Addressed to Hong Kong telegram No, 3 Saving of 28 July Repeated for information Saving to:
Foreign Office,
The influential Mainichi Shimbun is publishing a series of "first-hand" reports on the situation in Hong Kong. So far three front-page articles all alarmist in tone have appeared on successive days,
2. Information Counsellor has spoken to the managing editor making the point that such sensational treatment of the subject can only tend to destroy confidence in the stability of Hong Kong and thus is damaging to Japanese interests as well as others.
3. The reports emanate from a four-man team of reporters led by Mainichi staff correspondent in the colony Minoru Ueno.
You may wish to consider whether there are any measures which could be taken at your end to convert the Mainichi journalists to a more positive view of the situation. The series is due to continue two or three days more we understand.
Mr. Shaw
