This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for them- selves.

As Commander-inChief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

ya will we remember the chara ter of the onslaught against No matter how long It may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people In their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

'I ask that the congress declare that since the unprovoked and das tardly attack by Japan on Sunday, Dec. 7, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire." He said the United States was 'suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." The United States, he said, was then at peace with Japan, and, at Japan's solicitation, was still seek ing a formula for peace in the Pa cific.

He recalled the fact that American ships have been re portedly torpedoed in the Pacific.
