The Secretary of State to the Minister in China (Johnson)
Washington, September 16, 1935—3
p.m.
286. Department desires that in any contacts which you may have with Leith-Ross you adopt friendly attitude and if approached by him on official subjects be cooperative.
If he inquires whether this Government intends to send a financial attaché, reply as on your own responsibility that you “infer that it will not do so.”
