1076. From Adler for the Secretary of Treasury.
TF–59. Your 834 of September 14.
- Re I. Preparing study and shall forward it in near future.
- Re II (a). Minister of Finance’s reaction to proposal contained in your cable of July 1688 was obviously favorable. He indicated in July that he would like to pay off credit before next interest payment fell due.
- Re II (b). To best of my knowledge no action has yet been taken by Chinese Government. My impression is that Minister of Finance would still prefer to invest in War Savings bonds but is chary of possible reactions in Washington. [Adler.]
