To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuma Dany News"
Sm,—Six years ago im describing the "Manchurian Incident" when Secretary Mr. Stimson uttered the word "amok" a redress was immediately demanded and given. How about this: all ambassadors of various nationalities with their battleships and all are being ordered hither and thither on pains of death and destruction in total disregard of their national prestige by merely a Japanese naval officer in a third country.
Such an affront should not be tolerated at present or in future in any disguise—whether it is termed as equal opportunity" for all or "foreign rights" to be respected, in order to discourage future war in disguise of incident in the world.
Japan's military prowess is taken as omnipotent after scaring neutral ships away by the blockade and the ejection of neutrals in the form of evacuation. More trespasses are in store. A bogus government once created sponsored by Japan may legally demand anything from censorship to rendition of settlements. After the forced evacuation of all ambassadors, what next? is the question of the moment. Japan is now reaping all the advantage of a war without incurring the disadvantage of a declared one as the American Neutra. lity Att and the illegal blockade bear testimony.
Whether the diplomats at Nanking will give grounds remains to be seen.
