sir,
BRITISH EMBASSY,
SHANGHAI,
5th May 1938.
156
I have received your despatch No. 55 of the
6th April regarding the threatened destruction of
the Canton-Kowloon Railway.
2.
Should Mr. Philip Tyrau press you for
reply to his letter of the 1st April you should inform
him that I am not prepared to pass on to His Majesty's
Goverment in the United Kingdom his suggestion that
they should approach the Japanese Goverment with a
view to preventing further destruction or occupation
of the line.
3.
Similarly, I do not propose to take any
action in regard to the suggestion made in the last
paragraph of your despatch and should prefer that the
matter was not pursued further.
I am,
sir,
Your most obedient,
humble Servant,
(signed)
ARCHIBALD CLARK KERR.
A.P. Blunt, Esquire, C.M.G..
His Majesty's Consul-General,
