Then he said of Truman: "He I

LATE PRESIDENT
WANTED PATROL IN
FAR EAST WATERS

1910, more than a year before the
United States entered the war.
Knox summoned him and Ad-
miral Harold R. Stark, chief of
naval operations, to the Navy Sec
retary's office, Richardson said.
Knox said he had talked to the
President, the witness related, and
the President was concerned with
the possibility of Japanese reac-
ton against the British as the re-
suit of the scheduled opening OF
the Burma road on October II.
THE Secretary said that the
President, in the event that the
Japanese took aggressive action,
was considering shutting off all
trade between the Japanese and
the Americas" Richardson said.
Knox said, the witness went on,
that the President had suggested
that two lines of light ships be
stationed, one from Hawaii to the
Philippines and the other from
Samoa to the Dutch East Indies.
Inc question Was Fdlseu al Vic
confer e, Richardson said,
whether this involved the stopping
of Japanese ships. He said the
view was expressed that the stop
ping Of such vessels would mean
war.
II asked if the President was
considering a declaration of war, :"
the witness said.
He said Knox replied that he
didn't know, all he knew was what
he had been told by the President
which he was passing along.
Il was amazed at the proposal"
Richardson testified, land l stated
that the fleet was not prepared to
put the proposal into effect or for
the war that would result"
Richardson named DR.. Stanley
K. Hornbeck as the State Depart
ment adviser who was exercising
more influence than he over align
ment of the fleet in October, 1910
He described Hornbeck "as the
strong man on the Far East"
