        "content_text": "General Webson\n\nR. DIXON.\n\n19/01/20\n\nThis matter was further discussed at the Twelfth Meeting of the Imperial Communications Committee on the 10th December, 1919. The Committee were then informed that the Admiralty intended in the near future to improve the naval wireless stations at Stonecutters (Hong Kong), Seletar (Straits Settlements), Matara (Ceylon) and Aden in order to allow of more regular communication. At the same time the Admiralty said that to provide for inter-communication at any part of the 24 hours would practically mean the rebuilding of the existing stations at a cost of £60,000 each. In these circumstances it was decided that no improvement additional to the minor ones proposed by the Admiralty should be effected in the naval stations pending the report of the Imperial Wireless Telegraphy Committee. The proposal forwarded by the Officer Administering the Government of Hong Kong for the erection of a high power station in the Colony is also closely connected with the general question, and cannot, I think, be dealt with until the report of Sir Henry Norman's Committee is ready, which I hope will be the case very shortly now. In any case, I do not think there would be any harm in replying to the Governor's letter in 38049 pointing out that the question is still in abeyance awaiting the report of the Imperial Wireless Telegraphy Committee which has been appointed to make proposals for a general wireless scheme throughout the British Empire.\n\n21. 5. 20.\n\n22/5/20\n\nMr. Dixon\n\n22/6\n\nMR\n\n487\n\nWe have the effort of the new wireless station at Hong Kong to communicate with one at Calcutta. A station might be able to communicate with Calcutta, but without a similar station there, and at other places along the route, communication would be difficult. Hong Kong's desire for a direct link is understandable, but it is not feasible at present.\n\n17/7/20\n\nThe Report of the Imperial Wireless Telegraphy Committee contemplates the erection of a new station at Hong Kong as part of the Imperial Scheme, and you will see from paragraph 38 of the Report that it is proposed that the cost of this and other stations such as that at Cairo, Singapore and Nairobi should be borne by the Imperial Government. I do not know what view the Treasury takes as regards the Report, but Lord Milner is bringing it before the Cabinet at an early date and is going to recommend its adoption. In the meanwhile and until their decision as regards the recommendations of the Committee are known, I do not think there is any use in replying to the letter in 38049/19, unless we send to the Governor a copy of the Report of the Imperial Wireless Telegraphy Committee, merely pointing out that it has not yet been considered in detail by H.M. Government.",

The memorialists comprise workmen from the following departments:—\n\nCeylon Government Railway-All classes of daily paid labour who did not receive the 20 per cent. increase.\n\nChief Construction Engineer's Department.-Workmen employed in Station Extensions Workshops, Colombo.\n\nHarbour Engineer's Department.--All daily paid employees who have not received the 20 per cent. increase.\n\nMaster Attendant's Department.-Daily paid boatmen.\n\nGovernment Factory-All daily paid employees who have not received the 20 per cent. increase.\n\nOther Public Works Department Employees.-Daily paid clerks, peons, and messengers in the Public Works Department Head Office.\n\nLake Development Scheme.-Daily paid employees.\n\nPostmaster-General's Department.-Daily paid workmen in the Telegraph Workshops. Survey Department.-Daily paid workmen in the Lithograph Department, Head Office.\n\nREPORT OF LABOUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE.\n\n5\n\n4. The memorials received and the grievances stated cover very much the same ground as those dealt with in the former report of the Labour Advisory Committee, Sessional Paper XXXV.—1925, on which a 20 per cent, increase was granted to workmen in the Railway Workshops, Government Factory, and the Harbour Engineer's Department classified as working under Factory Conditions. The grounds on which the increase was given, however, were based on the maximum rise in the cost of living. This was stated by the Director of Statistics to be about 70 per cent., and this figure was accepted by the Railway workmen (vide paragraph 3 of Sessional Paper XXXV.-1925).\n\nThere was no special reference to any increase due to Factory Conditions, and the distinction as regards Factory Conditions in this case appears to be entirely artificial. The cost of living has risen as much for the ordinary worker as for the Factory worker. It seems therefore impossible to ignore the demands for a reasonable increase in pay on behalf of the memorialists whose claims we have now investigated.\n\nThere is this distinction, however, to be drawn. The 70 per cent. increase in the cost of living since 1914 included the rise in house rent. This rise in rent accounts for about 15 per cent. in the total cost of living, and without including house rent the maximum rise in the cost of living would be about 55 per cent.\n\nNone of the employees who were granted the 20 per cent. increase at the end of last year were provided with quarters, so that there was no occasion to separate the factor for rent from the general rise in the cost of living.\n\nIn 1920 an all-round increase of wages by 40 per cent. was made by Government, and the addition of a further 20 per cent. to the rates obtaining after 1920 raised the wages to, roughly, 70 per cent. above the 1914 average.\n\nIn the present inquiry, however, we are confronted by the fact that a certain proportion of the employees with whom we are now dealing, especially in the Way and Works Department of the Ceylon Government Railway, are provided with free quarters. The daily paid employees who are not provided with quarters receive no house allowance. It is therefore clear that those who receive free quarters have not had to face any increase in rent, and that the rise in their cost of living is only about 55 per cent, as compared with 70 per cent. for those who provide their own quarters. It would therefore seem only fair that a distinction should be made between these two classes. We have borne this distinction in mind in making our recommendation as regards increases to the daily paid workmen in the various Departments.\n\n5. To deal with our recommendations departmentally :-\n\nHarbour Engineer's Department.\n\nNone of the employees of the Harbour Engineer's Department appear to receive free quarters. Most of the employees of the Department were given 20 per cent. increases in their wages under the recommendation of Sessional Paper XXXV.-1925. We recommend that all daily paid employees in the Department be put on a similar footing and that all the recommendations approved by Government in Sessional Paper XXXV.-1925 be extended to them.\n\n6. Special representations were made during the course of the inquiry by the daily paid clerks, telephone clerks, and apothecary with reference to their status as daily paid labourers.\n\n7. Apothecary. We consider that an apothecary can scarcely be classed as a daily paid labourer, and would recommend that he be placed on approximately the same footing as apothecaries of similar service and qualifications in the Government Medical Department. In the meantime, he should be given the 20 per cent. increase.\n\n8. Daily Paid Clerical Staff. It was brought to our notice during the inquiry that all the Departments employing daily paid labour include under this head a considerable number of daily paid clerical hands, &c. The hands usually start on routine work, such as store checkers, telephone operators, &c., but many of them rise in the course of time to more responsible posts and perform full clerical duties. We consider that some departmental scheme should be framed by which daily paid clerks after a few years' service should have the opportunity of being taken on, on the fixed clerical establishment of the Department. In the meantime, they should receive the 20 per cent. increase.\n\nMaster Attendant's Boatmen.\n\n9. The daily paid boatmen petition for the 20 per cent. increase as given to the Harbour Engineer's employees. The Master Attendant points out that the hours these men work are very different from those in the Harbour Engineer's Department. They go on duty at the Pilot Station on 24 hours shifts, viz., 24 hours on and 24 hours off, and there is always one shift on duty on Sundays and Government holidays. It is not possible, therefore, to give them all leave with pay on the five Government holidays in the year.\n\nPreviously their pay was slightly better than that of boatmen in the Harbour Engineer's Department. Their conditions of work, however, are more onerous, and now that the boatmen in the Harbour Engineer's Department have received the 20 per cent. increase, they are at a disadvantage.\n\nWe recommend that they be given 20 per cent. increase, that the Sunday shifts should be paid at the overtime rate of 1¼ and that these men who have to work on the five Government holidays mentioned in Section 12 of Sessional Paper XXXV.-1925 should receive either a day's leave with pay in lieu thereof or, if this is not possible, they should be paid double pay for these five days.\n\n10. The Master Attendant pointed out that there are a considerable number of Serangs and Lascars in his Department who are on the fixed establishment, and if a 20 per cent. increase is given to the daily paid boatmen, the boatmen on the fixed establishment may in some cases receive less than the daily paid boatmen. If this is so, we recommend that the conditions of pay for the boatmen on the Master Attendant's fixed establishment should be re-adjusted.\n\n70",

WIRELESS SERVICES IN HONG KONG AND MALAYA\n\n**(I.C.C. 1501 and 1511.)**\n\nTHE COMMITTEE had under consideration copy of a letter from the Colonial Office to Imperial and International Communications, Limited, indicating the decision reached by the Committee that, subject to certain reservations, Hong Kong and Malaya should be allowed to develop their own services (I.C.C.1501); also telegrams from the Governors of the Straits Settlements and Hong Kong asking permission to institute certain developments (I.C.C.1511).\n\nMR. VERNON said it would be remembered that this question had formed the subject of important and protracted discussions at which the Secretary of State had presided, when it was finally agreed to allow Hong Kong and Malaya to drop the idea of transferring their services to the Communications Company owing to the fact that the proposed high power station at Hong Kong and Singapore had been temporarily abandoned. The Colonies were, therefore, given permission to develop their own services within certain limitations. The Company had been informed but had raised no objections. The Governors of both Hong Kong and Malaya had now telegraphed asking permission to make certain developments, and in view of the interest of other Departments the Colonial Office had referred the matter once more to the Committee. The Colonial Office would like to see these applications approved. The Governor of the Straits Settlements asked to develop a wireless telephone service between Java and Malaya, while the Governor of Hong Kong desired to institute a wireless telephone service with Shanghai and Manila.\n\nPage 6 \n`14034/33 Erstern` \nPage 16",

        "content_text": "## CONCLUSION\n\nMR. PHILLIPS said that from the Post Office point of view there was no objection to the development of a wireless telephone service between Java and Malaya, but he thought that the Governor of Malaya ought to be warned that this development might entail substantial expense and it was advisable that exhaustive tests were carried out before this development was embarked upon. He observed that it was intended to instal a service to subscribers which was considerably more difficult than a service to a call box.\n\nAs regards the application from the Governor of Hong Kong, he was only asking for authority to open negotiations. He suggested that this should be approved, but that the Governor be asked to report, when negotiations were entered into, as to the expense which would be involved and the rates which would be charged, in order that the matter might be further considered.\n\nMR. VERNON agreed that it would be wise to warn the Governor of Malaya that the development of a wireless telephone service between Java and Malaya might prove a very expensive undertaking.\n\n**CONCLUSION**\n\nIt was agreed:\n| Item | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | to recommend that the Colonial Office approve the application received from the Governor of the Straits Settlements to develop a wireless telephone service between Java and Malaya; |\n| (b) | that the Governor of the Straits Settlements should be warned of the substantial expense which may be involved in the development of this service; |\n| (c) | to authorise the Governor of Hong Kong to open negotiations for the establishment of a wireless telephone service from Hong Kong with Shanghai and Manila; |\n| (d) | to ask the Governor of Hong Kong to communicate details of expenditure and rates for further consideration by the Committee. |\n\nPage 7 \nPage 17",

They consider, however, that the setbacks suffered by the Red Army in Finland together with fear of internal trouble and of inevitable British reactions are likely to deter the Russians from embarking on any adventures.\n\n(b) There has been no change in our policy towards China which is based on our treaties and the League Resolutions. At the same time we must seek to remove causes of friction between ourselves and Japan without injury to China, and in this we shall try to keep in step with the United States.\n\n(c) It is difficult to answer hypothetical questions.

As Dr. Kung is aware, tentative discussions are in progress with P. Y. Kuo for an agreement by which we should exchange finished goods in return for raw materials hitherto furnished to Germany by China under her barter arrangements and other commodities which we ourselves require. Further telegram follows on this point.\n\n3. We have no intention of interfering with shipping facilities at Rangoon except possibly in respect of German goods shipped after the 4th December, when each application will be considered sympathetically on its merits by the Enemy Exports Committee.\n\n4. No munitions can be supplied from this country. As regards supplies from India (see my telegram No. 1114 [of the 13th November]), Government of India's offer appears to have been intended to cover supply of commodities, but not of munitions and lethal weapons.\n\n5. His Majesty's Government are not prepared to permit the construction of a factory in Burma for assembling aircraft for China. It also appears somewhat superfluous now that Inter-Continent Corporation have set up an assembly plant at Loiwing.\n\n6. With regard to financial assistance no such statement as that mentioned in the last paragraph of your telegram No. 101 Tour Series has recently been made to the Chinese Ambassador, though he has been told that our policy is to keep closely in line with the United States Government and to do nothing that is likely to embarrass them. Our good will is, however, exemplified by the extension of the period within which orders can be placed under the Export Credits Agreement.",

Kuo has made tentative enquiries of Dr. Kung as to whether any of the commodities hitherto supplied to Germany under the Sino-German Barter Agreement could now be made available for sale to His Majesty's Government. Our idea at present would be to take any of these commodities which we need or which we wish to prevent reaching Germany or the U.S.S.R. and to let China have in return on a barter basis the wireless and telephone material. If a barter deal is impossible we would probably supply wireless and telephone equipment out of the Credit Agreement, but this should not be mentioned to Chiang Kai-shek.\n\n2. For your own confidential information the goods which we require from China would be silk waste and tung oil. We have adequate supplies of wolfram and tungsten, but the French require some 5,000 tons from China. We do not at present require silk or tin. Bristles are in short supply here but the lack of them is not of great consequence.\n\n3.\n\nI suggest that you should ask Chiang Kai-shek without committing us to any definite undertaking what amounts of tungsten are now available, particularly those formerly sent to Germany under the barter agreement and also whether China is able to supply silk waste.",

At the instance of the Export Credits Guarantee Department, therefore, P. Kuo has made tentative enquiries of Dr. Kung as to whether any of the commodities hitherto supplied to Germany under the Sino-German Barter Agreement could now be made available for sale to His Majesty's Government. Our idea at present would be to take any of these commodities which we need or which we wish to prevent reaching Germany or the U.S.S.R. and to let China have in return on a barter basis the wireless and telephone material. If a barter deal is impossible we would probably supply wireless and telephone equipment out of the Credit Agreement, but this should not be mentioned to Chiang Kai-shek.\n\n2. For your own confidential information the goods which we require from China would be silk waste and tung oil. We have adequate supplies of wolfram and tungsten, but the French require some 5,000 tons from China. We do not at present require silk or tin.\n\nBristles are in short supply here but the lack of them is not of great consequence.\n\nI suggest that you should ask Chiang Kai-shek without committing us to any definite undertaking what amounts of tungsten are now available, particularly those formerly sent to Germany under the barter agreement and also whether China is able to supply silk waste.....\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

You should moreover not give any definite promise that the telephone and wireless equipment will be readily available as their delivery would represent a definite concession on our part.\n\n4. As regards the general position of the availability of the goods asked for by China under the Export Credits Agreement, I think that you should say that to their regret His Majesty's Government can hold out no hope of supplying machine tools, special steel or railway material for some considerable time. Possibly these might be obtained in the United States of America? His Majesty's Government have however by no means lost interest in the Credits Agreement and for this reason they have recently extended its term by six months. In that time it is hoped that there may become available some material required for the Yunnan paper mill and woollen textile machinery, if order is placed quickly. It is also hoped that small quantities of miscellaneous steel may be available at a later date but this is very uncertain. You might ask for further information regarding the former two items and enquire whether there are any other items not mentioned in the Chinese lists concerning the availability of which the Chinese Government might like me to make enquiries.\n\nRepeated to Tokyo No. 889, Hongkong Unnumbered and Chungking No. 188.\n\nNot to Spore",

My Lord Marquess,\n\nForeign Office, November 27, 1939.\n\nTHE United States Ambassador called to see me this afternoon. Mr. Kennedy began by speaking about the financial difficulties that His Majesty's Government might expect to encounter as the war proceeded, and said that he was anxious during his time in the United States to give any help in this respect that might be in his power. He said he felt very strongly, and had been impressing his view upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that we might be acting unwisely in attempting to impose too complete a prohibition upon imports from the United States if the result of this was likely to show itself in alienation of sympathy in the United States business world that would be very necessary to us at a later stage.\n\n2. I took advantage of the Ambassador's visit to put to him as clearly as I could the considerations that we sought to have in mind in the pursuit of our policy in the Far East. I said that, in present circumstances, it was not possible, in my view, for this country to pursue a policy as logical and clear-cut as in other circumstances we might perhaps choose. We had constantly made it plain that we had no intention of deserting the general principles that had governed our policy vis-à-vis the Chinese Government, and we certainly had no intention of getting ourselves out of step with the United States Government, in regard either to general policy or to its particular application in spheres where the United States Government was itself directly interested. On the other hand, it was very important for us, if we could manage it within these limits, to avoid any worsening of our relations with Japan and, indeed, if this might prove possible, to try and improve them. It might perhaps not be possible to establish our relations with Japan on a basis of assured friendship; time alone would show. But even if we could secure some temporary improvement without the sacrifice of principle, it would, as things stood to-day, be well worth doing. We had found, since representatives of the Dominions had been with us, that, as we had always anticipated, the principal preoccupation of Australia and New Zealand in taking their decision to send troops to Europe was to appraise the prospect of trouble with Japan.\n\n3. For this reason we had done our best to reach a settlement of the immediate issues that had arisen during last summer at Tientsin. We had succeeded in getting some way with these, but had then reached a point where progress was suspended on the two main issues of currency and silver. This suspension of progress had been, as he would recognise, due to the fact that we had been unwilling to give away causes in which the Chinese Government and, from a different point of view, the United States Government were directly interested. We had latterly, for quite other reasons, reduced our garrison at Tientsin, and this had apparently been taken in Japan as a gesture of friendliness. I was accordingly anxious, if there was anything to be done within the limitations I had mentioned above, not to let the opportunity slip.\n\n4. There now seemed a possibility—how substantial I was not yet in a position to say—of resuming these conversations with some better chance of result. There was reason to hope that the Japanese Government were less anxious than they had been to press the question of currency, and on the silver issue it might not be impossible to secure some compromise settlement by way of sealing most of the silver in a neutral bank and using some portion of it for flood relief. On humanitarian grounds there was ample justification for such a proposal; and if in fact it proved to be possible to reach a settlement on anything like these lines, I should certainly wish not to let the occasion pass. I hoped, therefore, that he would explain to the President exactly what were the considerations.\n\n[758 dd-1]",

We felt that, if the event showed a more reasonable attitude on the part of the Japanese Government, this would be largely due to the firm policy pursued by the United States, from which we should in some degree enjoy advantage and of which certainly we should not wish to do anything to diminish the effect. I thought at the present time it was probably true to say that there was a conflict in progress in Japan between the elements advocating rapprochement with Germany and Russia, and elements more friendly to the United States and ourselves, who would be in favour of a rapprochement with our two countries. It seemed to me in the highest degree desirable that we should so play our hand as not to give unnecessary discouragement to our potential friends to the advantage of ill-wishers.\n\n5. The Ambassador said that he quite appreciated the force of what I had said to him and would certainly speak to the President on the lines I had suggested. It would, he thought, be helpful if we could keep the President fully informed, and this I told him we should naturally in any case be doing. I am, &c.\n\nHALIFAX.",

Craigie (Tokyo).\n\n(No. 780.) Sir,\n\nForeign Office, October 20, 1939. THE Japanese Ambassador called to see me to-day to have, as he described it, a talk on the general situation.\n\n2. The Ambassador began by asking for enlightenment on the Russo-Turkish negotiations. He thought that we had been very successful in our policy with Turkey, and, in response to his request, I described to him the general effect of the treaty which we had just signed with Turkey, with particular reference to the obligations which it involved, both on our part and on the part of the Turks, in the event of war between ourselves and Russia, as well as in the event of war breaking out in the Mediterranean.\n\n3. The Ambassador enquired whether it was true that the Russians had wished to station troops at key points. I replied that this was not true, but that they had put forward demands which cut across our treaty with the Turks. I thought that the general effect of the treaty had been very good. Two months ago it would have made Italy suspicious, but our relations with that country had improved and were now very good. I thought that the treaty would have useful effects both in the Middle East and in the United States.\n\n4. In reply to an enquiry from the Ambassador, I said that we had not much news regarding the Finnish-Soviet negotiations, but I did not think that Russia was making extravagant demands on Finland. I did not know for certain, but I hoped that we should soon have more definite information, and that we should not have trouble there.\n\n5. I asked Mr. Shigemitsu whether he had heard a recent rumour to the effect that a Soviet military mission had arrived in Chungking with a view to concluding a Sino-Soviet Military Alliance. In reply, the Ambassador stated that this rumour came from Shanghai via Tokyo. Shanghai was a fruitful source of rumours, and he had no exact information on this point, but he was following the matter very closely. He thought that the Left Wing of the Kuomintang at Chungking might be thinking along these lines, but he did not consider that the Government at Chungking were prepared to go as far. He added that in a recent Chinese air raid on Hankow the Japanese had brought down two Soviet machines. He said it was very difficult to follow the exact purpose of Russian policy in the Far East.\n\n6. I then asked his Excellency what he thought of the recent trouble in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Tokyo. The Ambassador stated that, even since the occupation of Manchuria, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs had been fighting to maintain its influence against the extremists. The present trouble was symptomatic of this struggle. He thought that the views of the Ministry had prevailed and that their influence would be pro tanto increased. He considered that the position of the Minister for Foreign Affairs himself had been strengthened.\n\n7. Turning more particularly to Anglo-Japanese relations, I said to the Ambassador that our recent information from Tientsin was to the effect that the situation at the barrier was still the same, and that, if the Japanese Government wished to improve their general relations with us, there must be an improvement in this particular matter. The Ambassador enquired whether we still held the same opinion about the silver and the currency questions. If we could only change our minds on these two points, the result would be very useful. Things in China had changed a good deal lately. The silver, he said, did not belong to Japan, but neither did it belong to His Majesty's Government. It was only a\n\n[733 u-1]\n\nA\n\n7/12",

As for the currency, this also was a matter of local administration. Again, it was a small point on a much larger horizon and the Ambassador saw no reason why we could not settle this equally. If we could settle these two problems, other outstanding questions would automatically settle themselves. His Excellency would not propose himself that the Tokyo Conference should be reopened, but preferred to settle individual matters one by one.\n\n9. I told the Ambassador that he might well be right in feeling that it was neither necessary nor wise to have a full-dress meeting of the Tokyo Conference. As regards silver, we would like to find a compromise on this matter which would be acceptable to both sides. You had broached this question to the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, but Admiral Nomura had not seemed anxious to reopen discussions.\n\n10. Mr. Shigemitsu observed that he had not received any report from Tokyo regarding your recent conversations with Admiral Nomura, but he did not consider that your Excellency's suggestions on the question of silver and currency were good enough. He proposed that we should do something on the lines he himself had suggested above, which he thought might be better.\n\n11. Reverting to the particular question of silver, the Ambassador asked why we did not determine the ownership of the silver. The Japanese considered that it belonged to the local Chinese. The Japanese Government did not regard the Government of Chungking as having any rights in the matter, since the Japanese Government no longer recognised them. They did, however, support and recognise the Government of North China, and they considered their right to the silver to be undeniable. The Ambassador continued at some length and with some ardour to urge this view. Our attitude, he said, gave the impression that we were not neutral in the dispute between China and Japan, as the Japanese Government were neutral in the war which we were waging with Germany. The new Government in Tokyo were faced with serious internal difficulties, and Mr. Shigemitsu considered that we should do what we could to help them. One of the best methods of doing this was to meet them over the silver and currency questions.\n\n12. I assured his Excellency that I would be glad to consider his arguments with regard to the ownership of the silver. If we were going to settle this question, it must be by some compromise, which we would do our best to find and which would not raise political questions. I fully recognised the efforts which his Excellency was employing to improve our relations with each other, and we would do our best to help. I thought that there was, in fact, a better feeling between our two countries. The tone of the press was more helpful, and I hoped that we could use this feeling to bring about an improvement in the general situation. I should like to keep in close touch with him on this matter.\n\n13. His Excellency expressed his gratitude, and concluded by repeating that it was these small things which continued to be the root of our difficulties in the Far East.\n\nI am,\n\n&c.\n\nHALIFAX.",

It was only with many misgivings that I sent my telegram No.45 and I am grateful to you for your reception of it.\n\nI am glad to say that Chinese opinion in Malaya has now resumed its normal calmness, though the Tokyo discussions are being carefully watched. The recent statements by the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and others in Parliament have done much to reassure them, and of course the arrival of reinforcements here has cheered them immensely. These are regarded as a welcome and stern warning. The local Press is taking the text that these reinforcements mean not only that Great Britain has the will, but also the ability to protect her interests in the Far East. Indeed, our Press is generally quite helpful.\n\nI send you a copy of my statement in the Legislative Council on 31st July, in case you may like to have it. In my last paragraph I intended to hint that, if our Chinese did not behave themselves, they could not expect us to continue our benevolence towards their war Relief Fund which now amounts to some $40 million (say, £2 a head for every Chinese man, woman and child in Malaya). I received a letter of thanks from the Chairman, assuring me of the\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nMALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.\n\nfullest",

I feel that this is a lot to ask, but inspired statements constantly appear in the Press at home in advance of events, and indeed I believe that the Press are periodically summoned for the purpose of being kept up-to-date, when they are told how far they may go in making use of the information provided. Here we get practically nothing but the British Official Press and Reuters, and nothing at all in advance: and what we get is swamped by foreign propaganda. The man in the street is quite ready to trust Great Britain, but blind faith is too much to expect of him, especially when the opposite view is being constantly dinned into his ears. I am of course ready to do all I can, but it is not very easy to guide public opinion unless there is more to work on. The Foreign Office publicity material to which you refer would be invaluable: we badly need a Far East intelligence service.\n\nI realise that what I am suggesting will mean more work for overworked Departments at home, but I am sure it would be worth while. We can deal well enough with any anti-British demonstrations that might occur, but they ought not to be allowed to occur.\n\nI wish that the Press, and others at home, would take to heart the Prime Minister's recent exhortation in regard to the spreading of rumours and false statements. The bits that have the best news-value are sent out by Air Mail to the local Press, and they cannot be blamed for publishing them. They can do immense harm.\n\nWhat I have mentioned the arrival of reinforcements. has really captured the imagination of the public is the way in which the R.A.F. squadrons have suddenly appeared out of the air.

In respect of this the Prime Minister said in the House of Commons: \"The declaration does not connote any change of the British Government's policy in China\". A few weeks earlier, namely on the 24th of June, speaking at a mass meeting in South Wales he had said with particular reference to Japan and the Tientsin disturbances, \"No British Government could submit to dictation from another Power as to its foreign policy\".\n\nThis Anglo-Japanese declaration has been the subject of so much speculation, and, in some quarters, misconstruction, that it is perfectly natural that the Chinese in Malaya should have been seriously perturbed.\n\nI am glad to see that local opinion is leaning more and more to acceptance of the statement of the Prime Minister that the declaration means no change in British policy. The words which I have just quoted are plain words and cannot be misunderstood. They are perfectly clear and obviously sincere.\n\nI have, as I say, been glad to note the attitude adopted by our local Chinese mainly because we sympathise so sincerely with them in the sufferings to which their countrymen are subjected, and we should deplore the infliction on them of any",

Far from putting obstacles in the way we have allowed the collection of funds, and many millions of dollars have been sent to China which in the ordinary course might have been spent here. All we ask is that in their turn the Chinese of Malaya will not be forgetful, but will remember the sympathy and assistance which without stint they have received here during the past two years, will remember that they are living in a British Dependency where they enjoy the blessings of liberty and justice, and will continue to comport themselves accordingly.",

Decision must, of course, be governed by the considerations in my telegram No. 527 to Paris. Pending the replies to this telegram, I should be glad of your views as to the effect of withdrawal on the general situation and whether, although it obviously cannot be used as an actual bargaining counter, or even expressly coupled with the question of resuming Tientsin conversations, it might result in such an improvement in the atmosphere that liquidation of outstanding questions would be easier.\n\nRepeated to Shanghai No. 901, Washington No. 581, and Paris No. 612 Saving.",

I knew however that it was the desire of His Majesty's Government that discussions should be resumed at appropriate moment and I would like to know whether it was General Abe's intention to continue policy of preceding Government in attempting to settle outstanding difficulties one by one with a view to a real improvement in our relations. General Abe replied emphatically in the affirmative. He said that he considered it most unfortunate that it should have been necessary to break off Tientsin discussions which had meant so much to future of Anglo-Japanese relations. He agreed however with a remark of mine that it would be a mistake to renew discussions officially until we had discovered by preliminary sounding that some acceptable compromise could be found and he would be interested to learn, when the time came, whether I had any concrete suggestions to make with this end in view.\n\nI replied that I would think the matter over carefully and hoped to be able to discuss it again with His Excellency at an early date.\n\nR.

I had no objections to raise to the first paragraph although I felt we had already gone a very long way to meet Japanese Government after formula of June 22nd. Paragraph 2 however seemed to me to contain dangerous implication and, if he would forgive my frankness, it had conveyed to me impression that Japanese wished to take advantage of our temporary difficulties in Europe in order to put forward proposals which he must know would seem to us to be unjustifiable.\n\nGeneral Abe replied that he greatly regretted to learn that aide memoire should have made such an impression on me and hoped that I would at once reassure my Government on this point. Speaking with emphasis the Prime Minister stated that Japanese Government had no intention whatever of taking unfair advantage of our difficulties elsewhere. They were however definitely apprehensive lest, in this moment of strain and tension incidents might occur in China which would prejudice Japan's relations with either one side or the other.\n\nJapan wished to remain neutral in conflict in Europe; but she herself was engaged in a serious conflict in China and she felt justified in asking the same attitude of impartiality from foreign powers in relation to the China affair in order to diminish possibilities of complication.

First and foremost outbreak of war should, in the opinion of many Japanese, provide Japan with the opportunity which she has awaited for driving a large part of our interests from China. Secondly, the new cabinet does not impress me very favourably and in any case it lacks the personal incentive of its predecessor to conclude conversations satisfactorily.\n\nWe must avoid the joint danger of appearing over-anxious to renew conversations and missing a favourable opportunity to do so. If the new cabinet were to decide in favour of Japan making common cause with the Democracies, everything would of course be simplified, but there is nothing which could at present justify reliance on any such decision (in such matters Mr. Edwards and even Mr. Shigemitsu may prove dangerous guides), and my observations are based on the assumption that for a time the cabinet will remain on the fence.",

The Ambassador then said that he had been pleased to note the early statement of the new Japanese Government to the effect that Japan would adopt a policy of neutrality towards the present European conflict. This was a source of satisfaction to him, since he knew of the internal difficulties of his Government. He gave me the impression that the statement to which he referred had been inspired by those elements in the Government which were standing out against the influence of the military section and were in favour of closer relations with this country. Mr. Shigemitsu said that no Foreign Secretary had been appointed, and he did not envisage that his own name would be suggested, at any rate for some time ahead.\n\n2. The Ambassador said that he welcomed this opportunity of having a conversation in general terms on the subject of what contribution could be made by our two countries towards a settlement of our outstanding problems. I said that I warmly shared his desire to see such an improvement of relations, and that Great Britain had no political aims in China. The Ambassador welcomed this statement, but said he hoped that His Majesty's Government would come to a proper realisation of the status of Japan on the continent of China. Japan's aim was to establish peace and order. The fighting of the last two years appeared to be drawing to its close, and now he anticipated that, within the next month or so, a new Government would be set up under Mr. Wang Ching-wei, who had been the civil head of the Kuomintang in the early days when Chiang Kai-shek was the military head. It must not be thought that Mr. Wang Ching-wei was pro-Japanese; he was a Chinese patriot, but he was anti-Communist. The Ambassador implied that this was the Government which we should gradually come to realise would be the future Government of China.\n\n3. Continuing his account of the Japanese aims, the Ambassador said that he trusted that the British Concessions in China would not be used as centres of activity against Japan. He also said that any action, which we might take to encourage French or American influence in order to exert pressure on the Japanese, would create a deplorable impression, and would very probably achieve an object other than that we desired. Furthermore, we should not be likely to achieve results in any conversations with the Japanese unless they were carried on on a bilateral basis. The Japanese were not members of the League, were not sympathetic to League procedure, and did not like conversations with several nations at once. Any revision of the Nine-Power Treaty would be much better effected if, in the first place, direct conversations were held between His Majesty's Government and the Japanese Government.\n\n4. I stated in reply to the Ambassador's comprehensive description of the Japanese attitude that His Majesty's Government could not be expected to go back on general policy. While we had every wish to have regard for realities, we could not put ourselves in a position where a charge could be levelled against us of reversing the whole of our Far Eastern policy and breaking with the Chungking Government. On the other hand, I could assure his Excellency, as, indeed, we had made plain in the Tokyo discussions, that we had no wish to allow the concessions to be used as centres of activity against the Japanese.\n\n5. In conclusion, I assured the Ambassador that I would pay due attention to what he had said and would hope to have a further talk with him. The Ambassador replied that the best method of establishing more friendly relations between our two countries would be to consider the major issues of policy which at\n\n[708 1-1]",

In the course of subsequent conversation with the Parliamentary Under-Secretary, the Ambassador enquired whether we had replied to the Japanese aide-mémoire on the subject of the removal of our troops. On being told that an interim reply had been sent, the Ambassador said that he regretted that the new Government had broached this matter so suddenly and, as he felt, so awkwardly. The truth was that the Japanese Government had fear of incidents of which they had had wind. They feared that a clash might take place between two armed forces which, in the present state of international relations, it would be impossible to localise. When asked whether he thought there was an immediate risk of incidents, the Ambassador said that no decision could be taken about the withdrawal of troops in a hurry or, apparently, under pressure. However, that this matter would be approached, following up my offer of a further discussion upon general issues of policy; and that in the interests of peace in the Far East the time would come when we could honourably withdraw some troops, because of their being needed elsewhere, and could at the same time feel sufficient confidence in the Japanese Government to accept their offer to look after British interests in the event of such withdrawal taking place.\n\nI am, &c.\n\nHALIFAX,",

A list of eight probable demands to be made by Japan at the Tokyo Conference was also given. \n\nSummaries of editorials on this subject which have appeared in the local Chinese Press will be found under the heading \"Editorials from local Chinese Newspapers\" on pages 39-44 of this Review. On the whole the first reaction was commendably reserved but, though recognising the probability of Japanese exaggeration, indicated suspicion of Britain's or rather of the Prime Minister's real intentions. \n\nThe fact is that any apparent weakening of Britain towards Japan's demands - which are generally recognised as not being confined to the Tientsin issue alone - would be a blow to the morale of the Chinese Government and its supporters, among whom one may certainly count the vast majority of Chinese in Malaya. \n\nMr. Tan Kah Kee, the chairman of the South Seas China Relief Fund Union, was very quick off the mark, and on Sunday afternoon, the 23rd July, sent telegrams to the leading London newspapers and to Mr. Winston Churchill, \n\nPage 90\n\nPage 91",

On the face of a Tokyo message of 23rd July, much of the news is nothing but Japanese propaganda maliciously invented and crudely worded with the main object of rousing Chinese everywhere against Great Britain. I would strongly appeal to my fellow countrymen of Malaya not to be misguided by such childish tactics. The British Government cannot be fooled in the game of politics, and whatever compromise may be made at Tokyo over the Tientsin issue, overseas Chinese may rest assured that Great Britain will never forsake China owing to the strong ties which bind China and Britain together.\"\n\nOn the morning of Tuesday, the 25th July, the Prime Minister's statement, made in the House of Commons on the previous day, was published in the local press. This statement of the joint Anglo-Japanese declaration drawn up by the Japanese Foreign Minister and the British Ambassador was as follows: \"His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom fully recognise the actual situation in China where hostilities on a large scale are in progress and note that, so long as that state of affairs continues to exist, Japanese forces in China have special requirements for the purpose of safeguarding their own security and maintaining public order in regions under their control, and that they have to suppress any such acts or causes as will obstruct them or benefit the enemy. His Majesty's Government have no intention of countenancing any acts or measures prejudicial to the attainment of the above-mentioned objects by Japanese forces, and they will take this opportunity to confirm their policy in this respect by making it plain to the British authorities and British nationals in China that they should refrain from such acts and measures.\"",

In addition, the local British newspapers all published leading articles deploring any lack of faith in Britain's policy and counselling reliance on the sincerity of her intentions.\n\nThe Chinese press was, for the most part, still suspicious and inclined to take the line that even if China were deserted she would fight to the last.\n\nThe President and Vice-president of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce were interviewed by the Assistant Secretary for Chinese Affairs at the Chinese Secretariat on the morning of the 25th, and warned of the danger of allowing uninformed patriotic enthusiasm and Japanese propaganda to dominate the forthcoming meeting. They were of opinion that the Prime Minister's statement had modified the resentment caused by the original news reports and that the purpose of the meeting would be to endorse the action taken by Mr. Tan Kah Kee in sending the telegrams to England.\n\nAbout a thousand people were present at the meeting, which was conducted in an orderly manner. Mr. Tan Kah Kee presided and addressed the meeting. After likening any continuance of the Munich tactics to the feeding of a tiger which, when the supply of flesh is not forthcoming, will pounce on the feeder himself, he praised the Malayan Governments for their tolerance in the regulation of the patriotic activities of Chinese during the last two years and expressed keen appreciation of the generous attitude of these governments.

If Britain accepts terms which are in conflict with China's interest, overseas Chinese will certainly be dissatisfied.\n\nAccording to your observation, what form will overseas Chinese take in their expression of dissatisfaction?\n\nOverseas Chinese may oppose British compromise with the Japanese, but they will maintain Anglo-Chinese friendship. If a demonstration is held among the youths as an expression of their opposition, I will do my best to discourage such action.\n\nIf Great Britain decides to compromise, will she accept terms other than those concerning the Tientsin incident?\n\nMy personal opinion is that Britain will not accept terms other than those concerning the Tientsin incident. But if she complies with whatever demands are made by the Japanese, she is assisting the latter in committing outrages.\n\nDo you think the following demands will be included in the Anglo-Japanese terms:-\n\n(i)\n\n(ii) Surrender to the Japanese of the Chinese silver in Tientsin;\n\n(iii) Suspension of communication along the Yunnan-Burma Highway;\n\nCessation of financial help to China.\n\nI cannot say whether Britain is going to accept the 1st demand. But the acceptance of the other two demands amounts to surrender and I believe that Britain will not accept them.\n\nAs a result of British compromise, the influence of the Japanese-sponsored governments in China will be increased. Under these circumstances, do you think there is a possibility of overseas Chinese turning to the puppet government?\n\nThere is absolutely no such possibility. No overseas Chinese of today will look upon the Japanese as anything other than a common enemy. They want to carry on the war to the last.\n\nIn the event of the outbreak of a world war or an invasion of Malaya by the Japanese, what attitude will overseas Chinese assume towards Britain and Japan?",

Overseas Chinese will willingly do anything that will safeguard Malaya. \n\nIt is said that many Chinese in the employ of the Japanese are engaged in conducting propaganda and destructive work, \n\nDo you know that? \n\nThe number of these shameless Chinese traitors is extremely small and their work is not effective. They cannot conduct their activities publicly. They will be attacked by patriotic overseas Chinese once they are found out. \n\nWhat are the methods of destruction employed by them and the Japanese? \n\nI understand there are three, viz: written and oral counter-propaganda and the despatch of counter-propaganda documents. Such documents are not effective and will be thrown away by overseas Chinese when they are received. \n\nAre there any tools of Wang Ching Wei in Singapore to conduct propaganda on his behalf? \n\nThe number is very small. At any rate they cannot pursue any activities owing to the strictness of the Malayan Government. \n\nThe announcement, on the 28th July, that the United States of America had notified Japan of the proposed abrogation of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between the two countries helped to reassure Chinese public opinion, His Excellency the Governor and High Commissioner at a meeting of the Legislative Council of the Colony held on the 31st July made the following announcement:- \n\n\"I make no apology for saying a few words on a subject \n\nwhich for the past few days has been the subject of widespread comment: I mean the Anglo-Japanese declaration issued on July 24th. \n\nIn respect of this the Prime Minister said in the House of Commons: The declaration does not connote any change of the British Government's policy in China.'",

They are perfectly clear and obviously sincere.\n\nI have, as I say, been glad to note the attitude adopted by our local Chinese, mainly because we sympathise so sincerely with them in the sufferings to which their countrymen are subjected and we should deplore the infliction on them of any unnecessary anxiety; but also because once again they have shown their sound commonsense in refusing to be stampeded by hasty conclusions, and by the specious arguments of those who by sowing the seeds of mistrust would do harm both to Great Britain and China.\n\nOnce more, by their behaviour, the Chinese of Malaya compel our admiration, and I hope that what I have said will give them confidence and support. Throughout this unhappy struggle, the Governments of Malaya have shown, so far as they properly may, their full sympathy with the sufferers in China. The War Relief Fund is a case in point. Far from putting obstacles in the way, we have allowed the collection of funds, and many millions of dollars have been sent to China which, in the ordinary course, might have been spent here.\n\nAll we ask is that, in their turn, the Chinese of Malaya will not be forgetful, but will remember the sympathy and assistance which, without stint, they have received here during the past two years, will remember that they are living in a British Dependency where they enjoy the blessings of liberty and justice, and will continue to comport themselves accordingly.\"\n\nIn general, local Chinese opinion is still somewhat sceptical and the outcome of the Tokyo talks is eagerly awaited.",

Clark Kerr (Shanghai).\n\n(No. 842.) Sir,\n\nForeign Office, August 28, 1939. HIS Excellency the Chinese Ambassador called to-day on instructions from his Government to discuss the effect of the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact on the Far-Eastern situation. Dr. Quo said that the information at the disposal of the Chinese Government indicated that the Japanese Government were much put out, and that the recent resignation of the Japanese Cabinet had been caused by the Japanese army attributing the present state of affairs to the failure of the Cabinet to sign a full treaty of alliance with Germany and Italy. In a European war Japan would probably at first wait and then, if the democracies seemed likely to gain the upper hand, make approaches to them. Indeed, there already seemed indications that the Japanese Government desired to renew friendship with the democracies. In these circumstances, he had been instructed by the Chinese Government to enquire whether, as a result of the Soviet-German Pact, there would be any change in the policy of His Majesty's Government towards the Far-Eastern conflict.\n\n2. I told Dr. Quo that, unlike Herr Hitler and Comrade Stalin, His Majesty's Government were not accustomed to change their policy overnight. That policy, which was well known to Dr. Quo, had last been set out in my statement in the House of Lords on the 3rd August last; briefly, it was that we hoped to try and improve relations with Japan without at the same time impairing our relations with China, or attempting to evade our treaty obligations. It was not, therefore, so much a question of what repercussions the pact would be likely to have on Great Britain's policy, but what effect it was likely to have upon Japanese policy. It might be that the Japanese would now be easier for us to handle, and they might be more disposed to be reasonable towards China. The shock to the Japanese had been great, since the Japanese regarded themselves as having been double-crossed by the Germans. But it was too early to say definitely whether there would be any radical change in Japanese policy. One would have expected that one result would be to make Japan more sensitive to United States opinion, a development which would be all to the good.\n\n3. His Excellency agreed, but stated that, while Japan had been to some extent sensitive to United States opinion in the past, it had not affected their attitude towards China or their foreign interests, and, generally speaking, their policy towards the establishment of a new order in China would, he thought, remain unchanged. The composition of the new Cabinet would, however, give some indication of what methods Japan decided to pursue in China. Japanese army, he felt, would not lightly give up their programme of expansion in the Far East, since they were not yet convinced of the futility of their present policy.\n\n4. Dr. Quo then referred to the decision of the Shanghai Maritime Customs to accept Hua Hsing notes from the 1st September in payment of customs duties. The Chinese Government recognised this as a serious development. I replied that I had no knowledge of this, and suggested that Dr. Quo should discuss it with the head of the competent Department.\n\n5. In conclusion, Dr. Quo enquired whether there were any developments in the general European situation, and I informed him of the general terms of the reply which was being sent to Herr Hitler the same evening. There was perhaps just a ray of hope that a peaceful settlement might yet be reached.\n\nI am,\n\n&c.\n\nHALIFAX.\n\n[683 ee-1]",

Received 12.47 p.m. 22nd June, 1939.\n\n4107\n\nNo.45.\n\nGovernment House. Secret and Personal.\n\nI find myself compelled to inform you that the political effects on Asiatics in Malaya of our inaction in China is bad. While the general feeling of the local Chinese is strongly anti-Japanese and extremely loyal to local Government, there is much criticism of failure to deal adequately with the high-handed and oppressive measures taken by the Japanese in Yangtze River. Opinion amongst the upper and middle classes is that British prestige has been falling ever since the shooting of the British Ambassador and that the insults and outrages on British subjects and property in China are nothing new and are only to be expected as a result of British weakness.\n\nThey will not be surprised if the British concessions in Tientsin and Shanghai are surrendered. Opinion amongst the lower classes is frankly that Britain is afraid and that the British soldiers are not so brave and daring as the Japanese.\n\nFrom the enclosure to my letter of 22nd November, you will realise that as regards Siamese, we are merely playing into the hands of the Japanese.\n\nFor what it is worth, my own opinion is that Japan would not stand up to resolute action on our part and that such action should be taken now. If we do not, we run the risk of alienating the goodwill of those who are still friendly disposed.",
