made war on us, we could destroy
Tokyo in three days by air and

AS this was going on, Admiral
Kimmel and Gen. Short in Honolulu,

Army by listening to the Army

Meantime, the Japanese came all
the way from Tokyo to fish of Pearl

fish, they radioed their catches back
to Tokyo. A sample report:

@. When was the u. S. S. Missouri
launched? How large is it?-V. r.
A. On January 20, 1914. This 49,
000-ton battleship required about
4 1000 900 man days Of work to build.
1t is equivalent to an 18-story build
ing in height, with seven of these
stories under water.
@. What two members of the Su-
preme Court formerly were mayors
of cities?-F. B. A.
A. Justice Frank Murphy was
Mayor of Detroit from 1890 to 1888.
Justice Harold H. Burton served as
Mayor of Cleveland from 1885 to
1910. He had been acting Mayor
of the city from November 9, 1881,
to February 20, 1882.
@. How high is Vesuvius?-J.
B. D.
A. The height varies from time
to time but has averaged 1000 feet
above sea level. In the eruption
of March. 1914. Vesuyius added 400
feet to its height. The crater was
widened greatly at the same time.
@. Is the Mayflower Compact still
in existence?-F. Nc D.
A. The original Mayflower Com
pact is not In existence.
@. Is the distance of the earth
from the sun changing with the
years?-L. c. F.
A. Jeans has calculated that the
earth is spiraling from the sun at
a rate of a little more than a yard
in a century. In a billion years,
therefore, the average distance be-
tween the two bodies will be 101,-
$4,000 instead Of 92,300,0O0 miles.
q. Are the men who are being
discharged now given an allowance
for clothes in addition to their mus
tering-out pay?-J. K. w.
A. No. The mastering -out pay is
$l00 for those who serve so days or
less. For more than 60 days 5000
is paid those who serve within the
United States and $500 for those
who serve overseas. There is no
special discharge allowance for
clothes. Such provision has been
suggested but no action was taken.
. @. May the wife of a veteran be
buried in national cemetery if
she dies before her husband?- H. p.
A. The wives of both officers and
enlisted men may be buried with
their husbands in a national ceme-
terry. The wife may be inferred
prior to the death and burial of
her husband provided the officer or
enlisted man gives assurance that,
of whether or not he re-
marries. he eventually will be buried
in the adjacent grave site reserved
for the purpose.

And it maAenable the present and

These an all desirable ends
But the hnechief1y developed thus
far Is one calculated to achieve
even more, II its significance is
realized by tf statesmen and plain
people of oui country.
Two Ma nes Submerged.
Already sui merged in the pro-
ceedlngs are lhe two men whose
names f1guredbo largely in the de-
mand for the inquiry, the general
and the admira who were in COM
mand OF Uni1d States forces in
Hawaii when be sneak attack on
Pearl Harbor occurred. Likewise
submerged, for he moment at least
are the names 4 Gen. Marshall and
Admiral King. heads of the over
all command al that time.
The names Citing the headlines
are those of Rosevelt and Hull.
Everything nssible is sought by
some OF the eahest investigators to
show that theIthen President and
his Secretary oI State were unwise-
or worse-in heir diplomacy. BY
worse Is mean the suggestion that
occasionally feeps through, that
Roosevelt and Hull might actually
have been se8ing to bring us into
war with Japh, not to keep us out.
Everything pbsible is sought also
by some OF tn Investigators to con-
firm the susiicion or charge that
the President at least, was remiss
In his preparations for war.
Suppose tlh BIT those who sincerely
entertain thSe opinions succeed in
proving thef case, not merely to
their own satisfaction but to that of
the full con lmittee and the whole
country. Hat would we have then?
Franklin 3. Roosevelt would still
rate as one pf our great presidents.
Those who now attack him most
savagely mtst recognize that this
judgment oi the people will stand.
He was g'eat world leader, so re-
garded by friendly and enemy peo-
Piles the world around. BY any of
our fallible| human standards he was
extraordinarily we'll equipped to
meet the responsibilities that fell
upon him in a desperately critical
period.
Worlds Opinion.
AS for the former Secretary of
State, the American people are un-
likely to lose their pride in his ca
reer, one they like to consider typ
1cally American. And the worlds
opinion is embodied in the Nobel
peace award just bestowed on him.
Gen. Marshall and Admiral King
are accepted as among the ablest
men their respective professions
have produced. Nobody has chal-
lenged President Truman's state
ment concerning Gen. Marshall:
He takes his place at the head of
the great commanders of history"
So what will have been proved if
he Pearl Harbor inquiry leaves us
With doubts concerning the manner
n which Messrs. Roosevelt, Hull,

ion in the, Pacific in 1941 and the
