Remember the Panay?
Today marks the seventh anniversary of the Pa

True, this Nation has been actually at war with
Japan only three bitter years but the sinking of the
U. S. gunboat Panay seven years ago today was the
real forerunner of Pearl Harbor.
THE Panay. with a main armament of two three

ing refugees up the Yangtse river near Nanking on
this day in 1937. The little gunboat was operating
legally under treaty permission. ,
First the little craft was halted by a Japanese gun
boat and was forced to submit to a boarding party.
An hour later a squadron of Japanese planes bomb
ed and sunk the Panay: several were killed and
wounded, including U. S. naval personnel; some were
machine-gunned while swimming for safety.
THE Japanese were "so sorry" the error occurred;

Perhaps Japan believed America would also con

temper been at Pearl Harbor pitch when our gunboat
and American lives were lost from Japanese bombs
and shells in the Yangtse river back in 1937, the zero
hour of reckoning might have been sooner and the
cost of victory less.
CEVENTY-THREE Japanese admirals, 18 generals,
many thousands of men and ships, and bomb

since the Panay sinking. The final cost will be an em

DENY REQUEST TO
DElAK PROBE OF
Philadelphia, Dee. 18 U.B
The request of a naval officer to
delay proceedings In the inves
tigation of Boy D. Bayly and
Co.. a Los Angeles investment
firm, was today denied, by the
securities and exchange com
mission.- The status of Donald
D. Foss, a partner in the. Bayly
firm, does "not justify a stay of
proceedings brought to protect
the public from an injurious
course of business conducted by
others." the commission said.
Foss asked for a suspenlon of
the proceedings because of his
military status since December
2. 1942.
The investigation of the firm
will determine whether or not
to revoke or suspend the broker-
dealer registration because of al
leged violations of the securities
exchange act.
At this stage of the proceed
ings, the commission said, it does
not atmear that the evidence will
reveal anv transaction on the
part of Foss amounting to a
violation of the act.

SAYING ATLANTIC
CHARTER. 0W1 SAYS
Washington. Dee. 12 U.R)
The Office of War Information
today refuted charges by Sen.
Guy Gillette, D.. Iowa, that OWI
Director Elmer Davis had
banned mention of the Atlantic
Charter on overseas radio pro
grams. .
OWI released records show
ing that the charter has been
mentioned frequently by OWI
propagandists. Davis recalled
that on August 14, the anniver
sary of the charter's signing, sev
eral broadcasts beamed overseas
were devoted entirely to the
document.
OWI officials said that an
overseas broadcast for the Ital
ians only yesterday referred to
the principles of the Atlantic
Charter "which were reaffirmed
at Moscow." A few hours later,
they said, OWI again alluded to
the charter in its new report to
London by quoting an editorial
from the New York World-Telegram
on the Russo-French al
liance. Gold Hill
