Before World War II, Mark L. Streeter operated a small fruit farm in Lewiston, Idaho, later going to work for Morrison-Knutsen Co. and shipping off to Wake Island. He was captured on December 23, 1941, and transferred to Bunka Camp in Japan. In 1943, the Spokesman-Review published a letter that Streeter had written to Idaho Congressman Compton White in 1942, asking White to help stop “this foolish war.” At the end of the letter he sent his greetings to his friends in Lewiston. Streeter worked for the Japanese propaganda office and Radio Tokyo, writing and delivering many broadcasts, including a particularly offensive “Ode to Roosevelt,” which was published in Japanese newspapers. His arrest was ordered by General Douglas MacArthur in early September 1945 on the same warrant with General Hideki Tojo and Admiral Shagetaro Shimada. Streeter told investigators that he was attempting to gain the confidence of his captors and “work from the inside” to speed the end of the war. The case against him was eventually dropped after he turned “state’s evidence” against Japanese officials, although the National Archives still maintains 12,000 pages of documents relating to his case, with 6,000 pages in FBI files. Streeter returned to Idaho and spoke to the Lewiston Orchards Farmers’ Union in August 1951. He was at the time president and director of Energists, Inc., an organization that advocated the elimination of all taxes and had been created, according to Streeter, by him and 20 POWs in 1942. All wages would be stabilized. Unskilled labor would receive the same wage everywhere in the U.S., as would semi-skilled, skilled, supervisory and professional labor. Streeter told the Lewiston Morning Tribune that he had been a POW from December 1941 until June 20, 1946. What he failed to mention was that the final 9 months were as a suspected war criminal. Streeter died in Rigby, Idaho, in 1985.
