Addressed to Nanking telegram No. 60.
In view of enquiries received here it is opinion of
Commander-in-Chief, Brigadier and myself that while there
is no objection to British men with employment returning
to shanghai it is premature to consider any return of women
and children and I hope that cooperation of British shipping companies at ports concerned will be enlisted to this end.
