The Chargé in China (Mayer) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 13—8:40 a.m.]
220. Following is excerpt from telegram from Swatow of June 10, 9 a.m.:
“Today’s newspapers accuse United States and France of perfidy in joining with Great Britain in diplomatic corps’ defence of police authorities. Also cite four needless killings of Chinese by American troops in 1912. There is every reason to believe every effort is being made by Bolshevik agitators to involve the United States but up to the present time students and other organizations have shown no definite anti-American feeling.”
