VIGOROUS PROTEST

Washington, Dec. 13.. Mr. Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, has prepared vigorous re- présentations to be presented to ́Japan regarding the sinking of the US.S. Panay in the Yangtse on Sunday. Mr. Hull held conference with a group of Far eastern ad- visers before drafting his protest. There is no indication at present whether the representations will include demands for Indemnity covering the cost of the Pangy and suitable compensation for the casualties involved.

Before despatching his note Mr. Hull is expected to confer with President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

It was stated at the White House to-day that the Government's policy with reference to the sink- ing of the Panay would be decided on a national, patriotic basis, with

ap-

The extreme gravity with which the United States Government re- gards the Yangtse scuttlings, not- withstanding the profuse apologies already tendered by every propriate Japanese authority, can be gauged by the following points which were made to Reuter by a competent authority this evening. 1. This is the first occasion & United States warship has been sunk in peace time by a so-called friendly Power since the sinking of the battleship Maine, which precipitated the Spanish-American

War.

3. The United States Govern- ment is amazed at Mr. Salto's frank admission that the Japanese knew where the American vessels were located and that hence, in the "Ambassador's own words "the bombing was a very grave blun- der."
