My telegram No. 430. Local manager of the
Asiatic Petroleum Co informed me this morning
Japanese authorities at Canton have authorised the
Asiatic Petroleum Co,Standard Oil Co, and the
(?)
Texas Oil Company to furnish Diesel Oil to Canton
by barge.
This is further indication of the Japanese
intention to relax restrictions on navigation on the
Pearl River by foreigners although presumably oil is
required for their own purposes.
