The Italian Ambassador (Avezzana) to the Third Assistant Secretary of State (Long)

My Dear Mr. Long: Mr. Brambilla, whom I had asked to inquire from you, tells me that according to your point of view the United States Government would now have no objection to Italy eventually participating to the Consortium for Loans to China.

As the matter has already been the object of official conversations, I would now feel very much obliged if you could kindly let me have a statement of the position of the United States Government on the question.

Thanking you [etc.]

Romano Avezzana
