Measures to safeguard British property.
Telegram from Commander-in-Chief (China) to Consul-General, Canton. Read. F.O. no.66. 26ret
Refers to Canton telegram No.32 (1966/1870/10 9.
The area referred to in Tokyo telegram' No.1187 was Swatow to Pakhoi. Considers that it is impracti- cable to inform Japanese of movements of British vessels. The Japanese Consul-General should be told this, and also told that any damage by Japanese forces to British shipping will be their responsibility.
