BY WALLACE CARROLL Copyright l9AI, By United Rressl
 New York, Dec, 3o.--tup) A fifth column and espionage network, poe tlently organized over many years, paved the way for Japan's surprise blow at Pearl Hhtbor. % '' N
 The full story of the fifth column. which Sepretars; of Navy Frank Knox described as the most effective since Norway, probably cannot be told until official inquiries have been completed.
 Things He Learned
 But during my recent visit to Honolulu, I learned
 1. That big arrows, pointing to military objectiveS, were reported to have been cut in the sugar cane on plantations in the islands q few hours before the Japanese struck.
 ?. That Japanese who was or. rested for allegedly operating 0 Short-wave transnlitGer during the Pearl Harbor attack was 0 business man who for 20 years had been c frequent visitor at schofleld bar racks, the U. S. army post,
 8. That Japanese vegetable dealers had an uncanny knack of knowing about movements In and out of port of units of the American navy be- cause they delivered their produce to the ships,
 {, That advertisements, innocent looking and accepted by newspapers In good faith. may have contained code messages to the fifth column. ists.
 This Is not intended as an indict- ment of all Japanese In Honolulu On the whole they were industrious, dependable and well behaved, But enough of them were fifth column ists to make the attack successful, The facts, if presented to the Amer lean people now, may help put thcm on the alert in other potential areas of danger.
