The documents reproduced in this publication were originally collected and organized by the British Foreign Office. They are now housed at the Public Records Office, Kew, England.

Editorial Note

University Publications of America has microfilmed in their entirety all volumes of British Foreign Office General Correspondence: Political (FO 371) for China from 1934 through 1935. Brackets are used in a number of ways in the Reel Index to convey unique features of the microfilm collection. For example, the entry for registry number F 145/10/34 on Reel 26, which contains “Pages: 1–[78a],” illustrates that the page range for this file ends with a page that was not numbered but that followed page 77. Similarly, if a Foreign Office clerk inadvertently numbered two pages “120,” caught the error, and hand 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 that was 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 preceding volume was not indicated on the initial paper of the file but could be inferred from the documents in the file or identified in a previous UPA guide to British Foreign Office Political Correspondence.
