The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in China (Johnson)
Washington, November 18, 1936—6
p.m.
73. Your 329, November 18, noon. The Department feels that the action of the Chinese authorities in banning all Paramount pictures pending adjustment of the dispute over the motion picture “The General Died at Dawn” is arbitrary and without justification and authorizes you to make appropriate representations in regard to the matter.
