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

133. I hear from an official source that the Japanese demonstration yesterday before the Provincial Government headquarters in Tientsin [Page 192] was accompanied by “advice” that the Provincial Government move to Paotingfu without delay, that similar warning has been given Ho Ying-chin in respect to the Peiping Military Affairs Council, and that both Yu Hsueh-chung and Ho are taking steps to comply.

For the Minister:
Atcheson
