The Settlement, by convention between foreign powers, had en- joyed a •'qualified neutral condi- tion" for . defeive purposes. The plan of defense of the Settlement wad drawn up several months prior , to the Sino-Japanese trouble, and did not contemplate that its opera- tion would be concurrent with a virtual state of war between China and Japan. While the British, American and Italian commanders were puttihg their alloted sectors into the neces- sary state of defense, the Japanese plans were being laid on other lines.

Operations in the Settlement for the defense of the lives and prop- erty of nationals are 'one thing. Operations for the infliction of punishment or for the purpose of instituting reprisals against a third party outside the Settlement are quite another. All opposition to the Japanese violation of Settlement neutrality never went beyond the stage of friendly remonstrance. It seemed quite clear that Japan was not go- ing to heed any requests. -4 ./ .ilw VUL U dA,U ... ./, Gates. Music was provided ·by a quar· tette frorn the Congregational church.
