No. 420.
Hongkong telegram No. 55 to Canton of May 10th, repeated to
Secretary of State for Colonies.
You will probably wish me to protest against this renewed violation of New Territory.
Protest will be more effective if I
am authorised at the same time to say that any further aeroplanes violating New Territory render themselves liable to anti-aircraft
fire.
Military and Naval Authorities here both deny aeroplanes which violated New Territory before (see my telegram No. 372) were Japanese as they have given strict instructions that New Territory
was not to be violated, I could add that warning which I give to Japanese Government is also being given to the Chinese Government.
Addressed to Foreign Office No. 420 May 13th; repeated to Shanghai No. 335 and Hongkong No. 82.
