The Consul General at Mukden (Ward) to the Secretary of State 30
[Received November 3—2:36 a. m.]
494. Not unlikely I shall be taken to task by local authorities over Government bombing Mukden in as much bombers and presumably bombs were obtained by Government from United States, and shall, therefore, appreciate being informed soonest if we made appeal to Government cease bombing. Such information, if in my possession could perhaps stand U. S. in good stead in getting established here. No aerial bombing Mukden during past 20 hours causes me believe such appeal may have been made and heeded. Soonest reply requested if affirmative.
