SPECIAL RELEASE JAPAN AND THE U. S. AT WAR IN THE PACIFIC
Savagely and without warning, the Japs attack U. S. Pacific outposts with severe loss of life and property. Even while Jap envoys in the U. S. were talking peace!
Newsreel highlights of the latest theatre of war! While Japanese envoys "talk" peace in Washington, Jap naval planes rain death and destruction on Honolulu. Jap warships aim to destroy U. S. outposts in the Pacific, while Jap troops are on the move in the Far East, into Thailand, Burma and Malaya. Britain and America both prepare to declare war, while Americans on the "home front" are bitter in their denunciation of the unprovoked attack and firm in their resolve to fight to victory.
