While its envoys discussed with
secietary o f state Hull means o f
maintaining peace in the Pacific, Ja
pan’ s forces attacked the Hawaiian
Islands, the Philippines, Wake and
Midway Islands, Guam, Hongkong
and Malaya. In the attacks on Am er.
ican possessions there were approxi
mately 3000 casualties ,one battle
ship and a destroyer sunk, several ot
her U .S. ships severely damaged and
a large number o f planes put out of
commission.
Stating that “ always will we re
member the character o f the on
slaught against us,” the President ask
ed Congress to declare a state o f
w ai1 exists between the U -S. and the
Japanese Empire.
Following Con.
gress’s affirm ative action Germany
and Italy in accordance with their
agreement with Japan declared war
on the United States. Almost imme
diately Congress declared war on the
the European members o f the Axis.
Both the army and navy announc
ed volunteer enlistments at the re
cord level. The war department asked
Congress fo r legislation to register
all men 18 to 64 years old and to per
mit use o f men 18 to 45 fo r military
service.
Selective service director
Hershey said it may be possible to
raise the number o f selectees in ser.
v ie » from the present 896,000 to ab
out 3,000,000 without using other
than the 21-28 age groups. I f Con
gress approves the induction o f those
now registered but deferred another
1,000,000 might be raised Gen Her
shey said. SS national headquarters
directed all local boards to reclass:fy
ex-service men who have been de
ferred because o f prior serivee.
Congress passed legislation rem ov.
ing the ban on U. S. army men from
serving outside the hemisphere. Con
gress also granted the army and navy
permission to hold enlisted men for
the duration.
Addressing the nation by radio the
President said “ it w ill not only be a
long war, it w ill be a hard war. Not
only must the shame o f Japanese
treachery be wiped out, but the sour
ces o f international brutality, where-
ever they exist must be absolutely
and finally broken. W ith confidence
in our armed forces ,with the un
bounding determination o f our peo.
pie, we will gain inevitable triumph.
