IN launching their attack on our Hawaiian bases
at Pearl Harbor without warning, at the very
moment when their ENJOYS were still mounting
peaceful proposals to our Secretary of State, the
japanese weren't initiating their German masters
The Japanese didn't have to learn that particu-
lar brand of treachery from anybody
They originated it.
In 1904 they torpedoed without warning the
Russian Warships lying in the harbor at Port
Arthur twenty-four hours before the declaration
of war at the very moment when the Japanese
ambassador TO Russia was the guest of honor at a
ball in the Imperial Palace at st. Petersburg
So 1t was really the Germans who were initial
ing the japanese when they attacked Poland, Nor
way, Holland Belgium and all of their other inno-
cent victims, without warning.
Just the same, the little brown men Of the
Pacific have probably learned many other tricks
from their schoolmaster, Adolf Hitler
Our real war Hitler wrote. lis waged before
the military strikes. Artillery preparations are
replaced by the moral decomposition of the enemy
by means OF various psychological devices that
enable us to kill before his armies can 90 into
action.
The rattlesnake at least sounds warning
But before the Japanese struck. their bland
smiles masked whole batteries Of psychological
tricks Fortunately however to unmask many of
their devices we need only study Nazi methods
Since is hard for japanese spy TO disguise
his nationality, am accord was worked out in 1885
between The Nazis and japanese whereby German
agents operating IN the United States were also to
work for japan.
