MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1946" THINKING OUT . LOUD By H. M. L. It was five years ago last Saturday that the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor. Most of us can remember hearing the news over the radio and sitting petrified while the story was told. We had known that all was not well with our relations with Japanese government. In our smug lives nothing, not since the Republic was born, equalled—thigs stunning fact of the attack. We came abruptly upon. a national catastrophe, our minds all unprepared. The Japs, an Asiastic people, that we thought so far inferior in fighting strength at least, that we never dreamed they would have the temerity to attack us, had attacked. More than 3000 of our boys were killed to prove that our government in Washington was wrong, in fact, that we:were all wrong. The Japs spread through the Pacific rapidly they boiled down in the South Pacifje threatening Australia. In the meantime we declared war, hurriedly reformed a navy that had been practically destroyed in the Pacific, a loss that neither our people noT the Japanese ever inventoried until . months later. Then came the long . agonizing years when we built and fought a5 fast ships were launched. The first blow was at : Ileanal, and from there on -the was hard.
