The Secretary of State to the Consul General at Shanghai (Lockhart)
419. Your 926, June 29, 4 p.m., wood oil of Werner G. Smith Company. If you have not already done so, please repeat to Tokyo your telegram under reference. Also say, as from the Department, that in the light of the information contained in your 926, the Department assumes that the American Embassy will in its representations stress the Department’s concern not only by reason of the delay but by reason of the unwarranted conditions which those responsible for the detention of the wood oil are seeking to attach to its release.
