To the Head, Secret. I saw 300 and authentically learnt
that the British Ambassador will proceed to Chungking at
the end of March, or the beginning of April. Moreover,
his wife will return to England soon, so he will be staying
for over a month in Chungking. The people in general
suspect that Britain will change her attitude towards the
Far East after her recognition of the Franco Government.
In fact such action is not beyond the original policy of
Chamberlain, so it will not affect (China) at all. Again,
he reported in his previous telegram that a copy of an
important document of over 130 pages was received from
Craigie (Sir Robert), and that he would try and photostat
it secretly, and submit it for you to see. If required, he
intends to buy the photostat and enlarging machines, as
already approved, in order to deal with the matter.
Submitted for instructions please.
