Mr. Ingram on my instructions delivered verbal mes- sage in terms of paragraph 2 of your telegram No. 174
I had intended instruct- Tour to Hsu Mo on December 28th. ing Mr. Ingram to repeat warning to new Minister for Foreign Affairs as soon as he assumed office. But in view of issue since of fresh mandate on December 29th postpon- ing that of May 4th (see my telegram No. 761) I shall now If necessity arises leave it at that for the time being. or question is raised again by us or by Chinese warning can be repeated and in order that new Minister for Foreign Affairs may have official cognizance of it I am giving Mr. Ingram discretion to refer to it casually should he have opportunity of alluding as a wise step to issue of mandate
of December 29th.
Addressed to Foreign Office No. 763; repeated to Mission, Commander-in-Chief,
