It is understood that Mr W. R. Peck, of the United States Embassy, has sent a Note to Major-General Miura, who commands the Japanese Gendarmes. emphasising that the United States Marines were making an effort to protect General Nishio, the Japanese Commander in China, when they arrested plain clothes gunmen in the American sector recently.

A Japanese Navy spokesman, referring to anti-American meetings, said the meetings will not occur if each incident is settled in a proper way. He is apparently inviting Mr Peck to apologise.
