Attack on Japan Prior to
Pearl Harbor Talked of by
Roosevelt's War Cabinet
Idea Rejected 9 Days Before Foe Struck.
Stimson Discloses; President's Warning
To Japan Occasioned by Threats to Asia
By WILLIAM T. PEACOCK
WASHINGTON, March 21. Former Secretary of War
Henry L. Stimson has disclosed that President Roosevelt's "war cabi
net" discussed and rejected nine days before Pearl Harbor an Ameri
can attack on Japanese forces "without further warning."
Stimson recounted this in a statement sent to the Senate-House
coi jnittee Investigating Japan's surprise blow on Dec. 7, 1941. The
committee made it public today.
Stimson related that on the
morning of Friday, Nov. 28, 1941,
he received information of Japa
nese movements along the Asiatic
coast. Thev were of such a "for
' midable character" that he went
to the White House. The Stim
son story continued:
"Mr. Roosevelt suggested that
there were three alternatives, as
my notes show: First, to do noth
ing: second, to make something
in the nature of an ultimatum,
stating a point beyond which we
would fight; or, third, to fight at
once.
"I said that I felt that to do
nothing was out of the question
and the President agreed with
me. As to the other two alterna
tives, the desirable thing to do
from the point of view of our own
tactics and safety was to take the
initiative and attack without fur
ther warning. It is axiomatic that
the best defense is olfense. It is
alwavs dangerous to wait and let
the enemy make the first move.
"I was inclined to feel that the
warning given in August by the
President against further moves
by the Japanese toward Thailand
justified an attack without fur
ther warning, particularly as
their new movement southward
Indicated that they were about to
violate that warning.
"On the other hand, I realized
that the situation could be made
more clean cut from the point of
view of public opinion if a fur
ther warning were given."
(DurirTg its hearings, closed a
month ago, the committee learn
ed from State Department rec
ords that Mr. Roosevelt warned
the Japanese ambassador In Au
gust, 1941, that the United States
would take steps to defend its in
terests if Japan engaged In fur
their aggression toward south
east Al)-"-i-vv.i - . -...
Real Tarpet Not Suspected
At noon on that same Friday,
Stimson said, the so-called "war
cabinet" met. In addition to Stim
son its members were Secretary
of State Hull, Secretary of the
Navy Knox, Admiral Harold R.
Stark, the chief of Naval opera
tions, and General George C.
Marshal, the Army chief of staff.
Stimson said this meeting dis
cussed the possible meaning of
