...ever since by the House Judiciary Committee which had by last week almost forgotten its existence. Of the 218 signatures he needed to get the measure to the floor, Representative Ludlow has had 200 or so for several months. Mr. Ludlow found, in the congressional reaction to the Panay sinking, a chance to get the dozen or sa additional signatures he needed and the bill was scheduled for six hours of debate on January...
...there was one thing calculated to console Japan and add confusion to the pandemonium about the Panay in the U. S.

The Nichi Nichi raised a fund...
Disgraced Admiral Mitsunami, incidentally, is typical of the Japajingo officers who made the Panay incident possible. Youngest of Japan's rear admirals, he received his appointment only on December 1, and until the beginning of the war had never served outside Japanese waters. An aviator since 1923, he has been flying instructor for many years, served as commander of the 26,900-ton aircraft carrier Kaga, from 1934 to 1936. The efficacy of air bombardment is part of his religion...
