DAIREN.
27th July 1939.

With reference to Dairen despatch No. 93 of
9th November 1937 transmitting a translation of Kwantung
Bureau Ordinance No. 95 of the 8th October 1937 on the
subject of foreign exchange control, I have the honour
to transmit herewith a translation of Kwantung Bureau
Ordinance No. 74 of 24th July 1939 which further amends
the above-mentioned Ordinance.
2. The amendments, which come into force
on August 1st, are designed to curb transactions in
cheap yen in Shanghai and other places, and are similar
to the regulations already enforced for this purpose
in Japan proper.
7. I am requesting His Majesty's Consul-
General at Shanghai to take any steps he may think fit
to bring the new restrictions to the notice of British
subjects and travel agencies.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your Excellency's most obedient,
humble Servant,
His Excellency
His Majesty's Ambassador,
OKYO.
Cels.
Consul.
