The Ambassador in China (Johnson) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 2—2:05 a.m.]
236. My 234, June 1, 9 a.m. Information contained in a map of city of Chungking on which French Military Attaché plotted bombs dropped by two of three groups of Japanese planes on May 28 at 11:10 a.m., information which has been checked by members of staff of this Embassy, throws somewhat sinister light on Japanese raid, as all bombs dropped, with exception of two or three, landed in areas immediately in neighborhood of French and Soviet Embassies. Only miracle saved both Embassies. Third flight which came almost directly over this Embassy dropped bombs short on other side of city of Chialing. Map being forwarded to Department.
Repeated to Shanghai, Peiping; Shanghai please repeat to Tokyo.
