That is a shocker to be honest considering that he wrote the book "War is Racket" in he said;
"The Japanese, a proud people, of course will be pleased beyond expression to see the United States fleet so close to Nippon's shores. Even as pleased as would be the residents of California were they to dimly discern through the morning mist, the Japanese fleet playing at war games off Los Angeles." He was speaking of US military war games in the Pacific in 1935 that he felt would only serve to provoke the Japanese.
