The Consul General at Tientsin ( Caldwell ) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 28—7 a.m.]
Japanese censorship of mails has been revived in central post office. Consular Corps has made complaint to Japanese Consul General who undertook to investigate the matter but stated that as this is a military measure it is beyond his control. No evidence so far that any American or other foreign mail has been censored.
Tientsin quiet today. Japanese Consul General stated that Japanese military will not disarm Paoantui here and will endeavor to avoid disturbance in the city. Consular Corps is referring to this assurance and asking Chinese chief of police to make an effort also to avoid disturbance.
