[Received July 7—1:48 p.m.]
796. Following from Dr. Kung for the Secretary of the Treasury refers to Department’s No. 576, July 1, 7 p.m.
“Your telegram dated July 1, 1942. Washington, is just received through the courtesy of Ambassador Gauss.
[Page 529]I much appreciate and agree with your suggestion that in view of the passing of Mr. Fox and the Japanese detention of Mr. William Taylor, the American alternate, in Hong Kong an acting alternate be appointed to perform the duties and obligations of the American member of the Stabilization Board.
I am equally gratified that you recommend Mr. S. Adler who during the late Mr. Fox’s visit to the United States had proved his ability as acting American member in cooperating with other members of the board.
I am therefore, happy to appoint Mr. S. Adler as the acting American alternate member of the Stabilization Board.
I trust this will find you in the best of health.”
