notes to be sent to the United States and British governments on the attacks on th“ United States gunboat Panay and the British gunboat Ladybird. Issuance of the orders was regarded here as noteworthy in view of previous assurances that care would be taken to guard against attacks on foreign Interests. The foreign office, it was learned today, has begun drafting a reply to American notes. Lieut. Col. Yoshiaki Nishi, special war office investigator and former military attache at Washington. visited the American embassy tonight to discuss the Panay attack. Nishi flew to Shanghai two days after the Panay attack and returned here only last night. Receiving foreign correspondents tonight, Nishi told them the results of his investigation, which tended to show the navy as entirely to blame ami to paint the soldiers involved as saviors. His statement was similar to those he and other army men made at Shanghai. It was believed his report would play an important part in the government’s note to the United States. Nishi said that the Panay attack involved an isolated Japanese army unit which itself suffered losses while aiding distressed American survivors.
