24 hours. All the past embittered debates over foreign policy were forgotten in presenting a. united front to the enemy.

Mr. Roosevelt, his face lined and drawn, revealing the fatiguing effect of the previous 24 hours. entered the House chamber. Every- one arose. There was an outburst of appluase which began with an uproar of handclapping, was aus- tained and swelled in volume un- til finally it reached a tumult of shouts and cheers.

“Yesterday, Dec. seventh, 1941-: date which will live in infamy-Jr- United States of America was suddenly and del- iberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan," the {Resident said. With rising voice, he went on

to say that while the two nations were at peace and negotiating for a continuance of peace the Japa- nese struck, The distances which their forces had to traverse made it obvious. he said, that "the at- tack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks" ago.

"During the intervening time the Japanese Government has de- llberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for con- tinued peace."

The President's pace alackened, his tone grew dark as he brought the Congress bad news.

"The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused sev- ere damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that. very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been report- ed torpedoed on the high seas be- tween San Francisco and Hono-

cmtic anti Republican leaders of m,“

I-lc went on to say that Japan had attacked Malaya, Holig Kong, Guam, the Philippines, Wake Is- land and Midway Island. Japan. he. added. had undertaken a "sur- prise offensive throughout the Pacific area." ‘There followed the prediction of victory and s. great cheer from his listeners, who theretofore had sat silently ab- sorbed in the President's words.

"I believe," Mr. Roosevelt said, "that 1 interpret the will of Con- tress and of the people when I assert that we will not only de- fend ourselvea to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

"Hostilities exist. there is no blinking at the face that our peo- pie, our territory and our inter- ests are in grave danger.

"Wlth confidence in our armed forces-with the unboundlng de- termination of our peoplc_w.- will gain the inevitable triumph-so help us God,

“I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on sun- day, Dec. seventh, l. state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Etnpire."

The senate withdrew and went to work on the war resolution, previously prepared by chairman Tom Connall (Dem-Tex.) of the Senate Fore 8n Relations Com- mittee. Quietly and quickly it was proposed, put to a vote, and the Hayes", were heard in unbroken succession as the roll was called.

At intervals between mpcechu Miss Rankin clamored for recog- nition. s eaker Rayburn stead- flli-iy ed the other way. Even after the roll call had begun aha was endeavouring to make her- self heard. Rayburn stopped her with a reminder that. a House roll call could not be interrupted for speeches.

Numerous member: of the Home from both parties clustered about her rfleading that she vote for the declaration so that the action might be unanimous. They in- cluded representative Harold Knutson (Rep.-Mlnn.), the only other present member of the House who was a member in 1917 and voted against the declaration of war then. Miss Rankin refused and again and again ghe shook her head. Even after her vote was out, they were endeavouring to r- suede her w change it before the mull was announced.

CHICAGO, Dec. 8—(AP)—Base- hall's leaders turned their atten- tion w the war emergency today and the few atteanpts at. trade talks quickly fizzled,

What effect the new emergency would have on baseball was a mat- ter for conjecture. yet tn general the old heads of baseball agreed on two lnts-that. the game would do w atever the tvernment want- ed it to do, and hat for the time being. at least. it would not be ser- iously handicapped.

Commissioner Kenescw M. Lan- dis exclaimed:-

"Don't it beat, hell, they attack- ed without warning as hey dld the Russians years ago!"

What will it do to baseball?

"No one can even guess. It would be going away out on the limb if I ventured a prediction.”

Others said the war might halt night baseball in some sections if blackout should beccme necessary and the clubs which have arranged to train next. spring on the Pacific Coast were e. bit. disturbed.

During the day Chicago White 80x had c. fruitless trade talk with Detroit Tigers and Brooklyn Dodg- ers were in buddies with New York Giants and St. Louis Cardinals, but nothing resulted.

Business sessions of the

major leagues start tomorrow.
