DETROIT EVENING TIMES (THOSE CHEEKY xson)
'Jap Treachery
Once Defeated
Russia'—Knox
ANNAPOLIS, Md. Doc. 19[
< INS).—Secretary of (he Navy
Knox warned the nation today
that it is faced with "what prom-j
iscs. to be a long and costly war”
against “formidable” enem ie s
(equipped with powerful land and;
sea forces and the largest naval;
force, at present, in the Western:
Pacific, “where most of the sea
fighting will he done.”
j Knox, speaking at graduation
[exercises for the United States
■ Naval Academy’s class of 19*12
added however, that “formidable
though our enemies may he you
can be sure that victory—eventu
ally and inevitably will he ours.”
The hftvy chief cautioned that
“we must not underestimate the
enemy,” pointing out that “their
forces include a huge and highly
efficient army which, until very
recently, carried all before it on
the continent of Europe.” and “a
large, well-trained air force.”
LEADERS SKILLED
“Their men are brave with the
bravery of fanaticism,” he told
the 5*17 graduating “middies”
and a nationwide radio audience.
“Their leaders are skilled In the
art of war. And these leaders
will he completely without honor
or acruple in fighting the war—
mince only in this way can they
hope to win.”
Knox reviewed events in nego
tiations between the United States
and Japan that were going on even
as Nipponese bombers were drop
ping bombs on Pearl Harbor De
cember 7, and declared that "a
more damning account of infamous
treachery was never recorded in
the history of the world.”
“But we ought to have been
on our guard against treachery,”
: the secretary continued. “If we
had atudied Japan's record In
the war with Russia, when, in a
similar manner, they descended
upon the Russian fleet at a mo
ment when those two nations
were still at peace and destroyed
that fleet without warning—If
We had studied that and remem
bered that, we would not have
been surprised.
HALF HOUR ENOUGH
“Let us profit, and yoy young
, men who are going Into the
service particularly must profit,
from this lesson that one of the
greatest and most effective fac
tors in war is the element of
surprise—both for our oifense
and for our defense."
Knox contended that one-half
.hour notice that Japanese bombers
[were headed for Hawaii “would
have made all the difference in
the world.” He pointed out that
the Japanese assault was made in
three attacks, with the third fol
lowing two hours after the first.
“With all of the resources
that were left to the same army
and navy,” he said, “we “were
ready, and that attack never got
home.”
He explained that American
forces threw up such a heavy bar
rage from “every gun and every
ship” that Japanese bombers at
tempting to strike the third time
were driven off without making a
single hit with torpedoes or the
slightest damage to any ships or
equipment.
SERVES OUR PURPOSE
Knox declared the surprise at
tack on Hawaii “served the highly
useful purpose of driving home
with frightful force upon the
minds of our military leaders the
importance of guarding against
surprise, the imjiortance of never
underestimating the boldness and
resourcefulness of the enemy: and
upon the civilian population, it
drove home with a sense of horror
the treachery of the foe we have
to defeat.”
The secretary paid tribute to
the defenders of Pparl Harbor, de
clearing he never was “prouder of
the fighting qualities of our navy":
than during his recent inspection
trip to Hawaii.
“From the top admirals to the
newest seaman fresh from train
ing station,” Knox told the grad
uating midshipmen, “they fought
with gallant courage and a com
plete disregard of personal dan
ger.”

Mayor Forbids
Blackout Tests
Because be docs not believe pub
lic nervousness should be exploited,
Mayor Edward J. Jeffries Jr. today
said there will not be any practice
blackouts or practice air raid
alarms in f)etroit.
The mayor said blackouts, un
less very carefully pre|uired, could
be dangerolis and also would re
quire the shutting down of "almost
every form of activity here."
i The mayor also said he "had
[something to do" with canceling
|an air raid alarm show which was
to have been a feature of an air
show to be held next month at
