The Ambassador in China (Johnson) to the Secretary of State

Hankow, February 21, 1938—3 p.m.
[Received February 21—10:47 a.m.]

117. My 102, February 14, 11 a.m. I understand British Embassy, complying with instructions from London, will tell Kung this evening that British Government strongly disapproves the proposed instructions to Maze because they confront Commissioners with alternatives of signing [resigrdng?] or breaking the formal integrity of the customs.

Johnson
