Paraphrase of Telegram from Sir C. Greene (Tokyo)
Dated August 9th, 1913.
No. 80.
I have asked the Japanese Minister for Foreigı Affairs regarding the attitude of his Government towards refugees from China in Japan and His Excellency has replied that they have done their best to persuade the
refugees not to come. He was anxious not to resort to
force while there were no disorders to necessitate such
a course, and the Government were putting moral pressure
on the refugees to induce them to leave Japan.
