WARNING OF WAR
GIVEN OFFICIALS
AT PEARL HARBOR
Washington, Oct. 6 (U.PJ
Senate Document No. 159 en
titled "Attack Upon Pearl Har
bor by Japanese Armed Forces"
is required reading for those
taking part in the current crack
er barrel discussion of the dis
aster of Dec. 7, 1941.
It. is on sale for five cents at
the government printing office,
Washington, D. C. There has
been a rim on it of late but you
might get one if you are inter
ested. It contains ammunition for
both sides of the argument al
though It has been challenged
as Incomplete and it does not
purport to contain all the facts
that were available at the time.
ReadingMt now, nearly three
years later, its most striking
statement is that naval and mil
itary commanders were warned
10 days before Dec. 7 that hos
tilities were momentarily possi
ble and these warnings "indi
cated war and war only" with
Japan. The substance of the po
litical year controvery now cen
tering around the Pearl Harbor
disaster related to the sufficien
cy or lack of sufficiency of
those warnings.

JAPANESE THREATEN
BISECTING OF CHINA
Kweilin Front, China, Oct. 5
(U.R) The Japanese driving
toward Kweilin have only 350
miles to cover to the Indo-China
border to cut China in half a
victory which military observ
ers anticipate will make any
future U. S. landings on the
China coast a hazardous, diffi
cult operation.
Of the total of 8000 miles of
overland route between Tokyo
and Singapore, winding across
the Asiatic mainland, the Jap
anese have succeeded in driving
through about 94 per cent and
apparently have gained four
vital objectives which may pro
long the war.
