Your telegram No. 334.
Before taking up these cases I should be grateful to learn
your views on pouts raised in my telegrams Nos. 498 and 499.
Present position as we see it here is that until these
points have been cleared up no agreement can be said to exist
between the Japanese Government and ourselves on the right of visit for the purpose of verifying nationality of the vessels
flying the British flag. Until such agreement is reached
system of reporting etc. is not in force.
I can of course make representations on general grounds
but these are unlikely to be effective in the absence of
definite agreement.
12th;
Addressed to Foreign Office telegram No. 519 October
repeated to Nanking and Commander-in-Chief.
