The British Ambassador will proceed
In fact,
to Hong Kong tomorrow by the s.s. Empress of Russia. I
shall also accompany him. The report saying that Japan has
attained Britain's understanding as regards the former's
attack on South China, is absolutely unfounded.
Japan did not notify the British Government until after her
attack on Bias Bay. The British Ambassador had received
instructions from London, telling him to proceed to Hankow
and make enquiries about the Chinese Government's view
towards peace and war before any decision is made. I shall
report the rest to you personally.
