The Secretary of State to the Minister in China (Crane)
Washington, July 31,
1920—7 p.m.
198. In view of reorganization of Ministry of Finance Lamont suggests that you confer with Group representatives and with them take early means for ascertaining whether the views of the new Minister of Communications are not perhaps more enlightened than those of his predecessor in connection with Hukuang and Tientsin-Pukow bonds.
