Says Tire
Situation Tightens

Operators of passenger cars may
find it impossible to obtain used
tires because commercial vehicles
delivering essential goods are now
eligible to receive used passenger
and truck tires of sizes smaller than
750-20 to replace tires no longer
serviceable. November quotas re-
ceHtly released by OPA for new
passenger and truck tires show Sc

peT~cent fewer for passenger cars

Nazi occupation authorities in Hol-
land have even cut the Dutch horse
meat ration one-third. The weekly
meat ration coupons, which used to
be good for $50 grams of horsemeat.
now are good for only 100 grams, or
about two ounces, according to a re-
port published in German language
daily in Holland. The cut means a
great deal to the Dutch, whose liv-
ing standards have lowered.

Collecting spider web for precision

Because corn fields are excellent
hide-outs for partisans, the Croat

all farmers to cut their fields by the

Mr.. MANSFIELD of Montana Mr..
Speaker, I ask unanimous consent
to address the House for l minute.
The SPEAKER Without obpec-
ton, it is SO ordered.
There was no objection.
Mr.. MANSFIELD of MontanaIMr.
Speaker, it was with real interest
that / read joint Army-Navy
statement to the effect that Rear
Admiral Husband Kimmel and Maj.
Gen. Walter Short had waived the
statute of limitations which would
have barred their court martial If
not arraigned before December 7,
1943.
Many of my constituents in Mon
tana and for that matter, many peo-
pie in the Nation as a whole have
been disturbed about the possibility
of the Pearl Harbor incident being
hushed up. | shared these appre
tensions as it is my feeling that
this matter needs much more in
vestigation before the true facts are
known
It is still inconceivable to me how
Pearl Harbor, the most highly forti-
fled area on the face of the globe,
could have been surprised and so
successfully attacked as it was on
December Z, 1941. | find | cannot
agree with the Roberts Commits
sion's report to the President
1t was a dereliction of duty on
the part of each of them (Short and
KimmeD not to consult and con-
fer with each other respecting the
warnings (sent from the War and
Navy Departments between Novem-
BERN II and December 7, l941) and
the appropriate measures of de-
Tense required by the imminence
of hostilities.
To me the cause goes much deep
er than fixing the blame exclu-
sively upon Kimmel and Short. A
real investigation of the Pearl Har-
Dor disaster and the needless loss
of lives caused by this tragedy will
have to, and must, take place at the
first appropriate opportunity. Due
to this disaster thousands of lives
will be forfeited before this war is
won and endless months, if not
years, added to our war against ia
pan. This sacrifice on the part of
our sons, relatives, and friends must
be paid for not only in the ultimate
and Complete defeat of Japan but
also in the Furnishing of those re-
sponsible for the Hawaiian disaster
whether the fault lies in Honolulu
or Washington. 1t is story which
America is entitled to know and
intend to do my humble best to see
to it that the whole shame-ridden
tale is told in full Yes, Japan will
answer and SO must those of our
own citizens who were negligent,
careless, and too complacent.
The humiliating unconditional
surrender of our forces at Wake, Ba-
taan, and Corregidor can be laid, in
part at least, to the Pearl Harbor in
cident. These men who fought SO
courageously for us and whose eyes
surveyed the skies and the seas for
the help that never came, and their
relatives and friends who feel they
have been betrayed, are entitled to
full and complete explanation.
That can come only from Congress
andI would be derelict in my duty
to my country and myself if did
nottdeclare openly my position on
this great American tragedy.
(Mr. MANSFIELD of Montana
asked and was given permission to
revise and extend his own re-
marks.)
