The Minister in China ( MacMurray ) to the Secretary of State

Peking , January 28, 1929—3 p.m.
[Received 8:27 p.m.]

59. 1. I have received a note of January 18 from Doctor Wang74 informing me that:

“The State Council of the Nationalist Government on January 4, 1929, voted upon and decided to set aside yearly $5,000,000 of the new customs revenues for use in the adjustment of both foreign and domestic loans; and to establish a committee for, and only for, the adjustment of foreign and domestic loans. In the future the responsibility for the adjustment of all foreign and domestic loans that should be adjusted will rest upon the above-mentioned committee.”

2. Unless otherwise instructed I propose to acknowledge the receipt of this note without comment.

MacMurray
