RAM from the Governor of Hong Kong to the
Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Dated 1st December, 1937. Received 5.36 p.m., 30th
November, 1937.
Immediate.
No.300.
I understand that the London evening press may
have published that Japanese naval vessel has fired on
British aeroplane within Hong Kong waters. My present
information indicates that (a) shots were fired by some
such vessel (b) vessel may have been within Hong Kong
territory according to the 1841 Treaty but outside the
three mile limit (c) shots were fired in genuine
misapprehension that attack was impending.
