of two telegrams which he has received from His Majesty's
Consul-General at Canton regarding the intentions of the
Japanese authorities towards aircraft flying at night over
China.

of Mr. Secretary MacDonald, to inform Mr. Blunt that his
action is approved and that no further steps require to
be taken.
