Marshall Knew Of No Promises Before Dec.7,'41
Washington, (UP)—Gen. George C. Marshall said today he knew of no agreement before Dec. 7, 1941, committing this country to war unless attacked.
Marshall testified that he did not feel at the time there was any probability of a Japanese attack on the fleet at Pearl Harbor, but he said, he felt safeguards should be taken against all possibilities.
Marsal said he robbed training squadrons in the United States of planes with which to build up the air defense of Hawaii early in 1941.
The former chief of staff told the Pearl Harbor investigating committee of his efforts to build defenses for the Pacific outpost while simultaneously conducting a growing training program at home and supplying Great Britain in her war with Germany.
Marshall was called to tell his story of the Japanese attack Dec. 7, 1941, before he leaves on his new assignment as special diplomatic envoy to China. Spectators in the jammed hearing room greeted him with applause.

Map of "Your America" Showing Territory Served by the Union Pacific Railroad
For more than 75 years, Union Pacific has served eleven western states...been a partner in their development...transported their people and products. This vast territory produces a great variety of agricultural products which not only feed and clothes the nation but are converted into a myriad of industrial uses.
The same eleven states also are a source of other industrial materials such as ores, minerals, lumber and petroleum. Rivers have been harnessed—providing irrigation and power. There is dependable rail transportation.
This vast western area has materials and facilities required for postwar expansion. There is plenty of space for such expansion and for home-seekers who desire a healthful contented life among friendly people in scenic surroundings.
