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

Canton, February 10, 1939—6 p.m.
[Received February 10—10:32 a.m.]

22. Reference my 21, February 5, 4 p.m. The Pearl River was reopened for movement of foreign warships as from this morning. The landing of Japanese troops on Hainan4 seems to explain closure of the river.

Repeated to Chungking, Peiping.
