Shanghai, February 27, 1938—5 p.m.
[Received February 27—2:25 p.m.]

325. Reference my 234, February 10, 6 p.m.⁷³ last paragraph. Following an assurance given me some days ago, the Japanese authorities have now announced that facilities will be given for the removal of foreign cargo from the Chinese wharves and warehouses in question in the area north of the Creek beginning March 1. This is not the end of our problems but we are slowly making some headway.
