Hull says Japan was hell bent for war in 1941 note disputed
Former Secretary of State Cordell Hull testified before a senate house committee on Pearl Harbor that the November 26, 1941 note was not an ultimatum and reflected general U S aims since talks began.

Hull defended the State Department position and recalled Admiral Richardson's warning without confirming a change in stance.
