The Consul at Amoy (MacVitty) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 4—10:18 a.m.]
Department’s 272, September 1, 5 p.m. to Tokyo. The Department’s suggestion in the second substantive paragraph that the present Japanese sub-inspector might be replaced by an officer considered more suitable by the Japanese would probably not receive the approval [Page 156] of the Municipal Council as the Council could not accept an appointee of the Japanese or any other government in any executive capacity.
Sent to Peiping. Repeated to Chungking, Shanghai. Peiping please repeat to Tokyo.
