Pearl Harbor Evidence Substantiate Roosevelt Clash Possibility
Washington inquiry hears new evidence that Roosevelt considered an early clash with Japan before Pearl Harbor. A letter to Wendell Willkie from December 3 1941 suggests a Japanese alert was weighed and a clash could occur at any moment as officials anticipated action near the Dutch East Indies. The testimony aligns with prior statements by Admiral Stark about expectations of a first blow nearer Japan.
