No. 1123. (R),

Your telegram No.577, see my telegram No.137 to Hongkong repeated to you as my telegram No. 963.

I am now reminding Japanese Government again about all three vessels. But we must expect no settlement of this question as long as transit of war materials to China is pending.

Repeated to Shanghai telegram No. 484 Hongkong telegram No.200.
