The Chargé in China (Mayer) to the Secretary of State

Peking, September 28, 1927—3 p.m.
[Received September 28—10 a.m.]

893. Referring to Shanghai consul general’s 179, of September 26, 4 p.m.62 I fully share Cunningham’s opinion regarding the difficult and disadvantageous position in which American business interests at Shanghai are placed. It is respectfully urged that the Department approve Cunningham’s suggestion or authorize some other equally effective steps for their relief. This will also assure us in our efforts generally to maintain our treaty rights in China.

Mayer
