No. 248.
Sir John Simon's despatch No. 199.
Further note has been received from State Department
expressing doubt whether relevant regulations of
Czechoslovakian Government can be considered "wholly
satisfactory", as suggested in second paragraph of that
despatch.
They learn that shipment comprising four hundred
machine guns and two million rounds of ammunition calibre
7.92 from Brno Czechoslovakia is due to arrive in
Hongkong on October 5th consigned to first group army,
Canton. Shipment will be covered by through bills of
lading to Canton; and Cantonese Huchau cover of shipment
is already in the hands of Hongkong police authorities.
They presume that this shipment cannot be covered by
Huchau from Chinese Central Government.
