Pearl Harbor alert recall marks 1940s debate on war
In a retrospective note, Ely of Pearl Harbor recalled that the U S was not ready for war and cited president statements from 1985 and 187 about avoiding involvement. Dewey’s 1940 suggestion of a two ocean navy drew the president’s remark that it was plain dumb. A separate report from Conshohocken Pennsylvania notes police and State Liquor Control Agents seizing a huge still and 500 gallons of legal wine, calling it the largest bootlegging operation ever uncovered in Montgomery County.
