The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in China (Reinsch)
Department’s January 28, 6 p.m.
You may intimate to the Chinese authorities and to your British, French and Japanese colleagues that in view of the joint interest of the powers in currency reform and of the definite plans now well under way for the formation of a new International Group, the question of the appointment of a currency or financial adviser should be settled only after fuller consultation by all concerned. The Department feels that it should have exact information as to what the proposed powers of an adviser would be.
