The documents in this microfilm collection have been obtained by University Publications of America (UFA) from the Central Files of the General Records of the Department of State, Record Group 59. These records are under the jurisdiction of the Legislative and Diplomatic Branch of the Civil Archives, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C., where they are housed. UFA has published these records in cooperation with the National Archives. The Central Files of the General Records of the Department of State contain the bu Ik of the records accessed in Record Group 59—some 82 percent of this Record Group, according to a National Archives estimate. The Central Files contain all instructions sent to and all correspondence received from diplomatic posts abroad by the Department of State. In addition, most of the State Department's internal documentation, as well as correspondence between the Department and otherfederal departments and agencies, Congress, and private individuals and organizations are included in the Central Files. The records filmed from the Central Files for this collection are from the Internal and Foreign Affairs subject classifications of the Central Files. They include telegrams, airgrams, instructions, inquiries, studies, memoranda, situation reports, translations, special reports, plans, and official and unofficial correspondence. These documents illuminate the Far East's political system, government, judiciary, laws, military, customs, economy, finance, agriculture, natural resources, industry, communications, media, and relations with the United States of America and other nations. Because of the broad scope of these records, they both supplement and complement the coverage offered by the Department of State's own Foreign Relations of the United States series. This collection has been microfilmed directly from the records held at the National Archives, Washington, D.C. As such, the records reproduced herein represent the best available copies. UFA is proud to make this collection available for your research. Confidential U.S. State Department Central Files

EDITORIAL NOTE

University Publications of America (UFA) has microfilmed these files in their entirety. Only duplicate copies of documents have been excluded from this micropublication. Citations to documents enclosed by brackets were misnum- bered by the Department of State. UFA has filmed these documents as they are filed at the National Archives. The correct decimal number with the correct subject citation is enclosed by the brackets. ORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE'S DECIMAL FILING SYSTEM

From 1910 to 1963, the Department of State used a decimal classification system to organize its Central Files. This system assembled and arranged individual documents according to their subject with each subject having been assigned a specific decimal code. The decimal system from 1930 to 1949 consists of nine primary classifications numbered 0 through 8, each covering a broad subject area.

CLASS 0: General. Miscellaneous.

CLASS 1: Administration, U.S. Government, including the Department of State and the Foreign Service.

CLASS 2: Extradition. The negotiation, application, and interpretation of extradition treaties and individual extradition cases.

CLASS 3: Protection of Interests. The protection of private and national interests.

CLASS 4: Claims. The negotiation, application, and interpretation of treaties on claims and individual claims cases.

CLASS 5: International Conferences (Congresses), Multilateral Treaties, Disarmament, League of Nations, United Nations, and Interparliamentary Union.

CLASS 6: Commerce, Customs Administration, and Trade Agreements.

CLASS 7: Political Relations of States, including diplomatic and consular representation and bilateral treaties, conventions, and agreements.

CLASS 8: Internal Affairs of State. Forthe internal affairs section of this publication, UFA has microfilmed the documents contained in CLASS 8. Within this class each subject is defined by a decimal file number. The decimal file number is followed by a slant mark (/). The number after the slant mark (/) refers to the date on which the document was generated. Documents within each decimal file number are arranged in chronological order. The entire decimal file number is stamped on the right side of the first page of every document. These classes are concerned almost exclusively with the internal matters of individual countries. The class number (8) is followed by the country number. The number following the decimal point indicates major classifications. The date after the slant mark (/) identifies the individual document.

Note: For the convenience of the researcher, whenever the pages repre- sented by a specific classification number total more than fifty but less than 250, a breakdown of the material by year is provided. Decimal files whose pages total more than 250 are listed by month and year. Frame File Subject
