this is step one in this transformation of the pacific. a few year later, spanish explorers stumbled across a great river that fed into the san francisco bay. and they concluded it probably had its head waters in new mexico. they were badly mistaken. but it was enough to prompt the spanish colonization of the san francisco bay. so they had tents and a portable alter not far from the center of san francisco. the impact on the residents was t tremendous. they needed to borrow words to describe this. drunken, fever, work, rifle, and soldiers. this is an illustration of san francisco from 1816. you can see the golden gate bridge would be right here. this gives a sense of how the world was transformed. you see a number of native people being marched off to work in the fields under the eye of a mounted spanish soldier. the impact on local residents was tremendous. and it set off a demographic issue that wiped out the closest villages first and destroying those further away. spain had to supply its new post. monteray, san francisco, san diego and

given where union pacific operates, we're seeing imports from asia pacific, sure sign business is growing. lots of coming up from mexico, too. industrial products, industrial products, 20%. and those are roaring. why? you look down underneath, it's new housing construction, specifically timber. you can't ship that by truck. that accounts for some of the increase, which is bullish for the future of that important industry. union pacific is a gigantic shipper of frac sand, what you put into the ground to bring out oil and gas. another robust sign because the oil industry is now the biggest job creator in the country. this dove tails perfectly with two indexes that came out today which showed remarkable strength, mainly the dodge index and the architecture billings index, abi, both of which are recording exceptionally strong levels of activity, with the latter reaching a seven-year high. these are signs of an uplift in nonresidential construction, which can be a hiring machine once it gets going. think about all the goods and services it takes to build a skyscraper, new factory, large infras

they did nothing in the pacific. president roosevelt really had to defend and look after australia and new zealand and the south pacific on his own without british help because winston was that old-fashioned, olonial imperialist. when it came to write his memoirs, wonderful memoirs, and anyone who has not read them should. they won him the nobel prize for literature. but he sweeps all of that under the carpet. he was descending civilized values in a wonderful way with rhetoric. is ability to invent metaphors off the top of his head, i know you know many of them. he did force the president to put the american troops in outhern italy, and when they were slow, he said they were intended to move faster not like a harvest bug. who but churchill could have come up with that? churchill had very little vision of the future. to some degree in this country he is honored politically as somebody who saw more ealistically the danger of stalin and russian communism, i think that is very overplayed. the president was quite clear ex

now we're going to move over to some interesting stories from the pacific theater. we're going to talk about what i believe to be one of the most important stories in the museum, and that is the breaking of japanese diplomatic codes. even before world war ii. now, in the early part of the 20th century, it was very clear that japan was modernizing, both her government and most importantly her military. policy makers in washington realized that japan could be a potential threat, and they began to think of ways that they could try to determine what the future intentions of the japanese government and military were going to be. in 1930, an organization called the signals intelligence service was created. its very first director was william friedman. he starts with a staff of four individuals and by the end of world war ii there are 10,000 people working for the s.i.s., but in the beginning one of the most important missions they had was to try to help american policy makers and war fighters ascertain the future intentions of the japanese empire. they began a program in

can you think about asia-pacific free-trade without china?and can you think about east asian free-trade without united states? i don't think it makes sense. that is where korea can play its role. we are a strong ally of the united states. we will have a benchmark fta. in the tpp negotiations, all of the countries are trying to see if we can introduce some principles into the regime. it is playing a role, carrying the big ship. and also through our negotiations with china, we are doing our important role of liberalizing the china market. so they can except the global standard, including products, production, intellectual property, as one. so eventually the negotiation of fta with china could be a good entrance for china to be invited to the tpp, if they want. if china doesn't want, there is no entry. but if china wants, we want to have china, which is more open so we can create a greater asia-pacific free-trade network. i think i've spent my time enough. i will stop here. thank you for your patience and i would invite your questions.

it is a more delicate taste than the eastern oysters that are larger and the pacific oysters that were imported from japan. regulation of the oyster industry came about early on. washington was designated a territory in 1853. the first legislature met in 1854. as part of the first legislature, they imposed legislation because it was such a lucrative business on the coast. there was an oyster rush that was part of the gold rush. over time as the industry grew up in south sound same sort of overproduction happened here, plus a lot of unsustainable practices. they would scoop up the oysters they could and what was not useable they would dump it on the beach. within a few years owners of different businesses got together and started to come up with a list of best practices. the oyster played a part in keeping the capital in olympia. as washington state grew, a number of other cities growing faster than olympia tried to get the capital moved capitol moved to their town. this is around 1900, the olympia oyster was famous and respected. so lobbyists for olympia keeping the capitol in olympia

at a series of conferences that the soviet union is going to enter the pacific war. the japanese also severely underestimate stalin's interest in regaining territory that the japanese took from russia during the russo-japanese war in 1904, 1905. their thinking is, well, maybe we can come to some kind of balance of power arrangement. if the soviets will prop us up now, they'll help us negotiate our way out of this war with the americans. then we can maybe help the soviets later on. at least that's what we're going to tell them. so the japanese do launch a major diplomatic effort to get the soviets to mediate the war. mediate an end to the war. so why doesn't this work out?
