of these people do not realize the

Japan's possession of almost the

Meanwhile, the state department
met a charge issued by Chancellor
Hitler's headquarters that the
United States had made the first
attack on Germany, with the as
sertion that German propaganda
was twisting the facts.
The department stated that the
facts were plainly told the Ameri-

in his broadcast last Monday
night. The President then declared
that Germa any had attacked
America and had started the

1t was also pointed out that
