Japanese Consul Sorry

Hongkong, June 6.

The Japanese Consul-General announced today that the British Consul in Canton, Mr. A. P. Blunt, protested through the Hongkong Government against Japanese planes power-diving over British property in Shameen. The protest did not mention any particular raid.

The French and American Consuls were believed contemplating similar protests, "I for one," the Japanese Consul said, "am most sorry that our people flew over Shameen. They will have to be more careful in the future,"—United Press.
