responsible for such outrages. The
names of these officers should be de.
termined and they should be punished
Only such punishment will demon
strate the good faith on the part OF
Japan and tend to stop the series OF
violations of international law.
Purpose of Incidents.
The japanese government sub-
1ects itself to the reasonable suspicion
that such incidents are deliberate and
nave for their purpose the frighten-
ing OF the nationals of neutral coun-
tries so they will demand of their gov.
ernments withdrawal of all repre-
sentatives and nationals in China.
1T is in entire accordance with
international law and necessary fo1
neutrals to have their ships in a vas,
country like China for the purpose
OF protecting the lives and health OF
their nationals and to render them
the customary aid and assistance.
THE Panay was engaged in a law
ful enterprise outside of any imme-
diate war zone The right of sucn
vessels on the Yangtze-Kiang Rivers
as protection against pirates who
have always infested that river-in
fact, all waters of China-has been
recognized for 100 years. Japan has
never denied this right"
McCarran Differs.
Senator Pittman's colleague, Sena-
tor McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada,
said, on the other hand, that I'VE
should have been out of Chinese
waters long time ago."
"As soon as our Government gave
notice" Senator McCarran added, "all
United States citizens should have
gotten out. They are jeopardizing all
Americans for their own selfish in
terests"
A similar attitude was taken by
Senator Shipstead, Farmer Labor, of
Minnesota. He asked, What were
they doing over there, anyway" and
demanded withdrawal of all American
military forces from the zone of hos
tilities.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, took a different view. He said
the gunboat was performing a neces-
sary function and that it was not
necessary to withdraw all protection.
Serious Incident Seen Unlikely.
Discounting the likelihood of a seri-
GUS international incident, Senator
Thomas said the Japanese had as
sumed full responsibility" which
meant that they would do all they
could to make reparation for the
damage.
You only have trouble when peo-
pie deny responsibility, Senator
Thomas, a member of the Foreign
Relations Committee, commented.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah,
said that the Japanese had "deliber-
ately violated the nine-power treaty"
and that it was too late to hope"
that they would halt their undeclared
war.
Other comment:
Senator Borah, ranking Republican
member Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee:
I don't see anything in the situ-
alton that calls for drastic action"
Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New
York: 1T is very serious thing"
Representative Knutson, Republican.
OF Minnesota: I'VE should immediately
put into effect an absolute embargo on

u S. Proves Security. Liberty are Compatible

It isn't always easy TO recognize
a historic process when you are IN
the middle OF It. For that reason
we have been slow to see the tre-
mendous importance OF our current
struggle to regain prosperity and
iron out the bumps in our economic
life.
President Roosevelt touched on
this point in his message TO Con-
gress. ..
The economic breakdown, he re-
marked, had led many Americans
to doubt "the successful adaptation
of our historic traditions 10 the
complex modern world" This. he
added, was in itself a challenge to
our form of government
"Ours was the task" he added.
ito prove that democracy could be
made TO function in the world of
today as effectively as In the
simpler world of 100 years ago.
Ours was the task to do more than
to argue theory"
Any American can have his own
opinion, of course, as to whether
the administration has performed
that task well or poorly. The point
to remember is that all our troubles
of the last six or seven years simply
add up to great. crucial test OF
democracy and freedom.
In some countries overseas, where
democracy was of recent and un-
certain growth, that test came out
disastrously. Beset' by troubles
they could not solve, the people
turned entirely away from demo-
cracy, decided that freedom was a
poor thing if starvation went with
it, and called on the dictators 20
