The Consul General at Shanghai (Gauss) to the Secretary of State

No. 2219

Shanghai, May 22, 1939.
[Received June 28.]

Sir: I have the honor to submit with this despatch a copy of a self-explanatory communication that the Acting Consul General for Japan in Shanghai addressed to me on May 19, 1939,⁷² offering on behalf of the Japanese military authorities the limited facilities of Japanese transports to Americans who evacuated Kuling prior to the Japanese military operations against that place and who now desire to return there.

Respectfully yours,

C. E. Gauss
