Last week the U.S. President and the War and Navy departments showed that they could act boldly and move fast. The appointment of a Board of Inquiry headed by Supreme Court Justice and the displacement of the army, navy and army air force commanders in Hawaii followed immediately upon the U.S. Secretary of state's round-trip flight to the island and his report that the sea and air forces were not on the alert when the Japanese attacked. The men in the State Department who engineered the policy of appeasement, which for the past four years has assured both Japan and the United States that this country would permit one aggression after another rather than risk trouble, are full partners in the guilt of Pearl Harbor.
