The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State

253. Drummond has handed to me for communication to you the following message from the Chinese Government dated October 23 which has been circulated to members of the Council:

The authorities at Kirin report that on Wednesday a Japanese airplane flew to Nunkingchiao and dropped six bombs causing heavy casualties. On the same day Japanese airplanes dropped five bombs on Ichienpu Railway station. There has been no withdrawal whatsoever from the occupied areas, but instead the situation has been aggravated by these bombings by Japanese planes.
