The Consul General at Taipei (Krentz) to the Secretary of State

Taipei, December 29, 1948—10 a.m.
[Received December 29—1:21 a.m.]

101. ReDeptel 68, Diversion of munition ships to Taiwan. I have received request from Chinese SOS¹² through local Foreign Office to advise it of arrival US aid vessels, material aboard, etc., so that advance preparations can be made.

I consider unwise present time Consul General take official cognizance such shipments and propose ignore request or if pressed state not in position obtain advance information.

Repeated Nanking 189.

Krentz

12. Service of Supply.
