Sir,
Harbin 44
June 2nd 1939.
With reference to my despatch No. 21 of 17th March
I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that in the
Government Gazette dated 30th May, it is announced that the
Japanese Foreign office has, with effect from 10th May,
raised the Japanese consular office at Mutanchiang
(hitherto a branch of the Consulate-General ai Harbin) to
the status of a full consulate.
3. In the press it has also been stated that with the
abolition of the Japanese consulates in South Manchuria,
it has been decided to establish a consulate at Mishan,
and a branch consulate at Hulin, Tungning and Tungchiang,
in order to strengthen the Japanese consular organisation
in regions near the Soviet border.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your Excellency's most obedient,
humble Servant,
(Sgd.) W. J. Davies.
His Excellency,
Sir Archibald Kerr Clark Kerr, K.C.M.G.,
His Majesty's Ambassador,
SHANGHAI.
萎
Consul-General.
