The Ambassador in Japan (Grew) to the Secretary of State

Tokyo, September 6, 1937—1 p.m.
[Received September 6—12:45 a.m.]

350. Department’s 191, September 4, 4 p.m. and Shanghai’s 648, September 4, 10 a.m. My British and French colleagues are taking no action pending receipt of instructions for which they have telegraphed to their respective Governments. As my instructions are to make representations “in association” with concerned colleagues, I am withholding action for the time being.

Repeated to Shanghai for information of Yarnell and for relaying to Nanking.
