SHANGHAI, Dec. l7.-(UPO--
Survivors of the United States
gunboat Panay arrived here to-
day aboard the Oahu, the Panay's
sister ship, and the British gun
boat Ladybird and were greeted
by the ringing cheers Of foreign
ers lining the waterfront.
Observers noted the flags paint
ed on the boats were visible blocks
away. The Panay was so identi-
fed but japanese bombers said
they thought it was Chinese
boat.
A court Of military inquiry in
the Panay sinking today is taking
place aboard the United States
flagship Augusta.
Admiral kiyoshi Hasewaga, Jap
anese fleet commander-in-chief,
has said he would do whatever is
necessary to liquidate the inci-
dents in the proper manner.
japanese spokesman stoutly de-
MED that the Panay was fired
upon after it started sinking and
survivors took to the boats.
Weldon James, in charge Of the
United Press offices at Marking.
who was among the survivors, told
how the attack was entirely unex-
pected but that the Americans
were mustered and manned ma
chine guns.
Orders were not needed. He
said the boat was rendered in u
sinking condition by the first
bomb, which blew a big hole in
the side.
Admiral Hascwaga today issued
a communique deploring the Jap
aneSe attacks on American and
British vessels which resulted in
the sinking Of the Panay and three
other American craft.
At the same time he described
victories against the Chi

Panay after the gunboat WAS

Explaining the machine-gun-

which carried native crews, and
presumed that they were Chinese
fleeing from Marking.
Several Japanese soldiers near
a pontoon where the attack oc-
Cured also were injured, he said.
While the Japanese are striving
frantically to allay American an

China announced her determina-

end.

The consul expressed the belief
that while the structure of the
League of Nations may be improved
upon, nevertheless, lit is a good

He paid tribute to President Roose-
velt's attitude concerning the Far
East conflict and hoped the United
States would assert its influence
in Justice for all"
The more salient facts of the
Japanese invasion were traced by
DR.. Chan, who said that in order
to understand affairs in Asia one
had to review the events of the
past go years. Because China has
always been a peace-loving people,
with no political aspirations out
side of her own borders, she has
been totally unprepared for the
present conflict. Up to 26 years ago,
China has been ruled by a monar-
chy, which had been declining for
100 years or more, the ruling class
being mired in corruption. 1t was
during this period that China lost
Korea and Formosa, being unable
defend her territory through lack
u unity, and unpreparedness
when Japan excuses the present
invasion on the grounds Of need
for expansion, it is the lamest kind
OF excuse" said DR.. Chan, "since
Korea and Formosa provide more
than enough room for hundreds of
years to come.
I'VE Chinese can endure econo-
mic pressure, but mental captivity
is beyond endurance" he declared.
He scorned the communistic myth,
citing instances in which the Chi
nese government has been suppress
Ing this movement for many years.
"The great push of Shanghai has
been unsuccessful because China is
fighting for her very existence" he
said, land the very fact that she
is poorly and unequelly armed tends
to show that the heart and soul of
the people is resisting the invasion.
We are a patient people, and have
endured many humiliations, hoping
for honorable terms of peace. In
spite of our many concessions, the
military party of Japan remains
unsatisfied, hoping eventually to
conquer the entire Asiatic main
land" DR.. Chan said, concluding
