The Secretary of State to the British Appointed Ambassador (Grey)
Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Embassy’s Note No. 744 of October 18, 1919, regarding Italian participation in the new international consortium for financial business in China.79
A copy of your note was transmitted to the American Group for information and comment. The Department has now received their reply, in which it concurs, to the effect that they are in absolute accord with the suggestion advanced by the British Group and feel that the question of the inclusion of an Italian Group is one which, of necessity, must wait until after the consortium has been formed.
