H. Probe WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 (UP) j Joseph Clark Grew,' last U. S. embassador to Japan,, said today that Japan broke off diplomatic relations and attacked Pearl Harbor at the very time he was trying to deliver a last-minute appeal for peace, from the late President Roosevelt to Emperor Hirchito. Grew described in detail for the Pearl Harbor investigating committee those last hours in Tokyo before tne sneaK attacK of December 1, 1941, which started the Pacific war. He said he still was trying to get an audience with the !?mperor to deliver the president's note, dispatched tha day before Pearl Harbor, when he was told that the Washington negotiations were ended. The attack had oc- . curred four hours earlier. He learned about it later in the newspapers, Grew said. Grew was preceded before the committee bv former Secretary of State Hull who testified that: '1. Basing the U. S. fleet at Pearl Harbor in 1940 and 1941 was "throughly justified." . 2. By November 26, 1941, when this country replied to Japanese demands made in a note on November 20, it was too late to stop a Japan which was already 1 "hell bent on an aggressive policy." The Japanese nota of Novem ber 20 constituted an ultimatum to the United . States they "wanted us to furnish all the oil they needed to attack us" and this government rejected it "with some reason.
