Hull Accuses Japanese of Outright Lies
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. (U.P.) Secretary of State Cordell Hull tonight
angrily told Saburo Kurusu and Kichsabure Nomura Japanese negotia-
tors, that their government�s answer to his memorandum was �crowded
with infamous falsehoods and distortions.�
Hull�s statement was read directly to Kurusu and Nomura after he
read Japan�s document handed to him at 2:20 p. m. EST.
The state department thus far had not published the document. How-
ever, a department statement described the scene as follows:
�Hull carefully read the statement presented by the Japanese am-
bassador and with the greatest indignation said, �I must say that in
all my conversations with you during the last nine months I never
uttered one word of untruth. This is borne out absolutely by the rec-
ord. In all my 50 years of public service I have never seen a document
that was more crowded with infamous falsehoods and distortions--on a
scale so huge that I never imagined until today any government
on this planet was capable of uttering them..�
Attacks on Hawaii Understood Continuing
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. (U.P.)--White House Secretary Stephen Early is-

within an hour or so of the time Nomura and Kurusu handed Secretary of
State Hull the Japanese reply to Hull�s memorandum.
Mr. Early said the army received distress signals from an American
vessel, presumably a cargo ship, 700 miles west of San Francisco.
�This indicates that Japanese submarines are strung out over the entire
area.� Mr. Early said.
