其れは大日本帝国の外務大臣の広田弘毅さんがワシントンの米国政府に出した電報でした。
From: Tokyo (Hirota)
To: Washington
January 17, 1938
#227. Received from Shanghai as #176
Extra message
"Since return to Shanghai a few days ago I investigated reported atrocities committed by Japanese Army in Nanking and elsewhere. Verbal accounts of reliable eye-witnesses and letters from individuals whose credibility is beyond question afford convincing proof that Japanese Army behaved and is continuing to behave in a fashion reminiscent of Attila and his Huns. Not less than three hundred thousand Chinese civilians slaughtered, many cases in cold blood. Robbery, rape, including children of tender years, an insensate brutality towards civilians continues to be reported from areas where actual hostilities ceased weeks ago. Deep shame which better type of Japanese civilian here feel - reprehensible conduct of Japanese troops elsewhere heightened by series of local incidents where Japanese soldiers run amuck in Shanghai itself. Today North China Daily News reports a particularly revolting case where a drunken Japanese soldier, unable (to) obtain women and drink he demanded, shot and killed three Chinese women over sixty and wounded several other harmless civilians."
