Major-General A.P.D. Telfer-Smollett, commanding the British Shanghai defense force, parleying with the commander of the Japanese armed launch (in beard) in Shanghai on Nov. 22, 1937. A Japanese interpreter is seen telling the general what the other had to say. Anglo-Japanese tension in Shanghai increased when as armed Japanese launch invaded Soochow creek as far as the British defense zone, and stirred up sharp British opposition when they attempted to proceed further.
