Japan which never went into ef-
feet.
Welles was on the stand through
out the day with standing room
only crowd listening to his testi-
mony in the Senate caucus room.
Chairman Barley D-Ky) raised
the question of whether the fleets
presence in Hawaii had influenced
Japan. He recalled that Admiral j.
O. Richardson, then commander OF
the fleet, had testified that he pro-
tested to President Roosevelt on
Oct. 8, 1910, against keeping it
there.
Richardson said he argued the
ships could be better prepared for
war at west coast bases but the
President replied that he believed
the presence of the fleet at Pearl
Harbor would have a restraining
influence" on Japan.
Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) told
Welles at one point that Senator
Pepper (D-Fla) had been quoted
as saying in a speech at Boston on
Nov. "a, 1941, that the navy had
drawn line in the Pacific" and
that if the japanese crossed it
there would be shooting.
"Was. that true?" he asked.
II know of no such arrange
ment," Welles replied.
Pepper is now in Europe and
could not be reached for comment.
He told Congressional investi-
gators OF the japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor that in his opinion
only complete acquiesence" in
Japan's policy OF aggression could
have forestalled hostilities. In fact,
the Japanese proposals Of Nov. 20,
1941, amounted to an ''ultimatum, ="
he said.
Under question by Senator Fer
guson R-Mich), Welles said he did
not know, however, what informa-
ton and views were relayed by the
State Department to the War and
Navy departments. Secretary OF
State Hull handled that, he said,
but added an expression Of belief
that military and diplomatic
phases of the Pacific situation
were being coordinated.
Wenes named former Postmaster
General Frank Walker as one OF
the Influential persons" with
whom Japanese Ambassadors No
mura and Kurusu were dealing in
the critical days Immediately be-
fore the war. He said, however,
that the report as to Walker was
only 'hearsay'' so far as he was
concerned.
Earlier in the hearings, the com
mittee had been given a copy Of
dispatch from Nomura and Kurusu
to Tokyo advising that they were
talking with influential individ'
uals behind their frontal negotia
