CJ in Pidgin Japanese?

[Dave Robertson]

I realize you can't connect everything with everything else.

And Ranald MacDonald probably has nothing to do with this.

But I was just reading Goodman's 1967 article on post-World War 2 
Hamamatsu English-Japanese Pidgin.  

He mentions a word "hayaku" used as "hurry up".  

I had to do a double-take.

You often find words from other contact languages in any given pidgin; 
Goodman gives examples of them in this paper.  

People using a pidgin presumably make use of their previous experience, if 
any, of contact situations.  

"Hayaku" couldn't have come from CJ, right?!
