The Minister in China (Johnson) to the Secretary of State

Peiping, August 27, 1932—9 a.m.
[Received August 26—11:15 p.m.]

1016. Your 283, August 25, 4 p.m. Situation quiet at the moment. Recent evidence of willingness of the Japanese Legation guard commandant to cooperate (see my 1107 [1007], August 25, 4 p.m.) opens new avenue of approach which commandants will take advantage of.

Will keep the Department informed.

Johnson
