MCU Sec. of State Cordell Hull speaking about Japanese memo, "Here is the memorandum presented to me as you can see it is quite a lengthy document, I read it hurrily discovering that it contains a recycle of montrous accusations against the United States. Charging it among other things w/quote, "scheming for the extension of the war, preparing to attack Germany and Italy, two powers struggling to establish a nw order in europe. And ignoring Japan's sacrifices in the 4 years of the China affair menacing the Empire's existence itself and dispariging its honor and prestige." After reading the note I said to the Japanese emisary I have never seen a document that was more crowded with infamous falsehoods and distortions on a scale so huge I never imagined a government on this planet was capable of uttering them."
