My telegram No.194.
Following message has been delivered to me through
Japanese Consul-General.
Begins: General Homma asks that a definite reply
one way or the other be given to him by noon on June 7th
as to whether or not four men accused of Cheng's
assassination and murder of 3 Japanese soldiers will be
handed over unconditionally to district court. The
General states that in the absence of any reply he will
assume that British Authorities refuse to hand men over. Ends.
