Commander-in-Chief and Air Attaché see

objection to plan of flying you to Nanking from

you should go to Shanghai first, where

Ambassador hopes to see you.

at Hong Kong and Military Attaché considers

that safe passage by road or if necessary by

naval aircraft from Shanghai to Nanking can

be arranged.
