Your telegram 23/2 139. [2] Following for [your] [3] information.

1. Telegram from Governor of Burma [4] despatched from Rangoon at
18.30 hours on February 24th.'No important change but if we can
get Australians here we might effect radical change for the
better. Obviously it will be anxious business getting them but I
feel it is a risk well worth taking as otherwise Burma is wide
open for Japanese. Some of our troops scouting back across
Sittang.'
