123 Colling, Guy Thomas: Telegram

The Consul General at Shanghai (Cabot) to the Secretary of State

Shanghai, June 25, 1949—noon.
[Received June 25—2:04 a. m.]

2486. Re ConGentel 2427, June 23, repeated Nanking 1310. Colling has been asked to come to Foreign Affairs Bureau at 2 this afternoon. Since I believe Foreign Affairs Bureau is proper forum in which to discuss official immunities, I am going with Colling to Foreign Affairs Bureau as requested. Despite possibility of trickery, I feel that we should not miss this possible chance to settle case.

Sent Nanking 1347; repeated Department.
