Memorandum by the Under Secretary of State (Grew) of a Conversation with the Chinese Chargé (Yung Kwai)

I asked Mr. Yung Kwai to call and with reference to the Minister’s talk with the Secretary on June 14, in which the Minister informally inquired whether this government would be willing to raise its representation at Peking to the rank of an Embassy, I told the Chargé, informally, that this government did not feel that there was occasion for any alteration in the status of our diplomatic representation in Peking.
