FOR TRAINING ONLY

Now among the instances of unpreparedness at
Pearl Ilarbor the Roberts Report disclosed that in the
Spring Of l941 installation of defensewarnng systems
was begun in Hawaii but that the work was not COM
pleed on Dec Z, 1871 and that temporary equipment
was being operated internationally throughout the day
for the purpose only Of training personnel IN It's OPP
Grafton not Of standing guard.
1t was temporary equipment, presumably, that en-
abcd Private Joseph l." Lockhard to detect the APP
preaching japanese planes in off duty practice and
to be unheeded as the Roberts Report revealed.
But the Report omts being ont Of its province,
an explanation as TO WHY sufficient defensewarning
equipment and trained personnel had not been fully
provided by the Government during the ELEVEN
MONTHS since a surprise air attack on Pearl Harbor
had been predicted by officials at Washington.
There is no question at all, in the light Of what
TRANSFERRED SAID Secretary Knox IN a Commencement
Day address at Annapolis December ~, l9ll that
HALF An HOT RS warning Of the approach Of the
japanese planes would have made alhe difference IN
the world
Finally. the Roberts Report showed that Oahu
infested with japanese Spies hut that-'the United
States beng Al peace with japan the +. Y. J. was
frustrated hy restrictions imposed
JAPANESE ESPIONAGE plus THE LACK OF
AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS. seemingly combined to
make the surprise AFRAID possible.
\ full Investigation would ask why the spies were
not dealt with by the Government under martial law,
and whether the restrictions the +. g. could not
have been removed under emergency legislation per-
hitting the President to suspend statutes hamperlng
defence policy. - -
Or full inquiry might find that if AFRAID
PREC A-TIONS had made a surprise attack impossible,
the japanese spies WOULD HAVE TOLD TOXIC SO
and such an attack WOULD NOT EVEN HAVE BEEN
ATTEMPTED.
Singularlv Congress also had warning long IN ad-
vance as TO Japans intentions
Il had been given. among others by Rear Admiral
Joseph r. Tau>sg in testimony before the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee.

ATTACK EXPECTED

Meanwhile officials at Washington evidently
constantly concerned over the grave Pacific danger.
For months prior to Dec. Z 1881" the Roberts
Report notes. the growing tensty of the relations OF
the United States with Japan discussed re
peatedly Cabinet meetings and at meetings Of the
War Council.
The Roberts Report also says that the (Army)
Chief Of Staff and the Chief Of Naval Operations
constantly informed and that they turn advised the
responsible commanders in the field Of the progress of
events and of the growing threat of hostilities
The responsible commanders in the Hawaiian
area continues the Report were aware that PREVI-
GUS JAPANESE ACTIONS and DEMONSTRATED
AXIS METHODS indicated that hostile action might
be expected PRIOR TO A DECLARATION OF WAR"
This is more than q suggestion that the
mauders were lacking in diligence with the defense
means at their disposal.
The Roberts Report, indeed, says So;

OFFICIAL STUPIDITY?

Secretary Knox informal report, perhaps unln-
tentonay set the keynote for this disposition of the
momentous incident
Mr. Knox said:
THE United States Services were not on the alert
against the surprise air attack in Hawaii
Portions of the Roberts Commission report amp-
fy this brief finding.
But does should the verdict end there
Were official policies far beyond the powers Of
the defense forces at Hawaii, IN any way responsible
for what befe?
Did any errors of Judgment At WASHINGTON
contribute TO- possibly invite our sudden defeat at
Oahu
Was there any "dereiction of duty high - in the
Government itself which made Pearl liarbor an" Ach
les heel rather than haSton of mpregnabIc power
in the Pacific
Was there any reason for not only the high COM
handing officers Hawaii, but for their still higher
superiorS Washington TO be prepared for and to be
alertly awaiting exactly such blow the japanese
forces successfully struck?
These questions which have not as Yet been

Where was the military and naval equipment
going?
The Roberts Report does not state but It's phrase,
"the national situation" would to refer to the
"easelend policy whereby American munitions, tanks
and airplanes-and desroyers-were sent to Libya,
and to Soviet Russia and to Great Britain instead OF
going to Hawaii and the Philippines in preparation for

"Presupposng timely dispositions by the Army and
NAVY commands in Hawaii forces available to them
were adequate to Illustrate surprise air attack or
greatly to mitigate its effectiveness
However, another portion of the Roberts Report
explains:
Both commanders were WARNED to take pre-
cautions and to make preparatory dispositions WHICH
WOULD NOT DISCLOSE THEIR STRATEGIC IN

AGAINST JAPAN"

Since then the Presidential Commission headed by
Supreme Court Justice Owen D. Roberts has presented
its report following inquiries in Washington and IN
Hawaii the two commanding officers IN the islands at
the time OF The Japanese foray-Admiral Husband f.
Kmmel and Lieut.. Gen. Walter c. Short-have been
retired and Congress has decided not to make It's own
