But No Quarter Hystorical

New York, Dec. 14. Editorial commont on the Panay incident Is strong and to the point. The Washington Post says the Administration will have undivided, national support, showing that there is a distinct limit to what the United States will accept, and that the bombing of the Panay oversteps it.

The Washington Herald observes: "Our Government has no legal power to evacuate some 10,000 American citizens in China, yet it cannot leave | them entirely in the lurch. Com- mmanding naval officers should insist upon ample warning from the Japan- ese as to the time and place of mill- tary movements, and then to compel all Americans to evacuate the danger zone before the danger strikes."

The Daily News says: "The best thing to do in regard to the Panay is to keep our shirts on."

The New York Herald-Tribune says: that "what this country has a right to demand is that the highest respon- sible officers be recalled, and that full and honest publicity of the out- rage should be given throughout Japan. If it transpires that Tokyo dare not try to do this, there is no further point in having formal diplomatic relations with such Д Government."

The New York Times says: "The only valid guarantee Japan can give In this matter would be withdrawal of her invading army from the soil of China and the liquidation of this im- perialistic adventure."

Scripps-Howard papers insist that such Incidents require calmness and Armness rather tha

than bluster. "Presl dent Roosevelt, we think, is showing

admirable restraint in giving the

Japanese an opportunity of making

amends for the blunder. accordance with established diplomatic pro- cedure."

The San Francisco Chronicle states: "Apologies are not enough. What is needed are stern steps to see that In the future armed forces at the front shall take care."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

AMBULANCE APPEAL

To The Editor,

Hongkong Telegraph.

Sir,May I through the courtesy of your press appeal for pubile support at the dance to be held at St. John Ambulance Headquarters on Friday, Dec. 17 at 8.30 p.m. in aid of Brigade Funds.

Many of the men's divisions are sadly lacking in equipment; hundreds of recruits are waiting to enrol, but lack of finances forbids their admit- tance into the Brigade.

At this time of the year one has nly to walk niong Queen's Rd. East or West, and see

The St. John Ambulance Brigade receives no grant from the Govern- ment, yet its services are in greater demand than ever.

Hon. Secretary.

COMPLAINT

Sir,In the absence of posted public regulations I found myself in strange dilemma the Queen's Pier yesterday.

п

At 4.30 p.m. I, and a relative of mine with his wife, had occasion to wait for some friends at the Pier. We took the unreserved sents together and were reading the Telegraph when an Indian policeman shouted in broken Cantonese "Hey! women in the next beach." I spoke to him in could English to enquire if we three sit together on one or the other bench. He replied in his style of Cantonese I asked him again if he spoke English "men one bench, women another", and received his reply "no sa-bee".

It is surely interesting to find that here in Hongkong husbands and wives in a party must, as in the days of Confucius, sit in separate benches yards apart in such public places as the Queen's Pier and that English is not spoken by the Indian policemen despite its being a British colony.

After all, children can't si. still all day-though I have asked Freddie not to play in that shed. But, I mean, it might happen to any of us-a cut, a little scratch! Tell me. what is one to do?".
