While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotia­ tions, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japan­ ese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for contin­ ued peace.

These truck accident pictures mere taken some 20 years ago by Drew LUebb who liued with his parents, the late M. and Mrs. S. Richard lilebb. The accident happened some 100 feet from their doorstep under the railroad bridge which spanned Stockton Street only 50 or 75 feet from the Rllen & Stults building. These truck accidents happened many times because the trucks were too high for the bridge. Howeuer, the foot span from the road to the bottom of the tuck was displayed on the side of the bridge. One young truck driuer told us after his truck collided with the bridge that he had gotten fired. That was his first and last time down Stockton Street.

Also, truck driuers did not notice the bridge until it was too late or they were rid­ ing too fast to stop in time to assess the problem. This accident happened on Saturday night around midnight. The special police officer in the one photo is the late James Jackson.
