Foreign Office pass to Governor Hong Kong as my telegram No. IMMA 109 of 5 October.

My telegrams Nos. IMMA 103 and 106.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry say the Japanese have authorised entry and have enquired daily about Hong Kong transit visas for the past few days and repeated this enquiry in interview today. They say the troupe must reach Japan by 8 October, which means leaving Peking early on 6 October. Grateful for news.
