Mr. Roosevelt polled the full cabinet Nov. 7, 1041, and found lt unanimously agreed that the American public would support war with Japan if Japan struck the British at Malaya or the Dutch East Indies. 2. The war cabinet agreed Nov. 25 that despite the risk of letting Japan have the advantage of the first shot, it was "desirable" In order to have full support of the American public, and so there would be no doubt as to who were the aggressors. 3. Mr. Roosevelt "fairly blew up" when Stlmson told him on Nov. 26 that a Japanese task force of 30 to SO ships was steam ing i toward Indo-Chlna. Mr. Roosevelt considered it evidence of bad faith by Japan in current negotiations. 4. Mr. Roosevelt personally or dered the sending of a "final al lert" Nov. 27 to Pacific outpost defenders. 5. The war cabinet agreed Nov. 28 that the south-bound Japanese force should not be attacked with out warning. As an alternative, lt was agreed that Mr. Roosevelt should address a secret message to the Japanese emperor and send a special message to Congress re porting the danger and outlining what should be done if British, Dutch or the Philippines were at tacked. (The message to Hlrohlto was dispatched Dec. 6, 1941, the night before Pearl Harbor was attacked. The message to Congress never was delivered prior to the attack.) 6. Hull, Stlmson and Knox all expected on the morning of Dec. 7 that Japan was "planning some deviltry; and we all were wonder ing where the blow would strike." They had no thought Pearl Har bor would be struck. Meridian Dam Victory Won (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) embankment with a concrete spill way of the side-channel type. It will have a crest length of 725 feet and a height of 250 feet. Ten million cubic yards of earth. Drainage area of the dam is 991 square miles, approximately three tenths of the entire area of the Willamette River basin. Generation of Power The dam will be primarily de signed for flood control, with pro vision for future generation of power, an article in the June, 1945 Pacific Builder and Engineer notes. With abandoning of the Lookout Point site, engineers fav ored a dam on Big Fall CTeek to supplement the Meridian project. Physical factors limit the amount of flood control storage which can be economically developed at Mer idian, they found. Relocation of the Cascade line of the Southern Pacific Railway will be necessary, as the present tracks are In the pool area of the proposed dam for 14 miles. Re-lay ing oi 23 miles or tracK along tne laf t bank of the reservoir to a con nection with the existing line above the reservoir nine miles northwest of Oakridge is planned. Considerable engineering prob lems will be met on the railroad relocation project. Deep cuts,' high fills, Interference with high way relocation and possibilities of slide conditions confront the en gineers. Four major bridges will be built. It Is estimated railroad relocation will cost $6,900,000. Approximately 13 miles of the Willamette highway will also be relocated to route traffic from Eu gene to Klamath Falls around the dam. Two major bridges will be required. The project will cost $3,890,000.
