IF THE SHIP CONTINUES TO SHANGHAI AND ULTIMATELY TO A JAPANESE PORT WITH THE REFUGEES STILL ON BOARD WE MAY HAVE TO ASK
5.
THE JAPANESE TO HOLD TO THEIR GENEVA ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL ALLOW REFUGEES RESCUED AT SEA BY ANY VESSEL TO DISEMBARK AT A JAPANESE PORT WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS THE FIRST PORT OF CALL. HOWEVER TOKYO SHOULD TAKE NO ACTION WITH THE JAPANESE AT PRESENT. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE RUDDBANK WILL REACH A JAPANESE PORT UNTIL NEXT MONTH.
