1) "... the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago... [during which] the Japanese Government has deliberately sought... [false] hope for continued peace."
2) "The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands... American ships have been reported torpedoed..., [and] yesterday the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands..."
The first excerpt shows that Japan gave the US a false sense of hope by saying they are reigning in their expansions and hope to continue to have peaceful relations with the United States. The second excerpt then shows what Franklin was talking about, in that they used the 'guise of peace to backstab the US in hopes of continuing their expansion eastward.
sentence 1 (It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago.)
and sentence 2 (During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.)
