TOKYO, Nov. 20-j!p)-The Jap
anese foreign office charged Pan-
i ama Thursday with an unfriendly
attitude and presented firmly-
worded diplomatic demands for
better treatment of Japanese
nationals there.
Specifically the foreign office
renewed strong protests against
the recent action of the govern
ment of Panama preventing
Japanese residents from con
tinuing In or engaging in busi
ness there.
(Japan's original protest was re
jected November 7 by the Panama
government which termed it

and North and
South Dakota temperatures
ranged from 16 to 25, and the
forecast for the midwest today
was continued cold, with snow
flurries In Minnesota, Wiscon
sin and Michigan.
Forecaster G. L. Canaday of the
Chicago bureau predicted an end
to the mild temperatures enjoyed
in parts of the east, temperature
drops in the east, bringing an
end to the summer-like weather,
Meanwhile southern California
also had mild temperatures for the
holiday. It was 62 in Los Angeles
and 61 in San Diego.
The powerful British air arm
at the same time appeared to be
in command of the main road on
Sir Alan's right flank running
from Salu, on the Egyptian bor
der, to the axis position of Fort
Capuzzo to the west. Axis tank
and transport columns falling
back westward into Libya were
declared undeV heavy running
bombing attack, but British in
formants nevertheless cautioned
against accepting this as proof of
a major retreat
Neither .the British field force,
fleet nor RAF, it appeared, was
trying to drive the Germans and
Italians back so much as to pen
them up and force them to make
a general stand.
On Sir Alan's centerat the
southern end of his 140-mile
front the available Information
Indicated that the British ad
vance was continuing roughly
parallel to Tobruk, the long-besieged
British position on the
Mediterranean coast to the
northwest, and in this maneuver
the British hoped to get behind
Rommel while the right wing
was beating forward along the
difficult terrain in the vicinity
of Fort Capuizo and Halfaya
(Hellfire) pass.
German claims during the day
to have thrown back strong Brit
ish forces west of Sidi Omar on
Sir Alan's left were waved away
in London as of no consequence
oven If true. For, they said, the
British advance In that area had
started from south of that point.
Aside from these claims, and
from jeering that this was not the
second front that the Russians had
wanted because it was not in Eu
rope, Berlin showed a disposition
during the day to deprecate the
Libyan action.
The Italians for their part did
not deny the 50-mile penetra
tion claimed by the British on
the first day of their opera
tions, but insisted that it was
not really an advance but only
forward march to make eon
' tact with the axis forces.
Like the Germans, Mussolini's
high command claimed that cer
tain British forces had been forced
to fall back.
At the same time the Italians
reported that "overwhelming
British forces were assaulting
their last surviving positions of
consequence in Mussolini's now
tattered African empire those in
the Gondar region of Ethiopia.
Before the house of commons in
London, Prime Minister Churchill
made it plain that the British
