[Received January 29, 1934.]
Sir: I have the honor to refer to the American Legation’s despatch No. 2234, of August 3, 1933,33 entitled, “Claims Commission and Claims of American Material Creditors of Chinese Railways”, and to enclose herewith a memorandum dated December 11, 1933,33 of a conversation held on that date by the American Minister with Dr. Wang Ching-wei, President of the Executive Yuan and concurrently Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, on the subject of the proposed Claims Commission.
It will be noted that Dr. Wang again expressed himself as being in favor of establishing this Commission, but that he asked the American Minister to consult with Dr. H. H. Kung, Minister of Finance, on the following day.
Respectfully yours,
