Chronology of War With Japan Because of the International Date Line, which runs north and south in the Pacific Ocean, many, if not most of the Far East war conflicts occur on dates more or less ahead of the corresponding American date. For this reason the Dec. 7 date. for example, is more practically a Dec. 7-8 date. At noon Tuesday in New York the clocks in the following cities record the time as follows: Honolulu 6:30 A, M. Tuesday San Francisco, 9 A. M. Tuesday London 6 P. M. Tuesday Singapore 12 Midnight Manila 1 A. M. Wednesday Tokio 2 A, M. Wednesday The International Date Line passes through Bering Strait with Asia to the west and Alaska to the east and takes another curve away from the 180th meridan to leave the Aleutian Islands on the east.
