Honolulu's Tragic Report
History is often ironical. .
When the history of World war No. 2 is written,
it may be clear, that sneak-blow the Japanese thought
would win their war, LOST it
For it awoke that sleeping giant, alias the United
States, from a coma of complacent over-confidence,
which might otherwise have been disasterous.
a
ERTAINLY those of us who were not awakened
by tti shock of the devastating blow at Honolulu
on December 7th, must be
the Roberts committee report, which was released
yesterday.
For that report reveals
condition which existed in both naval and army
circles in Honolulu, preceding the attack. And there
is no reason to believe that
there existed nowhere else, it must certainly have
been more or less prevalent, not only throughout the
country, but throughout our armed forces.
THIS lethargy has often

There was, thank God, in this country no similar
pacifist or defeatist psychology; but -this committee
report does strongly indicate that a complacent be
lief did exist in the United
would be avoided and if it
mot Line of Uncle Sam s
the same sense of indifference and false security
extending even to our armed forces.
At least that is the only way we can explain, the
glaring instances of derelection of duty, not only in
the Hawaiian command, but all along the line, down
to second lieutenants and non-commissioned officers.
THINK of it!
A Japanese U-boat sighted and sunk, only 43
minutes before the attack, yet no additional alert
orders whatever were given.
About the same time a non-commissioned officer,
operating a plane detecting device after hours, heard
what sounded like a large flight of planes coming in
from the northeast Reporting to an "inexperienced
lieutenant" the latter "assumed the planes to be
American and took no further action."
Meanwhile General Short THOUGHT the navy
was operating reconnaissance air-flights off shore
(when it was not) and Admiral Kimmel THOUGHT
the army was operating devices which would detect
the sound of planes, when
actually in .service a few hours a day I While for
some reason, not clearly explained, the respective ex
alted heads of both branches never compared notes,
or even consulted regarding coordinated action !
MOW, of course, it is POSSIBLE, that all these in-
dividual, from high to low, were negligent, in
competent andor, on that particular Sunday morn
ing, six or seven weeks ago were hopelessly plast
ered, by the Hawaiian equivalent of bath tub gin.
Negligence, incompetence or acute alcoholism
would explain such a scandalous situation.
But it is far more likely, in our judgment, that such
a prevailing and widespread absence of competence,
vigilance and awareness, was due to a SPREAD of
the same scepticism and lethargy and sense of false
security, that had infected the American people, ever
since the start of the war, to the armed forces on land
and sea.
Oh yes, there were warnings and alarms from
high places, orders to take note of this and that.
Failure to do so was inexcusable, in fact reached a
state of negligence that was criminal. Tragic a3 the
fate of the two commanding officers, General Short
and Admiral Kimmel is no one can read the report and
not agree they are only getting what they deserve.
Nevertheless, we believe if the American people
as a whole, had not been so slow to wake, up to the
dangers of the war; of it striking this country in a
vulnerable place when least expected, our armed
forces would not have been caught as seriously nap
ping or in such a tragic way, that good Sunday morn-'
ing.
The only alternative at least to that conclusion is
this, i.e. :
Not only was the supreme commander of the
American navy, and the general in command of the
aimed forces in Hawaii completely, in fact, criminally
incompetent, but the command of the U-boat patrol,
the officer in charge of airplane detection and other
subordinate officials, whose duty it was to be on the
alert and ready for trouble at such a time, were also
incompetent
THERE is no doubt that when the storm broke, all
forces from high to low, behaved with the cour
age, resourcefulness and skill expected of the Ameri
can army and navy in time of peril and in accordance
with our finest traditions. So we prefer to believe
that our armed forces, in Hawaii and elsewhere in
stead of being honeycombed with incompetence and
then (in which case they would be now) they merely
suffered from that "sleeping sickness" which for
some strange reason afflicted the entire country, ever
since World war No. 2 started.
So as that sneak attack on Devember 7 entirely
snapped the army and navy out of it it also com
pletely awakened the rank and file of the American
people.
If this is correct then history may well point out,
that the tragedy at Pearl Harbor, destructive and de-
Jilorable as it was, was really a blessing in disguise,
or it was responsible for at last arousing that sleep
ing giant, the United States, to the figUing pitch

Chilb lain is inflammatory

it is frostbite. If the skin merely
reddens, smarts, itches and
aches it is first degree frostbite,
comparable with first degree
burn, which merely causes flush
ing, reddening and Irritation of
the skin. If blisters form it is
second degree frostbite and more
serious because the blisters open
the way fer infection, if the

infection.

, Br John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, Jan. 26.
Officials are loath to admit that
the army bombers cracking up
have anything to do with sabot
age. If they think so, they are
careful not to speak. Navy de
partment denied a couple of
years ago that there was sabot
age on new cruisers and other
warships, although material was
placed in machinery which had
no business there Just as lines
on airplanes became clogged by
rags In gasoline tanks, when It
is Impossible for rags or pieces
of waste to get into the tank
without being tossed in.
The bomber wrecked recently
near Pendleton, Ore., airport
with loss of eight men; the loss
of another bomber in the rugged
tlmberland In southwestern
Washington last year are consid
ered accidents by the army a r
corps. The flying division of the
army expects these accidents to
occur and figures on a percent
age of Interceptors, light and me
dium bombers being wrecked
with loss of life. No day passes
but what somewhere in the
United States, or the ocean off
shore, planes go down and fliers
are killed. Only the war depart
ment has a complete list of the
accidents and casualties; only a
few of the tragedies reach all the
newspapers, yet always there Is
a report.
As the army officials put It,
the more the air force Is expand
ed the greater the number of ac
cidents, but the ratio remains ap
proximately the same as in pre
war days. Army fliers have a
different training than the com
mercial pilots. Pilota of the big
commercial planea do not stunt,
cut didoes or experiment to see
what they can do with their ship.

protection against frostbite.

SOMETIME this year young
women of Oregon and Washing
ton may have a chance to get
into uniform as an auxiliary of

I a bill to use women in the army.
The bill, now resting in commit
tee, was regarded as "one of
those things," but now high ad
ministration officials are study
ing it seriously and administra
tion is expected to be behind It
The enlisted women, it is ex
plained, could take over a large

similar non-combat Jobs, releas

With encouragement appearing
for the bill, military tailors are

sider a serviceable uniform, part
of which is a short skirt, but no
slacks.
Another plan for releasing
young men for fighters will be
the establishment of 50 military
police battalions, probably 90,
000 or more men. The program
is advocated by Secretary of
War Stimson. who wishes the
military police to take the place
of guards at shipyards, munitions
plants, etc.. where bayonet-carrying
regulars are now assigned.
Most of the members of military
police battalions would be re

Commiimcations
Bess Misinterpreted ,
To the editor
Your interesting editorial of
January 22, entitled "It Demaree
Bess a Liar?" highlights a feud
of many months' standing be
tween the Portland Oregonlan
and the Saturday Evening Poet
The Oregonlan, like the under
signed, was interventionist
minded long before Pearl Har
bor. The Post, of course, was
strongly isolationist, and Its pet
foreign correspondent, Demaree
Bess, was not only isolationist,
but on suspiciously good terms
with the nazis, as witness his be
ing allowed Into Poland some
thing like a year ago.
Only a short time before the
United States openly entered the
war, Bess wrote, In the Novem
ber 22, 1041 Pott. "The truth Is
thst the war IA Europe Is not
black and white but a dirty
gray." In other words, Bess felt
thst Germany has as much right
on her side as England, or pos
sibly more.
This Is remislscent of Lind
bergh, who never, so far as I
know, censored the nazis. The
land of the concentration camp,
the gestapo, the pogrom, the
book-burning, was preferred by
Lindbergh, end probably by
Bess, to the land of the Magna
Carta, of parliament, and of
Hyde Park.
It Is understandable that there
Is no amiability on the part of
the Oregonlan towards Bess or
the Post that would prohibit the
appellation liar; but I believe
liar is too blunt word under
the circumstances. Mlsinter
preter is better. I personally
have derived valuable informa
tion from Bess, in spite of re
sentment. In Bess' last article, the most
glaring misinterpretation lies in
his discussion of the German re
treat In Russia. Belittling the
Russian offensive power and the
rigors of winter, Bess explains
Hitler's retreat thus: "With un
seemly haste, German armies be
gan to pull out of their eastern
most positions In Russia, with
drawing so fast that they un
necessarily wasted materials and
men."
Presumably, Bess would have
us believe this withdrawel was
occasioned solely by Japan's eas
ing pressure on eastern Russia
as a concomitant of her war
elsewhere. Doublets the Rus
sians did profit by this easing
snd by their secret understand
ing with Japan. But to say that
the Germans "pulled out" when
in truth they were pushed back
is, if not an out and out lie, a
perversion of the truth.
It is obvious, of course, that
the whole tone of the Bess
article in question, 'The Axis Is
a Myth," is calculated to bolster
the rectitude of Bess and the
Post's previous Isolationism. If
there is no teamwork among the
dictators, the Post would have
us believe that their menace to
wards the United States has been
exaggerated. But a pack of
wolves is still a pack of wolves,
for all that they will turn on
one another at the first likely
opportunity.

all there is to it, others declare
with considerable emphasis that
the difficulty lies only in "men

be good for everyone to rouse
their latent efforts snd endeavor
to reach that "difficult F," the
