Confidential British Foreign OfficePolitical Correspondence

The General Correspondence fileswere and still are the main repository forthe documents collected by the BritishForeign Office. The files contain the vastmajority of the documentation receivedand created by the Foreign Office,which was established in January 1782.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 Foreign Office significantlyrevised the filing system of the GeneralCorrespondence in 1906. Since then,the Foreign Office has arranged thepapers into eleven classes of GeneralCorrespondence: Africa, New Series;Commercial; Communications;Consular; Contraband; DominionsInformation; Library; News; Political;Prisoners of War and Aliens; andTreaty. Each of these classes containsthe papers of the department after whichit is named, except for Political, whichcomprises several political departments.

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 informationneeded by the British government inorder to conduct diplomatic relations.

This includes the domestic political,economic, social, and cultural conditionsof another country plus that country’srelations with other nations, as well asBritish internal political concerns.

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 1932 and 1933.

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

(2) Central Department: Franco-German Relations; Peace Treaties;Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Czechoslova-kia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy,Roumania, and Yugoslavia;

(3) Eastern Department: Persia,Saudi Arabia (in 1932, Hejaz and Najd),and Turkey; Foreign Relations of Iraq,Palestine, Transjordan, and theindependent Arabian States;

(4) Egyptian Department: Abyssinia,Egypt, Eritrea, French and ItalianSomaliland, Jibuti, Liberia, Libya, Sudan,and Africa (general);

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

(6) League of Nations and WesternDepartment: Belgium, France, Holland,Luxemburg, Morocco, New Hebrides,Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland;League of Nations; Arms Traffic;Slavery and Native Labour; General;and

(7) Northern Department: Afghani-stan, Danzig (in 1933), Denmark,Estonia, Finland, Iceland (in 1933),Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland,Soviet Union, and Sweden.

In this microfilm edition, LexisNexishas published the formerly confidential

General Correspondence: Political fileson China from 1932 through 1933. Thepapers for each year were bound intovolumes by the Foreign Office in theorder in which they were originally filed.The majority of the documents found inthese files are despatches, letters, andtelegrams from British diplomatic poststo the Foreign Office and Foreign Officeletters, telegrams, and instructions tothe posts. In addition, there are a largenumber of documents created by theForeign Office, such as minutes ofmeetings, reports, and correspondencewith other government ministries andforeign government embassies inLondon. Also, cabinet papers dealingwith foreign policy and parliamentarydebates are kept 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 a registry number. Inthe case of outgoing correspondencethat was not a response, a copy of thatpaper would receive its own docketsheet and registry number. The registrynumber began at number one eachyear, and dockets were numberedconsecutively as they were received bythe Central Registry. One numberingseries was used for all departmentswithin the Foreign Office.

Docket sheets with the encloseddocument would then be forwarded tothe department responsible for thatcountry. Officials in the departmentwould 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 response tothe original document was attached tothe original docket sheet. These would

include internal Foreign Office memoran-da and reports, cabinet meetings andpapers, and drafts and copies of thereplies to the original document.

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, 1932–1933The British Foreign Office Political

Correspondence files on China for1932–1933 cover a myriad of topics,including Japanese aggression anddesigns in the years preceding the Sino-Japanese War of 1936–1945 and theChinese central government’s struggleagainst the Communists to effectivelycontrol China. Although nominally thegovernment of all China, the Nationalistgovernment exercised direct influencemainly in the central and lower Yangtzeprovinces and the coastal ports. ForeignOffice documents reported not only thepolitical facets of the Nationalist-Communist struggle and Japaneseaggression, but also further encroach-ments made by other foreign powersand other developments that affectedBritish interests in China.

These Foreign Office files extensivelydetail Sino-Japanese relations duringthis turbulent period. This collectioncovers the Japanese occupation ofManchuria during 1931 and 1932 andthe immediate and intense boycott ofJapanese goods in China. TheNationalist government’s support for theboycott (backed by Chinese business-men and students to promote China’s

ix

economic autonomy) forced Japanesecivilian interests to support Japanesemilitary intervention during the crisis.During the first three months of 1932,the Japanese reacted by landingseventy thousand troops in Shanghai.An agreement signed on 5 May createda demilitarized zone around theInternational Settlements, resulting in theend of the boycott. On 2 February 1932,Manchukuo (the Japanese puppet stateof Manchuria) became “independent.”While the former emperor of Chinabecame the chief executive of Manchu-kuo (and, in 1934, emperor), all import-ant activities were controlled by theJapanese.

This collection documents the Leagueof Nations’ response to this Japaneseaggression in China. A League ofNations commission of inquiry, led bythe Earl of Lytton, found that theJapanese military actions during andafter the “Mukden Incident” of 1931 werenot in self-defense and that the creationof Manchukuo was not a genuinemovement for independence. Thecommission’s report (the Lytton Report)recommended that Manchukuo beautonomously administered underChinese sovereignty with internationaladvisers and police, and that Japaneseeconomic interests there be recognized.Between January and March 1933, theJapanese moved to occupy Jehol andcontinued their advance south of theGreat Wall. On 4 February 1933, theLeague of Nations approved the LyttonReport, declaring the nonrecognition ofManchukuo and demanding cessation ofJapanese military pressure. Undeterred,Japan reacted to the Lytton Report andLeague of Nations condemnation bywithdrawing from the league in March1933.

Despite rising popular sentiment toresist the external threat from Japan,Chiang Kai-shek made it his policy todefeat internal enemies first. This

microfilm collection puts into context anddocuments the progress of the National-ist government’s extermination cam-paigns against the Communists, whowere seen as the greatest internal threatto political stability. In October 1933, theNationalists began their Fifth (and final)Encirclement and ExterminationCampaign. While this last campaign wastemporarily interrupted by the rebellionof the Nineteenth Route Army and itsestablishment of the People’s Revolu-tionary government in Fukien Provincein November 1933, it resumed with evengreater vigor in February 1934.

Despite the first four campaigns, theCommunists had organized and beganto govern the Kiangsi Soviet and wereonly driven out of Kiangsi Province inOctober 1934 when they began what isnow known as the Great March. 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 controlled, as local warlordsoperated virtually autonomously in someareas and occasionally rose up againstthe Nationalist government at Nanking.

The quantity of documentation onChina in the Foreign Office PoliticalCorrespondence files for 1932–1933 isgreater than that of any other westernnation. Although British influence waswaning in China and U.S. influence wasrising, British information gathering wasstill paramount. The documentationgathered by the numerous Britishdiplomatic, military, and commercialofficials is crucial to understanding theNationalist government at Nanking andJapanese activities and aggression inChina in what was effectively a preludeto the Second 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 the original(or main) document in a given year wasplaced within this same packet.

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, 1932 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 (1 Jan 1932) and theregistry number of this daughter packet(F 1).

Immediately below the year stamp isa box containing the complete ForeignOffice registry number (F 1/1/10) for theindividual daughter record. This is aunique number that refers only to thatspecific file. The letter “F” denotes FarEastern Department. The first numberidentifies the daughter record (1). (Asmentioned above, this number is alsostamped in the top right corner of thecover sheet.) The second numberidentifies the “mother” or initial record inthe file (also 1). The last number is thecountry code (10 is the code for China).In this guide, a registry number iscombined with the last two numbers ofthe year the document was received tocreate a meaningful citation. TheForeign Office registry number of thelast paper in the file started by ourexample is referred to in this guide asF 8935/1/10/32 and thus pertains to theFar Eastern Department’s document8935, which is on the same subject andis contained in the same mother folderas document 1, deals with China, andwas received in 1932.

In the same box but immediatelybelow the Foreign Office registrynumber is the document’s origin

xii

(League of Nations), and the dispatch ortelegram number (C. 1012). Below thisare two dates. The upper date is thedate of the document; the lower date isthe date the document was received bythe Foreign Office registry. At thebottom of this box is a reiteration of therelevant Foreign Office department andcountry (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 isusually an underlined title for thedocument (“Manchurian Situation”) and

a brief synopsis of the document’scontents. Under this, in the box labeled“Minutes,” there are often handwritten ortyped comments, sometimes quiteextensive, from members of the ForeignOffice. (“The gist of this Memo. wascommunicated to Sir F. Lindley….”)Within each daughter there aresometimes more pages with initialedcomments of varying length, which areeither attached to the cover sheet orscribbled on the back of it.
