Addressed to Shanghai No. 503 June 20th.
Your telegram No. 528 to Tokyo 3rd paragraph.
With regard to general interference with British shipping please see my telegrams Nos. 518 and 519 to Foreign Office.
Second paragraph. As far as specific case in 2nd
paragraph is concerned, I have not taken this up here (see last paragraph of your telegram No. 436 to Foreign Office). If
0 Jardine Matheson and Company are already negotiating with Monopoly Company, specific protest might upset the negotiations. Before approaching Japanese Government, therefore, I should be grateful for information whether it is your wish and that of the Company that the matter should be taken up specifically here.
Repeated to Foreign Office No. 616 and Consul-General
Shanghai No. 12.
