to Japan. Churchill Asked Warning

that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill urged President Roosevelt to issue a war warning to Japan Nov. 30, 1941. Churchill's request was read into the records of the committee. Churchill believed a blunt warning to the Japanese might stop their aggressive program that ‘brought the Pearl Harbor attack seven days later, He promised that Britain would make a similar declaration or share in a joint declaration if Mr. Roosevelt would make one. Welles said he felt after Nov. 30 that the only reply the Japanese would have ‘ apcepted would have been “complete acquiescence to the demands they made.” - : _He ‘said he felt that Japanese movements reported Dec. 6, 1041 the day before Pearl Harbor “meant war” He referred to a message of that date from U, 8.

| Charter meeting to' try to stall the Japanese for at least four months. } “Parallel Action’ Welles sald the only agreement to his knowledge was one to take “parallel action” in warning Japan aginst continued aggression. : Hull revealed that a "modus vivendi,” or temporary agreement (with Japan) was drawn up Nov. 25, 1941. He said it was discarded without being submitted to Japan, however, when China protested and other interested governments (Bfitish and Dutch) were unenthusiastic. He submitted a 10-point statement of principles to Japan instead. Becalisé of Hull's delicate physical condition he was excused before committee members.had a chance! to question him further, He agreed to return any time the committee | wants him. Senator Brewster, who first raised the question of a possible allied agreement, said he was satisfied that nothing in the evidence in the first week of hearings showed that there were any positive commit, | ments. He did not, however, rule | out further search along that line. Committee questions .about the “modus vivendi” and possible allied commitments rose principally from a huge volume of documents submitted in connection with Hull's testimony. ‘
