ment provided that of the total

pers. quoting their Wash'ngton cor-
respondents. said the loan itself—
$3.750.000,000—and the $650,000,000
lend-lease aid settlement would be
repaid on precisely the same terms.

Marshall Deplores
Lack of Vigilant
Defense in Hawaii
WASHINGTON. Dec 6 —UP—
General George C. Marshall de-
clared today that if the Japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7.
1941, had been smashed by vigilant
defenders the whole Japanese cam-
paign of aggression would have
been ruined.
Marshall testified today that
early in 1941 he decided “to rob
practically all combat pursuit
squadrons In the United States of
most of their P-36 planes” for
the defense of Hawaii.
Marshall, then chief of staff of
the army, also told a congressional
committee Investigating the Japa-
nese attack on Pearl Harbor four
years ago that he knew of no
commitment by President Roose-
velt for the United States to go
to war before it was attacked.
The matter of sending additional
pursuit planes to Hawaii was
brought up by William D. Mitchell,
J commute counsel.
Agreement Recalled
Mitchell recalled a war-navy
department agreement In early
1941 that attack from the air was
Pearl Harbor’s No. 1 danger.
As a result of that, Marshall
said, he sought “to see what radi-
cal measures might be taken to
meet to a degree" the needs of
the Pacific outpost.
”1 made the decision,” he said,
"to rob practically all combat
pursuit squadrons in the United
States of most of their P-36
planes.”
Marshall was questioned at
length concerning the pre-war
allied conferences, presumably with
'.'fvunv- ‘A ■ ,«rier.'lor.j that then'
was a U. S. commitment to go to
war before the Japanese raid on
Pearl Harbor.
leaving for China
Marshall was called belore the
congressional Investigating com-
mittee to testify before leaving on
his new assignment as President
Truman's special diplomatic rep-
resentative to China.
Thc retiring army chief of staff
took cognizance of thc charges
levelled against him by an army
board which investigated the at-
tack a year ago. President Truman
and Secretary of War Henry L.
Stimson both denounced the army
board's criticism of Marshall.
Tlie army board. In a report
Issued last August, charged that

ing tenseness of the Japanese sit-
uation which Indicated an increas-
ing necessity for better preparation
for war, of which Information he
had an abundance and Short had
