Dear Johnson,

With reference to your letter of the 2nd October to

Ronald, I am writing to assure you that His Majesty's

Government will not detain or interfere with shipments of

arms from the United States of America to the Liberian

Government, Thailand and the Shanghai International Settlement

municipal police.

This assurance is subject to the same proviso as

mentioned in my letter to you of the 23rd September regarding

shipments of arms and material for the Chinese Government

exported from the United States, namely that the papers of

the ships in which these goods are carried should clearly

indicate the destination of the goods.

Yours sincerely

(sd) Ashley blarke

Mr. Herschel V. Johnson.
