- I am informed by the correspondent of the Associated Press that yesterday the Japanese Embassy orally asked the Foreign Office to cause the issuance of instructions to the appropriate authorities looking to the cessation of anti-Japanese activities and the suppression of anti-Japanese organizations. The recent murder of a Japanese Marine in Shanghai and the subsequent attack upon a Japanese shop in the International Settlement were not mentioned, according to my informant, and care was taken to emphasize that no protests or demands were being lodged and that the representations were purely in the nature of a request.
