Confidential British Foreign OfficePolitical Correspondence

The General Correspondence fileswere and still are the main repository forthe documents collected by the BritishForeign Office. Begun on 1 January1782, the same year as the creation ofthe Foreign Office, the GeneralCorrespondence files contain the vastmajority of the documentation receivedand created by the Foreign Office.These are the working papers of theForeign Office used in the developmentof British foreign policy. The informationcontained in the documents was oftenclassified and was not made availablefor study outside the British governmentuntil many years after the documentswere created.

The filing system of the GeneralCorrespondence was significantlyrevised in 1906. Since 1906, the papershave been arranged into eleven classesof General Correspondence: Africa,New Series; Commercial; Communica-tions; Consular; Contraband; DominionsInformation; Library; News; Political;Prisoners of War and Aliens; andTreaty. Each of these classes containsthe papers of the department afterwhich it is named, except for Political,which comprises the several politicaldepartments.

This microfilm publication containscopies of only the Political class ofGeneral Correspondence. The ForeignOffice is internally divided into depart-ments, and the political departments arethose in which the diplomatic businessof the Foreign Office is conducted.Diplomatic business should be thoughtof in very broad terms. It includes notonly the formal relations between twocountries, but also the information

needed by the British government inorder to conduct diplomatic relations.This includes not only the domesticpolitical, economic, social, and culturalconditions of another country plus thatcountry’s relations with other nations,but also British internal politicalconcerns.

Each political department is responsi-ble for diplomatic relations betweenGreat Britain and a number of countries.Below are listed the political depart-ments and the countries for which theywere responsible during the 1934 to1935 period.

(1) American Department: America(North, South, and Central)

(2) Central Department: Execution ofPeace Treaties; Belgium, Danzig,France, Germany, Luxembourg (1935),Poland; Europe General; War Debts

(3) Eastern Department: Iraq, Persia,Saudi Arabia (formerly the Hejaz andNejd), Syria, Turkey; Foreign Relationsof Palestine, Transjordan, and the minorArabian States

(4) Egyptian Department: Abyssinia(1934), Africa (general), Egypt, Eritrea,Ethiopia (1935), French and ItalianSomaliland, Liberia, Libya, Sudan

(5) Far Eastern Department: China,Japan, Siam; Traffic in DangerousDrugs

(6) League of Nations and WesternDepartment: League of Nations;Disarmament; Holland, Luxembourg(1934), Morocco, New Hebrides,Portugal, Spain, Switzerland; Belgian,Dutch, French, Portuguese, andSpanish overseas possessions (1934);General; Economic Relations

(7) Northern Department: Afghani-stan, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,

Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway,Soviet Union, Sweden

(8) Southern Department: Albania,Austria, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,Greece, Hungary, Italy, Romania,Yugoslavia

In this microfilm edition, UniversityPublications of America has publishedthe formerly confidential GeneralCorrespondence Political files on Chinafrom 1934 to 1935. The papers for eachyear were bound into volumes by theForeign Office, in the order that theywere originally filed. The majority of thedocuments found in these files aredespatches, letters, and telegrams fromBritish diplomatic posts to the ForeignOffice and Foreign Office letters,telegrams, and instructions to the posts.In addition, there is a large number ofdocuments created by the ForeignOffice, such as minutes of meetings,reports, and correspondence with othergovernment ministries and foreigngovernment embassies in London. Also,Cabinet papers dealing with foreignpolicy and parliamentary debates arekept in these files.

All documentation coming into theForeign Office was opened by theCentral Registry and placed insidedocket sheets. Each docket sheet wasstamped with the name of the countryand the series (if not political), with thedate of receipt, and with a registrynumber. In the case of outgoingcorrespondence that was not aresponse, a copy of that paper wouldreceive its own docket sheet andregistry number. The registry numberbegan at number one each year, anddockets were numbered consecutivelyas they were received by the CentralRegistry. One numbering series wasused for all departments within theForeign Office.

Docket sheets with the encloseddocument would then be forwarded tothe department responsible for thatcountry. Officials in the department

would review the document and decideif or what action would be taken on theinformation contained in the document.Space on the docket sheets wasavailable for officials to record recom-mendations and other informationpertinent to that document. In addition,all documentation created in responseto the original document was attachedto the original docket sheet. Thesewould include internal Foreign Officememoranda and reports, Cabinetmeetings and papers, and drafts andcopies of the replies to the originaldocument.

When action on a docket sheet andits attached papers was completed, itwas returned to the Sub-Registry (therewas a Sub-Registry on each floor of theForeign Office). There the papers werefiled by year, country, and subject forready reference. Papers on the samesubject would be filed together innumerical order with the lowest registrynumber first. The first registry number inthe file was used as the file number.After one and a half to two years, anannual file would then be transferred tothe library.

China, 1934–1935The British Foreign Office Political

Correspondence files on China for1934–1935 cover a myriad of topics,including Japanese aggression anddesigns in the years preceding the Sino-Japanese War of 1937–1945 and theChinese central government’s struggleagainst the Communists to controlChina. Although nominally the govern-ment of all of China, the Nationalistgovernment exercised direct influencemainly in the central and lower Yangtzeprovinces and the coastal ports. ForeignOffice documents reported not only thepolitical and military facets of theNationalist-Communist struggle andJapanese aggression, but also furtherencroachments made by other foreign

ix

powers and other developments thataffected British interests in China.

These Foreign Office files extensivelydetail Sino-Japanese relations andJapanese policy on China during thisturbulent period. After the invasion ofManchuria by Japan in 1931 and thecreation of Manchukuo in March 1932,Japanese demands on and designs inChina increased. On April 17, 1934, aspokesmen of the Japanese Ministry ofAffairs effectively claimed China asJapan’s sphere of influence: Japanwould oppose all foreign technical,financial, and military assistance toChina except its own. Throughout 1934and 1935, North China and InnerMongolia were the scenes of Japanese-inspired “autonomy movements” thatthreatened to put large parts of thecountry under Japanese control. Aspressure increased in 1935, theNationalist government agreed toremove its troops and Kuomintangorganizations from Hopei Province inorder to prevent the forcible annexationof the province by Japan’s KwantungArmy.

Despite rising popular sentiment toresist the external threat from Japan,Chiang Kai-shek made it his policy todefeat internal enemies first. Thismicrofilm collection puts into contextand documents the progress of theNationalist government’s exterminationcampaigns against the Communists,who were seen as the greatest internalthreat to political stability. In October1933, the Nationalists began their Fifth(and final) Encirclement and Extermina-tion Campaign. While this last campaignwas temporarily interrupted by therebellion of the Nineteenth Route Armyand its establishment of the People’sRevolutionary government in FukienProvince in November 1933, it resumedwith even greater vigor in February1934.

Despite the first four campaigns, theCommunists had organized and began

to govern the Kiangsi Soviet and wereonly driven out of Kiangsi Province inOctober 1934 when they began what isknown as the Long March. The LongMarch finally ended in October 1935after a grueling six-thousand-mileretreat through southwest and westernChina, culminating in northern ShensiProvince with the meeting of MaoZedong, who had cemented hisleadership of the Communists duringthe march, and Xu Haidong, command-er of the Fifteenth Red Army Corps. Atthe same time Nationalist forces werebattling the Communist threat in China’sinterior, the Nanking government washard-pressed to maintain its authorityover the periphery of the country. Inaddition to the loss of Manchuria andareas of North China to the Japanese,the border regions of Mongolia, Tibet,and Sinkiang were in open revolt or hadbecome autonomous. Even theremaining territory of China proper wasnot all under the control of the centralgovernment, as local warlords heldconsiderable power in some areas andoccasionally rose up against theNationalist government at Nanking.

British business and trade interestsare also well-documented by thiscollection. While British trade in 1934still accounted for the largest percent-age of foreign trade with China, GreatBritain’s predominant position had beensubstantially eroded by Japanesecompetition. These files amply detail thefriction between Japan and Great Britainon economic and trade matters andshed light on British government policyon trade in China. The creation ofManchukuo proved to be a serious blowto British and other foreign businessand industry in Manchuria. Manchukuoauthorities routinely discriminatedagainst foreign businesses, with statemonopolies threatened or established inkey industries. Treaty rights, such asextraterritoriality, that British subjectsand businesses enjoyed in China were

x

often violated by Manchukuo authori-ties, even though the Manchukuogovernment assured the interestedPowers that it would adhere to thetreaties when it took power in 1932. TheBritish government found itself unable toprotect British business there, as GreatBritain refused to recognize theManchukuo government and had nomeans of lodging direct protests. Britishprotests to the Japanese governmentfell on deaf ears, as the Japanesegovernment disclaimed responsibility forthe actions of the Manchukuoauthorities.

In 1934 China’s economic well-beingwas gravely threatened by a monetarycrisis. The U.S. Silver Purchase Act of1934 authorized the U.S. Treasury topurchase silver until a ratio of 1:3 silverto gold was reached in U.S. monetarystocks. The increased demand for silverled to an increase in price, causing theChinese silver dollar to appreciate anddegrade China’s balance of payments.This microfilm collection extensivelydetails the resulting crisis and the Britishgovernment’s involvement in thereorganization of Chinese currency,including the role of Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, chief financial adviser to theBritish government.

Aside from political and economicquestions on the national and interna-tional level, this collection offers awealth of information on local conditionsin China in the form of political andintelligence reports from British consularofficers throughout the country.

Quarterly political reports coveredpolitical conditions in the consulardistrict, including Communist activity.Semiannual intelligence reports coveredpolitical, economic, and social condi-tions in the consular district in greaterdetail than the political reports. Issuescovered include crime and police action;Communist activity; information onChinese officials; judicial matters;taxation; provincial assembly activity;agricultural conditions; communications;finance; business and industry; postal,customs, and salt administrations;opium and other drugs; arms trafficking;labor and revolutionary movements;municipal affairs; commercial andindustrial intelligence; shipping; minesand mining; extraterritoriality; military,naval, and aviation intelligence; andactivities of foreign officials.

The quantity of documentation onChina in the Foreign Office PoliticalCorrespondence files for 1934–1935 isgreater than that of any other Westernnation. Although British influence inChina was waning from its height in thefirst two decades of the twentiethcentury and U.S. influence was rising,British information-gathering was stillparamount. The documentationgathered by the numerous Britishdiplomatic, consular, military, andcommercial officials is crucial tounderstanding the Nationalist govern-ment at Nanking and Japaneseactivities and aggression in China inwhat was effectively a prelude to theSecond World War.

How to Use This Guide

Arrangement on MicrofilmThe bureaucratic procedure used to

catalog and file the correspondence thatwas received and issued by the ForeignOffice followed a “mother-daughter”format. As each new piece of corre-spondence on a specific topic arrived atthe Foreign Office (or was issued by theForeign Office), it was placed in apacket. Each of these packets usuallybegan with a telegram, letter, ormemorandum addressed either to theForeign Office or to another governmentdepartment that eventually forwarded itto the Foreign Office. All other corre-spondence directly related to theoriginal (or main) document in a givenyear was placed within this samepacket.

For bureaucratic ease, these“daughter” packets were grouped into anumber of subject-specific file folders.Each of these subject-specific folders(hereafter referred to as the “mother”folders) is therefore composed of anumber of smaller files into which therelative correspondence is placed. New“mother” folders were created fordifferent “daughter” topics at thebeginning of each year and wereperiodically bound in annual volumes.

Each “daughter” record within a given“mother” folder has its own cover sheet.The cover sheet (see example) is astandard form, divided into boxeslabeled “Last Paper,” “Print,” Howdisposed of,” “Next Paper,” and“Minutes.” The information on the coversheet may be typed, handwritten, orboth. The year is stamped in the top leftcorner of the cover sheet, 1934 in thiscase. To the right of the year stamp inthe top-center of the sheet are twoboxes. The upper box contains a

stamped single letter identifying thedepartment that has jurisdiction over thematters discussed in the document (“F”for Far Eastern Department); the lowerbox contains the stamped name of thecountry that is dealt with in the docu-ment (China). The box in the top right-hand corner contains a stamped pagenumber (1) as well as a stamp contain-ing the date the document was receivedby the registry (5 Jan 1934) and theregistry number of this daughter packet(F 103).

Immediately below the year stamp isa box containing the complete ForeignOffice registry number (F 103/103/10)for the individual daughter record. Thisis a unique number that refers only tothat specific file. The letter “F” denotesFar Eastern Department. The firstnumber identifies the daughter record(103). (As mentioned above, thisnumber is also stamped in the top rightcorner of the cover sheet.) The secondnumber identifies the “mother” or initialrecord in the file (also 103). The lastnumber is the country code (10 is thecode for China). In this guide, a registrynumber is combined with the last twonumbers of the year the document wasreceived to create a meaningful citation.The Foreign Office registry number ofthe last paper in the file started by ourexample is referred to in this guide asF 5685/103/10/34 and thus pertains tothe Far Eastern Department’s document5685, which is on the same subject andis contained in the same mother folderas document 103, deals with China, andwas received in 1934.

In the same box but immediatelybelow the Foreign Office registrynumber is the author of the document(Sir Francis Lindley, British ambassador

xii

to Japan), the document’s origin (TokyoEmbassy), and the despatch ortelegram number (2 (K)). Below this aretwo dates. The upper date is the date ofthe document; the lower date is the datethe document was received by theForeign Office registry. At the bottom ofthis box is a reiteration of the relevantForeign Office department and country(F: China).

To the right of the box containing theregistry number, author, and dates is aspace for a brief description of thecontents of the document. There is

usually an underlined title for thedocument (“Manchukuo constitution,” inthis case) and a brief synopsis of thedocument’s contents. Under this, in thebox labeled “Minutes,” there are oftenhandwritten or typed comments,sometimes quite extensive, frommembers of the Foreign Office. (“Thisimpending development has been freelyrumoured in the Press for several dayspast….”) Within each daughter there aresometimes more pages with initialedcomments of varying length, which are

xiii

either attached to the cover sheet orscribbled on the back of it.

On the left side of the cover sheetunder the box containing Foreign Officeregistry number, document author, anddates are a number of smaller boxes.The box labeled “Last Paper” containsthe registry number of the last paperthat dealt with the same topic (in thiscase the last paper was from a previousyear: F 6163/337/10/33). The boxlabeled “References” contains registrynumbers of related documents. In manycases, some or all of the documentscontained in the daughter packet were

printed and compiled in the ForeignOffice Confidential Print Series for widerdistribution. Instructions to do so wereinserted in the box marked “Print.” Ifcopies of papers were to be forwardedto governmental departments outsidethe Foreign Office, confirmation was leftin the “How disposed of” box. Finally,the box marked “Next Paper” containsthe registry number of the next paperdealing with the same subject.

Components of This GuideThis guide to UPA’s microfilm edition

of Confidential British Foreign OfficePolitical Correspondence for China,Series 3, 1932–1945, Part 2: 1934–1935 is the first of a new type of guidefor UPA’s British Foreign Office PoliticalCorrespondence series. The new formatis designed to take the place of bothpreliminary and final guides to futureeditions of UPA’s British Foreign OfficePolitical Correspondence. The newguides feature more descriptive contentin the Reel Index than previouspreliminary guides. As in previousguides, each file is identified by itsForeign Office registry number and abrief title. The Reel Index of the newguide is augmented by an abstract ofthe file’s contents. Beneath the abstract,subject descriptors list the mainsubjects dealt with in the file andcorrespond to terms used in the subjectindex. Further descriptive informationincludes the range of registry numbersof the individual papers enclosed in thefile, the range of dates on which theindividual papers were received by theForeign Office, inclusive pages, and theregistry number of the last paper from aprevious volume that dealt with thesame subject.

The Index by Subjects and Names isextremely useful for a number ofdifferent research projects and method-ologies. For example, if one wishes tochart the contours of a large theme orissue through time, one would mostlikely start with this index. In thisvolume, there are no entries solelyunder the subject of “China” becausethe whole microfilm collection deals withChina in one form or another. A briefperusal of the numerous cross-references from “China,” however, givesan indication of how the subject index isorganized. Cross-references from“China,” in part, include all the provinc-

es, “Armed forces, China,” and “Treatyports.” Further, cross-references from“Treaty ports” lead the reader to“Canton,” “Concessions,” “Foreignsettlements,” “Kiaochow,” and “Shang-hai.” These cross-references give thesubject index the organization andsophistication that complement thecomplexity of the microfilm collectionitself. In short, groups of these cross-references serve as “mini-indices” togive the researcher an indication ofwhat the major issues were and how theindexer organized and compiled theoften interrelated topics.

Additional Notes on IndexingMethodology

Subject index terms were chosen fora number of reasons, but all directlyreflect the subject matter in a conceptu-al or historical manner. For example,there are general entries such as“Railroads” and “Petroleum andpetroleum industry.” There are concep-tual entries such as “Employment andunemployment.” There are geographicentries such as “French Indochina” and“Yunnan Province.” There are alsohistorically specific entries such as“Boxer Rebellion.” Finally, there arename entries. Names listed here refer todocuments that contain substantiveinformation about either a particularperson or a record of conversation. Inthis way, the subject index does notconvey mere passing references toeach individual and reflects only director meaningful accounts of the views oractions of the individual indexed.

This microfilm guide indexes thefollowing provinces and regions: AnhweiProvince, Chahar Province, ChekiangProvince, Chinghai Province, FukienProvince, Honan Province, HopeiProvince, Hunan Province, HupeiProvince, Kansu Province, KiangsiProvince, Kiangsu Province, KwangsiProvince, Kwangtung Province,

xv

Kweichow Province, Mongolia, NinghsiaProvince, Shansi Province, ShantungProvince, Shensi Province, SikangProvince, Sinkiang, Suiyuan Province,Szechuan Province, Tibet, and YunnanProvince. The cities of Nanking andPeking are indexed separately fromtheir respective provinces.

If information regarding a certaintreaty port is desired, Ichang forexample, first the subject index entry“Treaty ports” should be accessed. All

information directly pertaining to Ichangis then listed. Since Ichang is in HupeiProvince and many dispatches andreports on that province also coverIchang, then a perusal of the “HupeiProvince” entries is necessary. Sometreaty ports, such as Canton andShanghai, appear often enough in thecollection to warrant their own primaryindex entries. These particular treatyports are also cross-referenced under“Treaty ports.”

Editorial Note

University Publications of America has microfilmed in their entirety all volumes ofBritish Foreign Office General Correspondence: Political (FO 371) for China from 1934through 1935.

Brackets are used in a number of ways in the Reel Index to convey unique featuresof the microfilm collection. For example, the entry for registry number F 145/10/34 onReel 26, which contains “Pages: 1–[78a],” illustrates that the page range for this fileends with a page that was not numbered but that followed page 77. Similarly, if aForeign Office clerk inadvertently numbered two pages “120,” caught the error, andhand numbered the second “120a,” this is displayed in the guide as “Pages: 1–120a.”Finally, “Pages: 1–120[a]” indicates that the inclusive page range ends with a page thatwas numbered the same as the preceding page (i.e., two page 120s). In addition,brackets are used in the Last Paper field to indicate that the last paper from a precedingvolume was not indicated on the initial paper of the file but could be inferred from thedocuments in the file or identified in a previous UPA guide to British Foreign OfficePolitical Correspondence.
