1309. According to an understanding the chief censor has now begun to send me confidentially a daily report of stopped telegrams. He asks me not to make this known to any other Government. His first report is that during the twenty-four hours ending December 20, 6 p.m., no telegram to the United States was stopped.

Your despatches about previously stopped messages are all under investigation and inquiry, which I am doing my best to hurry.

American Ambassador
