| Description | Cartoon shows a Japanese diplomat from the Japanese Foreign Office saying "So sorry, please," handing American Ambassador Joseph Grew a note labeled "Apology." Grew holds a paper reading "Welles' Protest on Tutuila Bombing." On July 30, Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles protested the Japanese bombing of the U.S. gunboat Tutuila in the Yangtze River. The next day Welles announced the incident closed after the Japanese expressed regret and agreed to pay for damages. This was one in a long series of incidents arising from American opposition to Japanese expansion in the Far East, a conflict that eventually led the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor. |
