The Minister in China (Schurman) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 9—9:05 a.m.]
146. Legation’s telegram 142 of April 7, 3 p.m.46 I have just been informed by Minister for Foreign Affairs that MacMurray’s appointment as our Minister in China will be satisfactory to the Chinese Government which will heartily welcome him. At the same time the Minister for Foreign Affairs requested that our new Minister be ready to present his credentials to Tuan Chi-jui.
I have been informed that the Belgian and French Ministers have not presented their credentials as yet. I am seeking interviews with them to find out just what the facts are. As soon as possible I will telegraph further on this subject.
