c. Fighting Tom) Hart told me In
an interview yesterday at his new
naval command post that the pro-
gram for defense of American Far
Eastern positions "is proceeding ac-
cording to defensive plans"
He said that while the United
States planned no offensive against
Japan, there is such military
term as an cffensive-defensive and
if the other fellow hits you, you
try to be awfully offensive imme-
diately afterward." He also de-
clared that Originally we had no
intention of attacking Japan"
Admiral Hart sat on glass
topped desk, swinging his legs and
playing with a small paper knife. a
small Navy sword about which he
said, MY missus sent me this in the
last mail This is the only sword
I have with me. 1t came in brief

proud of our undersea craft and Of
the plans that were laid around
their activities for the defense Of
the Philippines and American pos
sessions in the Far East.
Americans experienced a surprise

the admiral, but he pointed out
specifically that his own forces were

But his eyes were not quite up to

Admiral Hart scotched rumors
that he was getting ready to move
