Hahn) complaints that racism and Japan-bashing played a major role in the loss of Sumitomo’s Green Line contract are an attempt to divert public attention away from the real villains in this sorry fiasco: U.S. politicians and bureaucrats who have consistently sought to degrade American competitive standing through harmful and idiotic trade policies.
