811.515 Silver/36
The Chinese Minister (Sze) to the Secretary of State
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of October 12, 1934, in which you are good enough to send me your reply to the cablegram on the silver question from Dr. H. H. Kung, Minister of Finance at Nanking, which I transmitted to the Department on October 2, 1934.
I cabled at once your reply to Dr. Kung, who now requests me to express to you the thanks of our Government for the attention which the American Government has given to our representations and for the assurance that it is its desire to carry out the silver purchase program so as to avoid so far as may be possible disturbances to the economy and public finances of China, and to state that our Government is specially appreciative of the American Government’s willingness to have further friendly discussions in order to explore the larger problems in connection with this subject.
Accept [etc.]
