Saito informed the Secretary
of State that he had been in
structed by japanese Foreign
Minister Hirota to express ia
pans full regrets and apologies.
He added that the japanese gov
ernment was endeavoring to furnish
relief to the survivors of the Panay
now at Hohsien, but that this was
being made difficult by the severe
fighting between Chinese and 1apa-
nese in that area.
The japanese envoy said ne had
been given to understand that the
Panay survivors included SO crew
members and IS refugees who were
taken aboard the boat before she
was bombed.
Incident Held "Great Mistake"
Before receiving the American pro-
test, Saito told newsmen the incident
was great mistake, great blunder," ?"
and that the Japanese government was
genuinely regretful at the occurrence.
He said the American gunboat was
mistaken by japanese aerial bombers
for Chinese ship fleeing up the
Yangtze River with soldiers.
"Of course it was purely accidental, -
he declared. I'VE would have had no
reason to attack an American naval
ship"
Plane Ordered to Bomb Chinese Ships.
The Ambassador said his govern
ment had informed him that the
bombing was done by a japanese naval
airplane with orders to bomb all ships
loaded with Chinese soldiers on the
river.
Saito delivered his regrets shortly
after Mr.. Hull had laid latest reports
before President Roosevelt.
The Panay incident, meanwhile, was
brought up on the Senate floor. Sen.
ator Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky

1rnment's policy on the sinking of the
Panay would be decided on a national
patriotic basis with a complete alb.
sence of political consideration.
The President, they added, hoped
the American people and the press
would give him their understanding
support.
Stephen +. Early, presidential secre.
tary, who discussed the matter with
newSmen, did not give a fuller ex.
planation Of what the President hae
IN mind. Mr.. Early said Mr.. Roose.
velt had made all his engagements or

All Facts to Be Given Out.
Mr.. Early added that by presidential
direction the policy for the in1mediat.
future would be to give out all tn.
facts as they come in from the Fal
East
He said the President was informed
Of the Panay sinking shortly aftel
