                                            Feb. 1, 1941

CONFIDENTIAL                                               10465

       From:        Chief of Naval Operations
       To:          Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet

       Subject:     Rumored Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.


          1.        The following is forwarded for your information.
       Under date of 27 January the American Ambassador at Tokyo
       telegraphed the State Department to the following effect:

          "The Peruvian Minister has informed a member of
          my staff that he has heard from many sources,
          including a Japanese source, that in the event
          of trouble breaking out between the United States
          and Japan, the Japanese intend to make a surprise
          attack against Pearl Harbor with all of their
          strength and employing all of their equipment.
          The Peruvian Minister considered the rumors
          fantastic.  Nevertheless he considered them of
          sufficient importance to convey this information
          to a member of my staff."

          2.        The Division of Naval Intelligence places no
       credence in these rumors. Furthermore, based on known date
       regarding the preset disposition and employment of Japanese
       naval and army forces, no move against Pearl Harbor appears
       imminent or planned for in the foreseeable future.
