The Ambassador in Japan ( Forbes ) to the Acting Secretary of State

Tokyo , August 10, 1931—5 p.m.
[Received August 10—9:50 a.m.]

117. Embassy’s telegram 80, June 11, noon. Herndon and Pang-born landed in Japan, August 7th, without permit after flying over several fortified zones taking moving pictures on the way. They have spent a very bad week end with the police but have not been actually arrested. The Embassy is using its good offices to mitigate official displeasure. Result uncertain as yet.
