[Here follows text as printed above.]

You will note divergence between above letter and Soong’s statement to Clayton reported in Department’s 904 of June 14, 4 p.m. It would be to our advantage to proceed upon basis of Soong’s oral statement. Please discuss matter with appropriate authorities, with Soong if possible, with a view to reaching satisfactory understanding of action to be taken by Chinese Government.
