The Consul General at Canton (Jenkins) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

Canton, April 7, 1926—3 p.m.
[Received April 7—9:58 a.m.]

Department’s telegram April 3, 2 p.m. The anti-Christian movement is apparently a general one. Americans are affected primarily, probably for the reason that American missions are the most numerous. Since the original outbreak, in June, no British missions have been attacked. The Italian Catholic mission was occupied by troops recently.
