The Minister in China (Johnson) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 25.]
Sir: I have the honor to enclose a copy of a memorandum82 of a conversation which I had on July 5, 1934, with Mr. Jean Monnet who recently assisted in the organization of the China Development Finance Corporation.
Mr. Monnet said that, although the Japanese had opposed organization of this corporation, they were now beginning to seek an opportunity to cooperate with it as the non-political character of the organization is now evident.
Mr. Monnet is now on his way to Moscow, Paris, London, and New York and expects to return to Shanghai in the autumn.
Respectfully yours,
