Confidential.
In the course of conversation at lunch yesterday Chinese
Ambassador told me in confidence it is a fact that China is
receiving from Russia a certain number of aeroplanes which are
being flown there over Sinkiang and which have been sold to
China on credit. I gathered that some munitions and other
armaments were also being imported from Soviet Union by sea
from Odessa and viâ Indo-China but that apart from this no form
of military assistance was being received from this country.
Addressed to Foreign Office No. 191 November 1st; repeated
to Nanking and Tokyo.
