The Chinese Ambassador (Hu Shih) to the Secretary of State

My Dear Mr. Secretary: I take pleasure in transmitting to you a telegram from Dr. H. H. Kung, Minister of Finance and Vice-President of the Executive Yuan, under date of March 25 as follows:

I wish to express the deep appreciation of the Chinese Government and people for all you have done in helping the consummation of the recent American loan to China. The speed and unanimity with which the loan was adopted are a tribute to your statesman-like grasp [Page 492] of our position and needs and a magnificent illustration of fighting democracy in action which will hasten our common victory over aggression.

(Signed) H. H. Kung

I remain [etc.]

Hu Shih
