...Times. In a masterly 4,000-word document, Statesman Stimson tore the Resolution to pieces as a device that would not only dangerously divide U. S. sentiment if there were a war but also would defeat its own purposes by so hobbling U. S. diplomacy that situations like the Panay bombing would be far more likely to lead to war than they are at present, Mr. Stimson's conclusion: "No more effective engine for the disruption of national unity on the threshold of a national crisis could ingeniously have been devised...

The State Department's note presumably closed the incident but made it apparent that a repetition might be much less easy to explain...

...same scale of indemnity Japan would owe the U. S. $5,220 for the three men killed in the sinking of the Panay, but the U. S. settled for an apology, promise of indemnity and guarantee against future attack (see p. 7). No Japanese newspaper printed the text of the apology, and the divine Emperor Hirohito-who did not feel that politeness required him to reply to President Roosevelt's personal protest-opened the Imperial Diet with a Speech from the Throne which omitted mention of the Panay. "We feel greatly gratified to see relations between Japan...
