The Secretary of State to the Minister in China (MacMurray)
Washington, May 3, 1929—2
p.m.
146. Chinese Minister left with me yesterday a note dated May 2, requesting United States to give “immediate and sympathetic consideration” to the desire of China “to have the restrictions on her jurisdictional sovereignty removed at the earliest possible date.” Minister stated that similar notes had been addressed to Ministers of the United States, Great Britain, France, Brazil, Norway and Holland. Can you confirm?
Department is preparing a reply and would welcome any comments or suggestions that you may wish to make.
