The Commander in Chief of the United States Asiatic Fleet (Yarnell) to the Chief of Naval Operations (Leahy)9

[Shanghai,] November 29, 1937—10:26 a.m.

0029. In view of financial hardships in many cases, Commander in Chief offers no objections to the return to Shanghai of dependents of officers and men of the Navy and Marine Corps stationed permanently in that city. In such return consideration should be given to the far from normal conditions now existing.
