 Perplexing Events
 Tokio, January 6 - (UP) -The Japanese government Is awaiting q report from Ambassador Debuchi at Washington before further con sidering the case of American Con- sul Culver Chamberlain, attacked by Japanese soldiers at Mukden.
 It was understood that Premier Inukai's instructions to Debuchi in- cluded complete explanation of the Japanese viewpoint of the in- cident.
 Officials of the American em- bassy here have left settlement of tho affair to Washington, but are understood to be inclined to ac- cept the Japanese suggestions that perhaps Chamberlain was angered when stopped by Japanese sentries, and that the incident might have been avoided if he had been fa- miliar with Japanese. (Chamber- lain has been described as mild hammered" and slow to take of fense).
 The army clung to the position that Chamberlain was not entirely blameless and that while the sen tries and the interpreter who at tackled him will be reprimanded, their actions do not deserve severe punishment.
