99. The Albanian Minister handed me the following note this morning with the request that it be telegraphed to you:
[Translation]
“On instructions from its Government, the Royal Legation of Albania has the honor to appeal to the kind offices of the Honorable Embassy of the United States earnestly requesting it to be so good as to forward to the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, as well as to that of Nanking, the following communication:9
The Royal Government of Albania has followed with the greatest uneasiness the turn which Russo-Chinese relations recently took as a result of the situation created by engagements between the troops of the two powers in question.
The Royal Government of Albania, having the reign of peace in the world at heart, begs to associate itself with the Government of the United States in order to express the firm hope that the Governments of Moscow and Nanking will, by common accord, in conformity with the stipulations of the Peace Pact, find a formula capable of pacifically and definitely settling the differences which separate them.”
- The Albanian Minister for Foreign Affairs in note No. 3409/IV, December 12, 1929, informed the Chargé in Albania regarding this communication (861.77 Chinese Eastern/777).↩
