Japs Begin 10 Wonder
II U. s., Britain Can
Save Face in China
BY The Assoeioisd Press

TOKYO. April 26.--Antiforeign
incidents In the Communist seiz-
ure Of China are causing the jap
anese to wonder how the United
States and Britain can save
face"
The Communist shelling Of Brit
ish warships In the Yangtze
brought the question Of prestige
into focus.
The drama was heightened by
the invasion by Red soldiers Of
the Marking residence Of Ameri-
can Ambassador j. Leighton
Stuart. an act which one foreign
diplomat here termed a very seri-
GUS violation of diplomatic inn
munity.
The Japanese-like many other
Orientals - are watching the
scramble from Shanghai. the re-
moval of American warcraft from
artillery range. the evacuation Of
American civilians. They are
watching every Western move for
q glimpse of strength or weakness.
1941 Drive Recalled.
Millions have not forgotten how
the japanese drove the foreigner
from Asia in 1941. To a vast
number of Orientals that with
drawal and the accompanying
Imprisonment of foreigners-was
so ignominious that prestige
could not be bought back COM
pletely with all the power, money
or diplomacy since demonstrated
by the Western world.
The parallel Of the Panay Incl
dent and the Amethyst is too
sharp, to be missed. The Com
munist soldiers who awoke AMI
bassador Stuart were If anything
more callous to tradition than the
Jananese wartime secret police
who routed hundreds of foreigners
from their beds for Questioning" "
Vice Admiral Russell s. Berkey,
commander of American naval
forces in. the Far East, touched on
one aspect of the Westerners'
prestige in a radio talk last night.
He said the Japanese Communists
are likely to become "bolder and
more troublesome" with the
Chinese Red victories.
China Events Watched.
Events in China, of course. will
not affect the internal operations
of the Japanese occupation. But
these developments-and the way
Westerners react to them-can
have a profound effect on the way
Japanese Communists regard the
American authorities they have
been opposing.
I'VE are afraid" said one jap
anese, "of what may happen If
the Americans try to be fair and
only succeed in appearing weak"
He appeared to be speaking for
those in this country and else
where in Asia who have based
their hope for a different kind of
life on the belief they will be Sup
ported by American power-and
the prestige it carries.

Department protest to the Com
munists over the incident was
forthcoming. The incident was
the first involving a foreign official

four British warships on the
Yangtze between Shanghai and

The Shanghai garrison COM
mand banned publication of all
war news except what it put out.
Since it was impossible to get any,

the Communists have enough

any time, and when they do they
probably will come fast.

of Reds was active a few miles

a vigorous protest with Com

after it was reported that armed
Communist troops had forced
their way into the building and
routed Ambassador J. Leighton
Stuart out of bed.
But there was some question
whether the Communists would

The invasion of the Embassy
and a report that the American

Communists entered the city raised
a cloud of uncertainty over Mr..

Private Flyers Opposed.
An official Of the Aircraft Own
ers' and Pilots Association said
the proposals are not acceptable
Ito that organization. He said the
association believes the restric-
tions are unnecessary and unfair
to the private flyer and have no
relation to the causes Of the No.
vember accident. He said that
|placing the outlying airports in
the control zone would make
those ports unavailable to many
pilots flying to Washington.
The average itinerant flyer, he
added, does not have radio equip
ment that will insure calling the
National Airport control tower
from as far away as Beltsville,
which would be required. But he
expressed confidence that there
would be substantial changes
made in the proposals before they
become effective.
The CAA replied that flyers
using the outlying airports would
not have to have two-way radios
to get in and out Of those fields.
Such flyers could not fly across
the control zone to their home
fields but would have to fly
around it.
A pilot with no radio whatever
could land at the National Air
port, it was said, provided he tele-
phoned in advance the time of his
arrival and observed the visual
signals from the control tower.
