[Received January 13.]
Sir: Referring to the Department’s Instruction No. 1471 of December 14, 1932,29 relating to the report that a consortium of Japanese banks had decided to make a loan of 30 million yen to Manchoukuo, I have the honor to report that a member of the Embassy staff has been assured in informal conversations with officials of the Finance Ministry that the question raised has not been brought to the attention of the Ministry.
The matter will be carefully watched and any information that the Embassy is able to gather concerning it will be reported promptly to the Department.
Yours respectfully,
