Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Address of the President to Congress December 7, 1915

File No. 793.94/371.

The Secretary of State to Chargé Wheeler.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, May 24, 1915—5 p.m.

The note to China to which you refer is identic with the one telegraphed you May 11, 5 p.m., and which you communicated to the Foreign Office May 13. Department does not understand why this note should cause criticism.

Bryan.
