FORWARD TO VICTORY, NOT BACK!
The frank report of Navy Secretary Knox, and
the appointment of an investigatory board of un-
questioned integrity to probe the Pearl Harbor dis-
aster are assurance that nothing is to be covered
up. Everything will be learned that it is service-
able to know. The officers in responsible posts at
the time have been replaced. But let us remember
this:
Pearl Harbor is the responsibility of Army, Navy
and civilian officials. But it was not something detach-
ed from the rest of American life. These men were
Americans. They thought and acted as Americans, ev-
en though they were professional American soldiers;
their every move was conditioned by the whole climate
of American thought, feeling and habit, the habit of
thinking that "it can't REALLY happen here." Every
American shares responsibility for the disaster.
The only investigation of Pearl Harbor that
will do the slightest bit of good now is to expose
pitilessly the elements of failure in such a way that
those same elements will never again contribute to
another failure. Scapegoats l'or past defeats win
no future victories.
Our task in the Pacific is not to rake through the
ashes of past defeats. It is not merely to avoid future
defeats. It is positive, offensive: our task is to destroy
every vestige of Japanese military, naval, and air pow-
er once and for all. It will not be done by weeping over
Pearl Harbor.
We must look forward, not back. The sneak at-
tack on Hawaii put the United States unexpectedly
on the defensive ax the outset. But we cannot re-
main there.
The Navy clearly was not at the peak of alertness
on Sunday morning, Dec. 7. But it is alert now. Its
task is to destroy "lie Japanese fleet. Forward with
the task!
To defend the Philippines is good. They must
be defended, reinforced if possible. So must Singa-
pore. Never forget that the loss of Singapore is
no mere British los;. It is a crucial point of Ameri-
can defense in the Pacific. We have only to ask our-
serves: what if Singapore is lost? What of the
Philippines then? What of the chance of the fu-
ture offensive?
* * *
For the present, perhaps defense is all that is
open to us. That is a purely military problem. But
in the long run defense wins no wars, and es-
pecially this one.
Every American eye, every American thought must
be fixed on the time when it will be possible to carry
the war to Japan, to drop on Japan 20 bombs for every
one that fell on Pearl Harbor, to crush once and for all
this military power whose mere existence makes im-
possible future peace in ch<f Pacific.
