The Secretary of State to the Minister in China (MacMurray)
Washington, July 28,
1927—3 p.m.
297. Your 765, July 27, 6 p.m. The Department fully appreciates the seriousness of the threatened levy of taxes and would be pleased to have your opinion on the following:
If this Government makes a definite announcement that it will not permit the Nanking or any other government to disregard its treaty rights, as suggested, and such notice fails to produce the desired effect what measures do you contemplate and recommend the Government should take to prevent the levy of these taxes in all parts of China?
