The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Shanghai (Gauss)
623. Your 984, November 18, 7 p.m., second paragraph. We note from your telegram under reference that the Shanghai Volunteer Corps has been demobilized and that the foreign defense sectors are being very lightly held, and would appreciate being informed what, if any, changes have occurred in regard to these matters since the sending of your telegram under reference. Are the American and other foreign forces on duty throughout their respective sectors or only in certain portions thereof? Do they maintain patrols and if so where?
