Japanese Deny
Raiding Blame
Reject Protest From A US
Over Destruction of
Transport. Plane .
TOKYO, Aug. 3 l-f-Japan to-
nignt flatly rejected a united
States protest against destruction
of a Chinv e-American airliner by
Japanese warplanes near Canton
.August 24. ' - ' " "
A note handed US Ambassador
Joseph C, Grew denied the inci
dent was of any concern to Ameri
ca, but disclaimed all guilt and
even admitted Japanese planes
continued to machine-gun the lin
er after she landed on a small
river between Canton and Machao
The American protest register
ed Aug. 26, pointed out the air
liner .was owned by a corporation
in which "Pan American Airways
has a very; substantial interest."
' The only American aboardPi
lot II. L. Woodds of Winfield.
Kas., .escaped uninjured, but 14
Chinese passengers or crewmen
were believed to. have been killed
by machine-gun bullets or drown
ing when the plane sank in 40
feet of water. ?
Two Chinese survived the at
tack, which came as the plane was
en route- from Hongkong to
Chungking. "' . ' ' i
The Japanese reply stressed
that the American-piloted airliner
"acted - in ; such a manner as to
invite suspicion" when it dove
into cloud banks ; after sighting
fire Japanese wftrplanes ap
proaching. The Japanese naval planes
forced down the airliner, the note
said, in suspicion that it was . a
Chinese military plane and con
tinued their attack until its iden
tity was established."
