TRANSLATION OF INTELLIGENCE EXTRACTS No.183. 31-8-39.

The enemy first intended to occupy Hong Kong

after the outbreak of the European War, and to end

the Sino-Japanese War when the countries in Europe

had no spare time to pay heed to the Far East.

It is learnt that the Japanese re-inforcements

on the border of Hong Kong were for attacking Hong

Kong, and the aerodrome built in NAMOA was also for

that purpose, but owing to the sudden change of

the European situation it appears that this plan

has been altered.
