The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Albania (Swift)

[Paraphrase]

27. Your no. 47, August 3, 4 p.m. Does the Albanian Government, in considering the question of the oil concessions, contemplate using as a basis the suggestions of the Financial Adviser reported in the Legation’s despatch no. 126, July 2? Keep Department fully informed regarding developments, and do not fail at appropriate time to repeat emphatically the representations previously made by the Government of the United States with regard to the Open Door, recalling the many assurances given Commissioner Blake and the American Minister in this respect.
