Your October 3, 7 p.m.
The Department perceives no objection to the proposal of the banks to let the option for the Currency loan lapse unless it be on the grounds pointed out in the latter part of your telegram in view whereof it is desired that you reemphasize this Government’s former reservation contained in the Legation’s note No. 857 to the Foreign Office of October 8, 1918,19 as to its right to be consulted in any project of currency reform which the Chinese Government may propose to adopt.
