He gave the cabinet re peated warnings before Dec. 7, 1941, that Japan could be ex pected to attack "anywhere, anytime,” since there appeared to be no hope of successful diplomatic negotiations. 2. Hull said that only by the United States yielding “fundamen tal principles” could the Pearl Hartyr attack have been prevent ed, with the prospect that it would have come after Japan “consoli dated the gains she would have made without fighting.” AVOID SHOWDOWN 3.
