today for the tragedy of Pearl
Harbor and the tall OF the Philip

called that William Randolph

fiScated American property AT
Shanghai. our state department
accepted their apologies.
MORE APOLOGIES
"1n 1897. when the Japs at
tackled the U.S.S. gunboat Panay
on the NangtLe River, again our

For many years, Japan had
been plotting 10 attack America.
In 1888. they signed the Axis
pact with Germany and Italy
against the democracieS."

To those who warned of the

of our far sighted Americans
like Mr.. Hearst"
At the conclusion Of the meet
