(Two corrupt groups). I have forbidden the use of British

munitions over the Chinese section of the railway and this
has acted as partial and indirect embargo. If authorised
by the Secretary of State I could furnish the Japanese Consul confidentially with certified waybills indicating the volume of
traffic.
