Big day, the Hess story would go on for years.
A lot is going to happen in the next few months, still very little reporting on Japan’s deeds.
Thanks for all your work Homer!
In a sense you are right. As we see from today's replies the story still generates interest. But I found in preparing the daily posts that the Hess story faded fast after getting a delayed start. (Remember that Hess flew the coop on the 10th - three days ago.) I guess since there was no dramatic fallout it dropped off the radar. Or rather it was pushed off by other major events during the following weeks. My whimsical estimate was that the Hess story had a half-life of 18 hours.
still very little reporting on Japans deeds.
The war in China only makes it into the paper in short, two or three paragraph items now and then. U.S.-Japan tension is to be found in historical excerpts for the most part. But Otto D. Tolischus is digging hard over in Tokyo. He may come up with something before long.
