Weekly situation report number 17.
Below Barrier.
British ships continue to run in Haimen area
in spite of Japanese alleged operations. A gunboat remains
near Japanese ships. There is little trade in Delta for
anybody including Japanese. The situation on the rest of
the river is unchanged with no signs of Japanese offensive
anywhere but many stories of guerilla pressure. Attempts to
stage anti-British demonstrations at treaty ports have
failed to be effective.
