U. s. to RetaIiate
Against Japan for
Holding Americans

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10 CUP)-
The United States may couple its
stern protest to Japan with retail
atory measures which would have
the effect of prohibiting Japanese
and other foreign nationals from
leaving this country without special
permission, authoritative sources
said today.
Disclosure of plans for sterner
control over the departure of for
eign nationals followed closely a
conference in Tokyo between U. S.
Ambassador Joseph c. Grew and
Japanese Foreign Minister Teijiro
Toyoda on matters of utmost i'm
portance."
Grew was believed to have pro-
tested strongly against Japan's re-
fusal to permit 100 Americans
stranded in Tokyo to be evacuated
by the U. S. liner President Cool
idge and the imposition of restric-
tionS upon the departure of other
American nationals.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
said that Japan has not yet made
satisfactory answer to American
protests against the treatment OF
It's nationals. He declined TO discuss
the conference held by Grew and
Toyoda until the ambassadors re-
port could be decided.

in this show, and it sounded pretty
good to me.
We spent a week doing nothing,
much, but going on church parties and
hay rides and picnics. We played the
Rube City baseball team, and got
beaten. and we put on landing
party drill for the natives, and the
gyrenes got their pants muddy. All
the time, Wally was rehearsing and
rehearsiug; and the whole foredeck
had been rugged for stage by the
carpenters. All the time, the people
of Rube City were wonderful.
But not Senator Fodder Belt
Dempster. 1t got around that he was
as much opposed to the Navy as ever.
The landing drill was all very well,
he said, but what good did that do
the Middle West? He said the money
the Navy was spending ought to be

country was afraid it might have to
fight war some day.

bucks month.

hair and a couple of secretaries or

ever he went. He moaned that Senator
Howe had put the bite on him and
made him come all the way out from

could see he wasn't going to like the
