Roosevelt, Admiral Noyes & The Missing December 4 War Signal

December 4, 1941 [8 a.m.] Radio Tokyo, Japan, transmitted "East
Wind, Rain". This was the signal that Japan intended to wage war
against the United States. This message was received by the White House
within minutes. Copies of this message were produced at both the
sending and receiving ends. An extra copy, plus two carbon copies, were
produced on a regular typewriter, at the sending end. / "This original
message has now disappeared from the Navy files and cannot be found. It
was in existence just after Pearl Harbor and was collected with other
messages for submission to the Roberts Commission. Copies were in
existence in various places but they have all disappeared." / "The last
time I saw that message after the attack on Pearl Harbor about the 15th
of December, ADMIRAL NOYES CALLED FOR THE ASSEMBLING OF ALL IMPORTANT
MESSAGES INTO ONE FILE, TO SHOW AS EVIDENCE TO THE ROBERTS COMMISSION"
