I have just received following letter from
Commissioner for Foreign Affairs.
Begins:-
With regard to case of S.S. Tean I hasten to
inform you that Marshal Li has sent urgent telegram
to the division stationed there to despatch troops
to the spot and at the same time Admiral Chang Chat
has been instructed to send gun-boat with soldiers
to Bies Bay.
Ends.
We have had this sort of assurance so often
before that I am not much impressed with it.
