694. Following from American Consul General at Mukden:

“June 21, 5 p.m. Supplementing my June 21, 4 p.m., it is apparent that Changchun is in dire need of funds and that the interested authorities are making every effort to evolve a practicable plan to secure the customs revenue. It is thought that the settlement of the difficult problem presented by the Dairen customs may hasten recognition by Japan.”
