AS every one knows now, we made

I needed it. In Honolulu bad weather

Finally, on Monday afternoon, De-

off was o. KID by flight officers. The
clipper took to the air easily, and
knew that my journey had reached
final stages.
The next land that I would see
would be the good old United States
Of America. Halfway along our jour-

were informed that we had better plan
on landing at San Pedro, the Navy air

the China Clipper at Manila. We
were prepared to charter this boat,
but it looked so ancient that I decided
it would be wiser to check up on it's
sea performance. compared the rusty
vessels reputation for speed as known
to marines in Shanghai, against its
shippers boasts, and even after giving
the skipper a great benefit Of doubt,
I became convinced that it would be
very hazardous to entrust myself to
its leaky boilers Its speed was more
imaginary than actual.
1t was then that the Navy came to
my rescue again, and when they
stepped into the breach which pre-
vented my connection with the China
Clipper, knew I was in safe hands.
Speedy Destroyer Offered.
1t was arranged that I would board
the destroyer Stewart for the trip to
Manila. The Stewart is one of the
fastest American boats in Asiatic
waters. A convoy of other American
destroyers was ordered, to accom-
pany us.
Just before I left, Jim Marshall,
writer for Golfers, entrusted me with
many valuable documents and stories
which he asked me to deliver for him
when reached New York. I am
glad that was able to do this for
him and I sincerely hope Jims neck
wound has healed by this time.
I heaved great sigh of relief when
my films were placed inside the Stew
art safe. The officers of the boat gave
me every consideration and attention.
We steamed out of Shanghai with
belching tunnels at q rate of speed
that assured making the clipper at
Manila with time to spare. This
allayed a great nervousness on my part

was the one man in the world with
pictorial proof of the true stories of
the disaster. As far as I was con-
cerned, the world was going to get
this proof. For this reason I made
up my mind to guard that Aim with
my life.
I felt assured when it was in the
safe of the Stewart I decided that

1 would sit right on that film every
other mile OF the way back home.
A few Of the Navy officers told me
that my 5000 feet of film record might
prove to be the most important ever
made Of world political history.
l knew that my pictures OF the
Panay attack and sinking would be
seen by the entire United States "a to
~ hours after I landed in San Fran
cisco. I knew then, too, that a COM
plete unedited print of my negatives
would probably be sent to Washing
ton for United States Government
diplomats and Navy heads to see.
Aboard the Stewart l received q
radiogram telling me that my home
once had insured my Aim for more
than $250,000 to protect its interests
in the picture during its transit from
Manila to America. No insurance
policy was needed for the picture while
1t was in the safe of the destroyer
Stewart.
Some 400 miles out of Manila,
something happened that caused the
command Of the ship to suggest to me
that I neither send nor receive any
further radiograms. This was the
appearance of Japanese scouting
plane overhead. We watched it awhile
and then it flew on to the west. The
lnforma! opinion of some OF the ofi-
GERS aboard the boat after reaching
Manila was that were it not for the
rough seas along the South China
coast, which was being patroled by
considerable portion of the japanese
neet We might have been intercepted.
The fact I was carrying the Aim was
known to the Japanese. In Shanghai,
had discussed the attack with
Japanese ofacer who came aboard the
Augusta to proffer his sympathy and
obtain report. 1t might or might
not have been significant. when the
interview was ended that he politely
inquired If it was my intention to 70

erful as the purely domestic forces

out that they should not be allowed

IN our international trade relations.
Whereas the spending Of billions

enduring recovery requires real solu-
ton OF the major depression prob

cutting loose the chains that have

like the facility 1t is done between our,
48 States. =,
Bilateral trade agreements, ie.,
pacts between two countries whereby
each lowers its tariffs for the purpose
OF expanding the trade Of both, have
been made with many countries. But
the one now under negotiation with
England far overshadows all the 9TH

NEW YORK, Sept. IA heavy in
flow of gold from Europe accompany
ing the latest war scare is expected in
banking circles eventually to contribute
toward further expansion in surplus
reserves of member banks of the Fed
eral Reserve system.
Temporarily gold arrivals have not
been reflected in the reserve figures
because the United States Treasury
has paid for the metal out of its gen.
eral funds instead of issuing gold Ger
tificates against newly-acquired metal.
But bankers question whether the
Government would continue to do this
indefinitely because 1t costs money in
interest charges to pay for gold imports

gold certificates to the Reserve banks.
