Sir,
39
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG.
25th. July, 1941.
With reference to previous corespondence
resting with my secret letter No.15 of 6th May, 1941,
regarding attacks on junks near Hong Kong by Japanese
naval vessels, I have the honour to forward for Your
Excellency's consideration a list and summary of
such attacks reported between 1st. April and 30th.
June, 1941.
2.
Your Excellency's attention is particularly
invited to cases reported on pages 7 and 8 of the
11st of attacks in which deaths and casualties were
occasioned by shooting from aeroplanes without even
the doubtful justification that a search for suspect
characters or forbidden cargo might afford.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your Excellency's most obedient servant,
His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador,
TOKYO.
Colonial Secretary
for Governor.
