Despite the Japanese government S

ton to the serious damages the Ameri-

apparently the fact that the American
Government will hold the japanese
financially responsible for any damages
the Americans may suffer and is re-
ported to have also mentioned the fact
that the other interested nations may
equally claim damages from the Japa-
