Pangborn and Herndon Victims of Jap Jingoism • * * * * * * Innocent Landing With Camera.

Farley Mrs. Hugh Herwdon, Jr.. When Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon, Jr., American fliers, were first arrested on landing in Japan without a permit, no uneasiness was felt for them But when the "Jingoes,” who are rabidly anti-American, stressed the fact that the fliers flew over fortified areas and used a camera while so doing, the Japanese Secret Service started to build a mighty mountain out of a mole hill. The fliers were charged with making photographs in a prohibited area, as well as with violation of the country's aviation laws. They were each fined $1,025, and it is doubtful if they will be allowed to fly their plane, in which they had hoped to make a non-stop fl.glit from Tokyo to Seattle, out of Japan.

Tokio. Japan.—The arrest and ! < subtle persecution of the American! ’round-the-ovorld fliers. Clyde Pang-, 1 liorn and Hugh Herndon. Jr. by, J Japanese authorities on suspicion! of espionage is a perfect example | of the little boy who was present-1 I ed with an air gun but had nothing I ; to shoot at. | Japan has an air gun in its very I efficient secret service, but since | [ the conclusion of the World War | targets have been very scarce.! | Thus we can imagine with what j glee the faux pas of Pangborn and I j Herndon was welcomed by the yel-! i low empire. | The Ijind of the Lotus is very 1 proud of its espionage system I Trained in the methods of Ger-1 many’s famed WiTielmstrasse. administered and nurtured by the i t-vo most reactionary divisions of I the Imperial government, the Home I Office and War Ministry, it has | experienced only one drawl'ack, lack of objectives worthy of its undoubted efficiency. ' In these days when the dove of peace is fluttering its wings all over the world, there isn't much work for the spy-hunting fraternity; so when the American fliers ! not only landed In Japan without a ! permit hut were also found to lie in possession of a camera, the alli seeing eyes and the all-hearing | ears of the ‘“silent government” i immediately sprang to attention. At first, the arrest of the fliers I caused no uneasiness as it was | thought that in this era of good will flights such a minor point as I that of landing without a permit ; would easily be ironed out. But i when the "Jingoes." who are violently anti-American, bared their I ' teeth and started the hurricane in j ! a tea cup. things didn't look quite! I so harmless as observers at first I j supposed. From a mere technical breach : I of the laws of the country, the ac-1 i lion of the American aviators as- ' | sumed the proportions of a foul! plot, upon the liberty of Japan. un< ‘ der the subtle innuendoes of the j jingo ress Instead of being allowed to make 1 their apologies and go their way, , Herndon and Pangborn were placI I

ed under the strictest surveillance. The fact that Herndon is an ex-U. S. Army officer, it was pointed out, made his offense of flying over fortified areas all the more repreensible—especially as he had taken various picures of the flight. The pair were indicted on [ charges of illegally taking photographs of areas tabAo to the for eigner. and the case was sent to the District Court for trial. The fine for the offence was $1,025 for i each of the fliers, but that's not the ' worst of their punishment. If the Court decides tliat the aviators I willfully viola: d Japan's aviation’s I laws, they will be prohfliited from | flying over Japanese territory , again. This order, if enforced, means ! that Herndon ami Pangborn will be prevented from making their proposed non-stop flight from Tokio to Seattle, for which they abandoned their round the wodhl attempt at Khabarovsk Siberia. Not only that, they will have to crate their plane and ship it out of Japan. seeing they tan't fly it out. Moan-while, in the United States, W. W. Facley, former New York State Democratic Chairman, sought the aid of the United States Department of State on behalf of Herndon, who is his son-in-law. Herndon married Farley's daughter secretly just tiefore he took off on the world flight. To sum up, it looks as though the popular vogue of “good will" flights has been given its quietus by the action of Japan in this case. Good will is powerful medicine, but it cannot combat suspicion.
