2274. Handed note on Dairen Consulate to Vyshinsky at 2005 (urtel 635, September 9) and explained briefly its contents. Emphasized clearly our desire for prompt reply and importance we attached to Soviet action, which Vyshinsky acknowledged as evident by my personal intervention. He assured me matter would be dealt with as rapidly as possible, and that he would avail himself of my offer to come personally to receive their answer.
