JAPANESE MAKING GRAVE ISSUE OF KINLOCH INCIDENT
Shanghai, To-day.
The Japanese military authorities are making a grave issue out of the Kinloch incident, and according to compe- tent sources has decided to adopt drastic measures to suppress the anti-Japanese attitude of the Settlement authorities which is governed by British influence.” "With this brutal murder, Britain has broken the
pledges given in Tokyo,"
" says an official com- munique on the affair.İ
The Japanese version of the shoot- ing varies, remarkably, from that ab- tainable of the International Settle- ment authorities.
It makes no reference to the fact that Kinloch was shot in the back by a Ta Tao policeman, but declares that "two Chinese police- men were killed and six others wounded by machine-gun
'fire from an armoured car!"

Most of the permits were for pur- chases

DOUGLAS ORDER
The State Department announced that the order for the Douglas plane had been passed on March 1, 1938, before the Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, asked American plane manufacturers on July 1, 1938, to cease sales to nations which bombed civilians. The only sale in contra- vention of Mr. Hull's request was that of the autogyro.
Argentina, Canada and Great Bri- tain also obtained licences last month for purchases of American war mat- erials.
