The Congressional investigation of the Pearl H arbor disaster should be
neither a w itch hunt nor a white wash. I t should seek simply to gather
the tru th , the whole tru th , and nothing but the tru th about that his
toric fiasco and then let the facts speak fo r theftiselves.
I t has become quite apparent that the whole story has not been told
through previous investigations. I t is also evident that m ilitary officials
are not anxious to have some o f the facts publicized, since they revea
instances o f startling incompetence and negligence on the part o f many
o f those who were responsible fo r the defense o f Pearl Harbor.
It w ill be much better, however, fo r all o f us, including both politi
cal and m ilita ry officials, i f there is a complete airing o f ail the facts, no
m atter how embarrassing. Unless this is done false reports and accusa
tions w ill be repeated indefinitely.

There are reasons. One is the private war waged in Congressional com
mittee hearings between the "to p brass” o f the A rm y and N avy on the
question o f a unified command.
For weeks the generals have carried the battle in favor o f unification.
From all ¡indications they have established a pretty solid beachhead. The
admirals, caught somewhat o ff balance, have seen some o f their thickest

We laymen do not understand the in and outs o f m ilita ry politics or
the frictions and pealousies between the tw o services. But we are pretty
well convinced that separate commands are costly— in money and in
lives. M illions o f our dollars were wasted when the A rm y and N avy
bid against each other fo r supplies in the open market during the war.
As to lives, need we m ention P ^ r l H a rb o r as one example?
