The Consul General at Hankow (Adams) to the Secretary of State

36. The local representative of the Lutheran United Mission informs me that Kwangchow in southeast Honan is threatened by a considerable communist force. This information is corroborated by a letter received from Sin Yang Chow. I have telegraphically requested the Honan Government to afford adequate protection to the Americans in Kwangchow. Registration records here indicate that there are six Americans in Kwangchow.
