The state department began
moving swiftly Sunday night
when the sinking of the Panay

he was down early Monday to lay
the diplomatic groundwork for
Mr.. RooSevclt'S almost unprc-

Pittman protested that it is
little satisfaction" to have the
Japanese government on each
such occasion express regret"
and he demanded that high Japa-
neSc officers responsible for
"Such outragcs" be punished. 4
briStling demand that American
warshipS be recalled from the
Sino-JapaneSc war zone came
from Senator Robert Reynolds.

committee, and other oldstcrS,
cautioned against release of "hot

department that the British Gun
boat Bee had picked up ~ sur

three Standard Oil steamers
which also were bombed and part
ly destroyed by Japanese planes.
Saito reported to Hull that he
understood that Is refugees and
90 members of the Panay crew
had been taken TO HohSicn. He
said the japanese were attempt

but that fighting in that area
made the task difficult.

to allay American anger because
of their sinking of the United

The Japanese offered to ar
