The Minister in China (Schurman) to the Secretary of State

326. My 320 [319], September 21, 10 a.m. Consortium representatives telegraphed London 28th with respect to acceptance Yen’s invitation to them individually and personally to become advisers financial readjustment commission.

I recommend acceptance as they are the only Peking foreign bankers invited and it looks like a Chinese way of getting in touch with Consortium officials without recognizing Consortium.

My French, British and Japanese colleagues are telegraphing in same sense.
