Abstract
Correspondence from the Foreign Office (A00001244) concerning actions to be taken by the British garrisons in Shanghai and Tientsin if the Japanese threaten these settlements or are at war with the British. It also includes discussion on disclosing instructions to US military if Japanese troops enter Tientsin, Japanese numerical superiority precluding effective resistance, and Japanese aggression serving as a casus belli, precipitating war in Europe.
