811.113 Senate Investigation/61
The Chinese Legation to the Department of State
Aide-Mémoire
In connection with the hearings before the Special Committee of the United States Senate investigating the munitions industry it is reported in the press that Senator Nye said in an interview that he had evidence indicating that the $10,000,000 wheat loan made to China last year had been used to buy arms rather than to feed hungry Chinese.
The National Government has cabled to the Legation an emphatic denial of the truth of this statement and requests that it be furnished with such evidence as the Senator is reported to have in his possession.
