The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in China (Atcheson)
1165. With reference to paragraph 3 of Embassy’s 1487, August 17, 10 a.m.,60 please ask Adler discreetly to ascertain if possible character of purchasers of recent large sale of certificates (that is, whether the distribution was fairly general among the public or whether the purchases were made in high official and business circles and by banks) and to give his opinion regarding the possibility that knowledge of proposition which was subject of Department’s 1005, July 31, might not have influenced the purchasing.
