JAPAN NC0NS|DERS
j. S. FLAG SALUTE
Military Honors for Slain

Weighed.
3y the Assnciatad praas

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Dec. 15.-Japan, already
having apologized and offered indem-
nifty for warlike attacks on the United
States gunboat Panay and three
American-owned steamers, was pre-
pared today to go even further II
necessary" to meet the diplomatic
emergency, government officials said.
AS an additional gesture of regret, it
was said, national salute to the
American flag and military honors for
the Americans killed Sunday in the
Yangtze River incident were under
consideration.
The general public was deeply con-
cerned, although the Japanese press
published little concerning the senti-
ment in Washington or the United
States and refrained from editorial
comment.
Headquarters Statement Published.
The newspapers, however, did print
a long statement of the Imperial Head
quarters, the highest Japanese mill
tary and naval organ, in which it was
charged that three gunboats among
the several vessels attacked by naval
flyers fired on the japanese warplanes
when the Panay was sunk.
The headquarters statement declared
that the Japanese airmen had re-
ported the vessels carried no flags"
and that many soldiers, apparently
Chinese. were sighted aboard them"
The press also carried Foreign Min
lister Koki Hirota's note to United
States Ambassador Joseph c. Grew in
which Japan rendered sincere apollo
gies," promised "indemnifications for
all losses" and to deal appropriately
with those responsible for the Incl
dent and announced "strict orders"
had been issued to prevent a recur-
renee Of the incident.
foreign Office spokesman, saying
that nobody is qualified to say any
thing about the Emperor" declined
to confirm or deny report that Hiro-
hito would grant an audience to the
foreign minister for presentation of
memorandum from President
Roosevelt.
Earlier a high japanese Official said
that the gist of the Roosevelt men,
orandum had been delivered to the
Emperor
Regarding Japan's next moves in
the tense diplomatic exchange, the
foreign office spokesman replied to all
questions: I'VE are still gathering in
formation. Hence it is too early to
discuss procedure"
Citizens Display Regret.
The display of Japanese regret at
the attack on the Panay and three
Standard Oil steamers took turns
which were strange to Occidental
eyes.
A delegation of seven schoolgirls in
their teens and their teacher visited
Ambassador Grew to express sorrow
Their spokesman said. The Japanese
women have no words to apologize
sufficiently" and voiced a hope that
Japanese American relations would
not be affected.
Mr.. Grew thanked the group and
promised to relay the girls sentiments
to Washington.

Panay Writer

Jim Marshall, the Far Eastern cor

was injured in the sinking of the
gunboat Panay, has visited Washing

two years with his wife, Mrs. Peggy
Marshall.
While here he wrote two features

parties Of out-of-toWn girls, and an
other, humor story about seeing
Washington from "rubber-neck" bus
For score of years before his as

administration is ready to protect
its interests in the Far East with all
the might it has at its disposal. But
the task of the administration would
not be easy If public opinion was not
behind the government. And with
great wisdom the Japanese govern
ment decided that quick apology and
the payment of an indemnity would
satisfy the rank and file of the Amer
ican people.
Details Kept Quiet.
Details of the steps of the Japan
ese government can be kept quiet in
Japan. That is to say, the foreign
Office can give out to the Japanese
press only those points which would
satisfy the people that their govern
ment has done everything possible
to repair an unfortunate mistake" 3"
Once the American government is
compelled to accept the full apology
OF the Japanese-the Chinese will not
be impressed by this because they
know the japanese methods-the task
Of Japan to establish its puppet gov
ernment in the conquered provinces
will be easy and when the second in
cldent occurs the American people
might react less violently than they
have reacted now.
This, it is believed in well-informed
quarters, is the reason for the attack
Of last Saturday and the quick apology
which followed it.
1t is because of this situation that
President Roosevelt requested that any
guarantee demanded from the jap
anese that such an incident will not
reoccur should come directly from
Emperor Hirohito himself. The civilian
government means nothing in Japan
But an assurance from the Emperor
himself whose word cannot be ques-
toned by the army leaders, means a
real guarantee. 1t is for the same rea-

THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-Two more
ships were sunk by submarines. Ber-

seven weeks of submarine warfare
will put English out of action"
England's best army and navy was
still her Foreign Office A long, ex-
tremely polite note was received in
Washington from London, thanking
the U. S. for taking care of Britain's
interests in Germany for so long. 1t

will for Britain in this country.
In Berlin, Zimmerman told a neu-

that the U. S. Government had not
confiscated German ships in America

Recess Prevents Vote
The first move towards defeating
the revolt against diversion was the
motion to recess apparently to pre-

which would have reduced the amount
to be diverted to $1,0O0,000 a year.
The motion was made by Representa-

the motion to recess and had insisted
upon a vote on his amendment, that
it undoubtedly would have carried. Bv

they fail in their efforts to block the
