Message No. 2,907.

According to a message from our ambassador in China and the consul-general in Shanghai, the Japanese authorities have up to the present treated the English and Americans according to 'the letter of the law'. It would appear that these 12 districts could continue to lead a normal life under certain administrative restrictions. But there is reason to fear that the strict treatment of the Colonies in the Anglo-American districts will provoke reprisals.

This news has been forwarded through my services to the American Ambassador. Would you pass it on to M. ...NBECK, if you think it desirable.

DIPLOMATIC.
