Dairen, August 30, 1948—9 a. m.
[Received September 30—11:40 p. m.]

131. Again called on Soviet ConGen re messages via Moscow after receipt Deptel 51, August 26 (received after sending Contel 32 to Nanking, repeated Department 127, Shanghai 50, Moscow 27). Soviets refuse commit selves but promise inform Consulate in few days.

Matters left basis current telegrams go Vladivostok and also may go Moscow. Perhaps best if Moscow Embassy itself reports if Dairen telegrams suddenly received by a new route.

Sent Department 131, Moscow 29, Department pass Moscow, Nanking 35, Shanghai 54.
