IMPORTANT.
(34)
My telegram No, 198.
United Press and Trans-Oceanic reports issued from London on June 2nd and June 3rd respectively, were widely publicised here and Shanghai (and presumably als: elsewhere) yesterday to the effect that British Government had decided that all alleged terrorists held by British authorities at Tientsin were to be extradited to de facto local authorities and that you had instructed me to take rigorous measures to uproot anti-Japanese terrorism
in British concession.
2. I immediately contacted my Japanese colleague and told him I was still without instructions, but that these reports, if true, indicate that instructions were doubtless on the way. Japanese authorities have of course accepted these press statements as statements of fact and believe everything has been settled to
their satisfaction,
3. You will no doubt realize embarrassing position in which
I am placed and I earnestly hope that final and definite instructions will be sent to reach me not later than morning
June 6th.
Addresseá Foreign Office No. 202 June 4: repeated Shanghai
No. 274 and Tokyo No. 120.
