to do so in any manner which will
be most helpful.
From Mr.. Stimson to Mr.. Hull,
dated September IA, 1874:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Members of the board, which
has been directed by the War De-
partment to ascertain and report
the facts relating to the attack
made by the japanese armed forces
upon the Territory of Hawaii on
December 7, 194l, have read parts
of the book, Ten Years in Japan"
written by former Ambassador
Joseph c. Grew
The board may desire to place
certain facts set forth in the book
in its record. For that purpose Am
bassador Grew may be requested to
appear as a witness by the board
after its return to Washington, on
or about the 23d day of September.
1t would be appreciated If you would
call this to Ambassador Crews at
tention and make him available as
witness.
Testimony has been adduced in
which it is alleged that on the 26th
of November, l941, an ultimatum
was delivered to Japan by the
United States and that this was
done Notwithstanding joint recon-
mendation to the President by Gen
Marshall and Admiral Stark that
no ultimatum of any kind should be
made to Japan.
This evidence is to the further
effect that responsible officers in
Hawaii were not advised of the de-
livery Of the ultimatum. The board
requests that the Secretary of State
inform 1t, either in writing or by
oral testimony, as to the truth or
falsity of these statements about the
delivery of the November 26th ulti-
matum.
Memorandum Studied.
The Secretary Of State is advised
that the board has before it, and has
considered, the memorandum of the
Secretary Of State to the Japanese
Ambassador In Washington, dated
November 26, l941, and appearing on
page $40 ct seq, of the book, WAR
and Peace-United States Foreign
Policy, 1881 -1941" recently published
by the State Department.
In replying to request made by
the Roberts commission, the Secre-
tary Of State sent letter to that
commission, in which he discussed
the information which he had given
the Secretary of War and other
representatives of the War Depart
ment, touching the relations be-
tween the Japanese Empire and the
American Government in that
period covered by the letter.
The original letter is in the files
'of the Navy Department at Wash
ington and has been made avail
able to this board. 1t would be
helpful If the Secretary of State
would advise whether or not he now
considers that letter d complete
statement of all of the information
transmitted to the War Depart
ment by the State Department dur
ing the described period.
T During the year 1941 were any
requests made by the State Depart
ment on the War Department or
the Navy Department respecting the
employment or location of our
armed forces? If such request or
requests were made the board would
like to be informed of their ma
ture.

Arosemena, Former
President Of Panama,
Dies in New York
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Florencio
Marmodio Arosemena, 70, former
President of Panama, died yester-
day at Polyclinic. Hospital after .
long illness.
Mr.. Arosemena was President OF
the Central American Republic
from October, 1928, until overthrown
by revolt in Panama City January
2, 1881. In recent years he had re-
tired from active politics.
He was a member of a family
prominent in Panamanian political
affairs. Mr.. Arosemena came to
this country about month ago
from Panama.
Besides his widow, Mrs. Hersilia
Arosemena, he is survived by q
daughter Selma and a son Bey.
In Bilbao the government Of
Panama decreed three days of
mourning. A commission was named
TO arrange a state funeral.
Was Civil Engineer.
/ A civil engineer before his en-
trance into politics, Mr. Arosemena
was educated in Germany and
Switzerland. He was graduated
from Munich University in 1895 and
returned to Panama, where he en-
barked on a career as a construc-
ton engineer.
He built the government palace in
Panama, the City Hall, the National
Theater, the National Institute and
other public buildings.
Nominated in 1928 for president.
he was elected without opposition
after the opposition party refused
to go to the polls on the request of
its candidate, DR.. Jorge E. Boyd, who
withdrew.
President Arosemena found his
administration under constant fire
from the opposition on charges OF
living beyond its income.
Reduced Salaries.
President Arosemena cut the SAL
aries of hundreds of government en-
ployes and this brought charges
from his opponents that he was en-
forcing his economy program at the
expense OF the poorer paid employees.
Early on the morning of January
y, 1881, a group of revolutionaries
attacked the palace and rushed the
homes of government officials. With
IN short time they overthrew the
government after 10 persons were
killed and "a wounded.

which I sent on December 80, 194l
to Justice Roberts, chairman of the
commission to investigate the facts
and circumstances connected with
the Japanese attack on Pearl Har-
Dor on December 7, 194l, contains q
complete statement Of all the in
formation transmitted to the Wal
Department by the Department oi
State during the period to which
my letter of December 80, 1941
relates.
Held Many Conferences.
As stated in that letter, which was
in response to a request for infor-
nation in brief and summary form,
during the year 1s41 had many
conferences with the Secretary of
War and at intervals conferences
with the chief of staff and officers
of his staff and at those conferences
I sought full interchange of in
formation and views relating to crit
ical situations all over the world
In the Pacific area.
My letter was intended to give a
complete reply to the inquiry made
by Justice Roberts; it did not, of
course, go into the substances of the
considerable volume of information
communicated during that period to
the War Department.
AS already indicated, the serious
ness Of the situation created by the
presentation by the Japanese OF
their proposal Of November 20 was
discussed at frequent conferences
with representatives of the War and
Navy Departments and all impor-
tant factors concerning our rela-
tions with Japan during the period
in question we're carefully reviewed
AS stated in my letter to Justice
Roberts, at meetings Of the War
Council on November Is and No
vember % I emphasized the critical
nature Of the relations Of this coun-
try with Japan. I stated to the con-
ference that there was practically no
possibility of an agreement being
achieved with Japan; that, in my
opinion, the Japanese were likely to
break out at any time with new acts
Of conquest by force; and that the
matter of safeguarding our national
security was in the hands of the
Army and Navy
Matter for Military.
With reference to the War De-
partment's inquiry whether there
were, during the year 1941, any re-
quests made Of the War Department
or of the Navy Department by the
Department Of State respecting the
employment or location of our
armed forces, may state that I
regarded the. question of the dis
position of our armed forces as a
matter which lay within the COM
petence of the War and Navy De-
partments.
No record has been found of any
request during the year 1941 by the
Department Of State relating to the
location or employment of our
armed forces in Pacific waters or
in the Pacific area, to which re-
gions it is assumed that the War
Departments inquiry relates. If
this assumption is not correct,
shall be glad upon being so in
formed by the War Department to
have a further search made of the
departments files.
If I can further assist the board
in its investigations, I shall be glad

Ultimatum Denied.
It will be noted also that the
paragraph Immediately following
that passage reads as follows:
with this object in view the
Government of the United States
offers for the consideration of the
Japanese government a plan of a
broad but simple settlement cover
ing the entire Pacific area as one
practical exemplification of pro-
gram which this government en-
visages as something to be worked
out during our further CONVERSE
tions."
It will thus be seen that the docu-
nsent under reference did not con-
stitute in any sense an ultimatum
Furthermore, the document con-
tanned a restatement of principles
which have long been basic in this
country's foreign policy, and the
practical application of those prin-
ciples to the situation In the Far
East suggested in the document was
along lines which had been under
discussion with the Japanese repre-
sentatives in the course of the in
formal exploratory conversations
during the months preceding deliv-
cry of the document in question.

circumstances surrounding the max
ing of the Japanese proposal of
