Cypher telegram to Sir J.Jordan (Peking).
Foreign Office, July 11th, 1916. 6.0 p.m.
No.126.
395
In view of information in last paragraph of your cypher telegram of July 9th No.211, the despatch of British troops to Canton would involve the risk of creating a dangerous military and political situation and under present circumstances I cannot authorise any move which might present the appearance of inter- vention by British.
