Your telegram No. 1400.

Expulsion of Undesirables Ordinance.

Your decision noted. I assume that it is unlikely that you will wish to use ordinance for any wholesale expulsion, owing to difficulty of putting undesirables over border. But if such a situation should arise, please inform me and Peking by telegram.
