The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Japan (Grew)
Washington, April 1, 1938—9
p.m.
116. Nanking’s 87, March 29, 4 p.m. Department feels that there is no necessity for giving you express instruction, with regard to each case as it arises, to take appropriate action; but it occurs to Department that, in the light of the information now given by Nanking, this might be an opportune moment to urge again upon the Foreign Office that Americans who have interests at Nanking be permitted to proceed to and remain in that city, as Japanese nationals appear to be doing in considerable numbers.
