When the first ghastly day was over, Honolulu began to reckon up the score. It was one to make the U.S. Navy and Army shudder. Of the 200,000 inhabitants of Oahu, 1,500 were dead, 1,500 others injured. Not all the civilian casualties occurred in Honolulu.

In Venezuela, Colombia, elsewhere in & outside the Hemisphere, oil companies have investments that make their Mexican properties look like peanuts...
