The Consul at Shanghai (Butrick) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 21—6:45 a.m.]
809. My 798, August 19, 4 p.m. and 804, August 20, 4 p.m., regarding Shanghai defense sectors. Admiral Glassford desires my to state [Page 782] that conversations between Vice Admiral Iwamura and himself were considered private as between two accredited representatives of the two Commanders in Chief concerned. Therefore, in my opinion they should not be published but with the above in mind I see no reason why they should not be considered as official.
Sent to the Department. Repeated to Peiping, Chungking, Tokyo.
