The Secretary of State to the Minister in China (Schurman)
4. Department has communicated the Legation’s telegram of January 2, No. 3, to Radio Corporation3 which informs the Department that Colonel Davis will be accompanied by an electrical expert, sailing within a few days for China.
It is suggested by the corporation that no action be taken on the matter of a concession for the French wireless company until after the fullest opportunity to lay the matter before the Government of China has been given Davis and Moss. This suggestion has the Department’s concurrence and the Chinese Government may be so informed.
You will be forwarded by the American Embassy at Tokyo a copy of the Japanese Embassy’s memorandum of December 24, 1924,4 which [Page 895] proposed adjusting the controversy in regard to the Federal contract on a basis which in general is analogous with the consortium arrangement. Your comment on the proposal of the Japanese is desired by the Department.
