“We felt it would be to more or less extent useful, especially after the navy was based at Pear] Harbor, that it remain there during the critical period’in our relations with other countries, especially Japan,” Hull replied. :

Nevertheless: he said, the United

States felt it must state its principles and keep negotiations going as long as possible “in ‘a desperaté “effort to stay the hand of the Jap army and navy for a few days or a few weeks.” . : The United States also hoped that y “preserving a fairly firm policy” + it might be

that he knew of no such agreement. Homer Ferguson (R. Mich.), raised the question. when

[Welles said the late President

Roosevelt and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill agreed

ONE. A Churchill proposal Aug. 10, 1941, that the United States and

Pacific would compel the U. 8. government to take counter measures even though they might lead to war. : TWO. A message from Churchill to Roosevelt Oct. 30, 1941, proposing that the two countries issue a warning to Japan and promising that Britain would “synchronize our action to yours.” 7 | Welles said the only pramise Mr. Roosevelt made at the Atlantic conference was that a warning would be given the Japanese. Hull testified last week that on his return from the Atlantic conferefice Aug. 17, Mr. Roosevelt told the Jap ambassador that if the Japanese took further military action the United States would be compelled to take “any and all steps” necessary to protect its legitimate rights and interests. Churchiil's Promise Welles said Churchill's promise of

the United States could have meant military and naval operations in

| view of - the imminent possibility of

hostilities. He stressed, however, that the British were acting 'unilaterally in that connection. Ferguson also called attention to the fact that the committee's fle of intercepted Japanese messages {showed nothing on reports fiom Washington to Tokyo from Aug. 16 to Aug. 29. : The file shows that Japanese Ambassador Kichisaburo Nomura sent message No. 708 to Tokyo on Aug. 16. It shows interception of messages from Tokyo to Washington Aug. 20-23-26. The next message from Nomura to Tokyo in the intercepts was dated Aug. 29 and bore No. 756. \ Ferguson asked Committee Coune sel William D. Mitchell to search state department files to see whether any were missing. He said it was “inconceivable” that there should be either a lapse in Nomura reports to Tokyo at that time or failure to intercept them.
